📦 Tuesday Tip: Know Your Returns Program!

Are you making the most of your manufacturer's parts return program?

Understanding your return policies, eligibility requirements, and deadlines can make a big difference in reducing obsolete inventory and recovering valuable dollars.

Don't leave money sitting on your shelves!

🎥 Watch this week's Tuesday Tip to learn why knowing your returns program is an important part of managing a profitable parts department.

“We sold a part 29 months with no sale... and we still recovered over 69% of the value, more than $600! That’s why we use PartsFisher.”
- Sergio Chi, Parts Manager, Go Freightliner of Miami Dade

Twenty-nine months on the shelf. A lot of parts departments would have written that part off long ago. Sergio turned it into more than $600.

Every aging part on your shelves is cash you already paid for. PartsFisher puts it in front of verified franchise dealers who need it, so it goes back to work as cash.

There’s still time to get your parts count done before December 31.

Your year-end numbers lean on that count. Your controller wants it, your CPA wants it, and a count on the books before close means you start January with a baseline you can trust.

PartsCount sends our crew onsite to handle it from start to finish. Your team stays on the counter. A clean, labeled department can often be counted in about six hours, and your reconciled report comes back within a week.

Book now and you get more say in the date. Lock in your count. Link’s in the comments.

Every month an obsolete part sits on your shelf, it's worth a little less than the month before.

A component that goes a year without selling ties up more than shelf space. Your capital stays frozen, the carrying costs keep stacking, and the resale value slips the whole time. Wait long enough and your only real options are a write-off or the scrap bin.

There's a window before that point, and it's open right now. PartsFisher puts your aging parts in front of verified franchise dealers across the country who are looking for exactly what you're sitting on. You recover real cash while the part still has value left to recover.

The parts you move this month are worth more than the ones you move next month.

Meet Cassidy Payne First, Controller at Total Dealer Solutions.

Cassidy keeps the numbers straight and the team supported. Finance, HR, troubleshooting, or just pointing you to the right person, she's the one who knows where everything goes. Before joining TDS in 2022, she taught high school math, so she's used to breaking hard things down and making sure nobody feels silly for asking. As she says it herself, there's no such thing as a dumb question.

When she's not working, you'll find Cassidy traveling with her husband or keeping her five dogs and her nieces and nephews entertained.

Thank you for everything you do, Cassidy!

🚨 Tuesday Tip: Are You a Parts Hoarder?

Holding onto obsolete parts hoping they'll eventually sell? That inventory could be tying up valuable space and capital in your parts department!

Knowing when to hold, return, or move aging inventory is key to keeping your parts department profitable.

🎥 Watch this week's Tuesday Tip and ask yourself: Is your inventory working for you or holding you back?

The smoothest counts are won in the weeks beforehand.

Preparing for a physical inventory is really about making your department easy to count. Clean data and an organized floor let your counters move fast and land an accurate number the first time.

Most of it is small stuff that piles up, like bin locations that need updating, special orders to organize, superseded parts to relabel, and clutter to clear out. Knock it out early and it stays out of your way once the count starts.

Give yourself the runway and count day takes care of itself.

Our guide walks through exactly what to prepare and how to get ahead of it.

Start now. Prep guide's in the comments.

Mark Payne grew up in the car business, from pulling weeds on his dad's dealership lot at age 9 to owning his own franchise. He's spent his career across sales, finance, service, and parts, and he built Total Dealer Solutions around what he learned.

On Monday, October 19, he's bringing that experience to the AICPA Dealership Conference stage.

His session is a live demo of the TDS Proven Process, the mix of on-site counts and software that gets dealerships to clean, trusted parts numbers. You'll see how expert physical inventory, daily reconciliation, and a dealer-to-dealer marketplace work together to close variance, surface hidden losses, and rebuild trust between parts and accounting. He'll share real client results too.

If your parts and accounting numbers keep drifting apart, this is the session to catch.

Every dealer has chased a part that nobody seems to stock anymore. The customer's waiting, the OEM says backordered, and the clock keeps running.

Somewhere out there, another dealer has that exact part sitting on a shelf.

PartsFisher connects you to a verified network of franchise dealers selling genuine OEM parts, including the discontinued and hard-to-find ones. Source what you need from a real dealership, often below OEM retail, and get your customer handled.

No brokers. No mystery sellers. Just dealers buying from dealers.
