PROFILE
Get Your Parts Seen with
The LOCATOR
The Locator continues to bridge the gap between the
automotive recycling and automotive repair industries,
and now has even reached the public.
The Locator is always on the lookout for new ways to
promote the use of our customers’ recycled auto
parts. Our online part search was recently featured,
twice, on the national television show TruckTech. The
search, and website , saw a
massive spike in traffic after the airings. We plan to
work with the producers again in the future.
The Locator Magazine strives to fill an industry niche
as the only national magazine offering used auto and
truck parts listings. And The Locator’s Directory,
mailed each October, connects buyers and sellers
throughout the country.
Locator UpFront is still one of the premier B2B publi-
cations about recyclers for recyclers. It offers tips and
techniques, plus in-depth auto recycler profiles.
The Locator was founded in 1957 in Whiting, Iowa by
John Holmes. It began as an auto salvage pamphlet
called the “Salvage Locator.” The company eventually
grew into the world’s largest used auto and truck parts
magazine. Today, more than 55 years later, The
Locator continues to promote and support the use of
recycled auto parts through its many products.

Parts Trader
PartsTrader offers a unique, comprehensive collision
parts marketplace, where all part types are easily
available to repairers, creating a one-stop sourcing
experience. PartsTrader connects you with colli-
sion repairers at the moment that they are actively
looking for replacement parts.
 PartsTrader can help you increase collision parts
sales without increasing your sales team's work-
load.
 PartsTrader can help you find new business op-
portunities in several ways:
 New customers will find you when they submit
quote requests to the trusted supplier network
within PartsTrader.
 Quote requests you receive through PartsTrader
will allow you to see the full parts list for a repair,
all the time.
Even your most loyal customers may not be currently
coming to you for every part, and may not even know
you can supply some of those parts. You may see
parts requested that you don’t currently inventory, but
find an opportunity to add to your offering.
With a streamlined quoting/procurement process,
your staff can spend their time on building those criti-
cal relationships, and even increase the number of
quotes they can manage in a day.
PartsTrader is focused on improving the quality of the
collision parts sourcing and purchasing experience for
all industry stakeholders. Through PartsTrader, re-
pairers have access to the most comprehensive parts
market representing all types of parts suppliers, level-
ing the playing field where all collision parts suppliers
can compete freely on service, quality and price.
