First you need to decide what spare parts you will sell, for domestic cars or for foreign ones. We would recommend that you start with sales of spare parts for Russian cars.
Capital expenditures: 1,500,000 rubles
Average monthly revenue: 1,000,000 rubles
Net profit: 104,000 rubles
Payback: 14.3 months.
Despite the fact that there is a lot of competition in this segment, the demand for domestic spare parts is significant, since Russian cars make up a significant share of the vehicle fleet, while Russian cars tend to frequent breakdowns.
Alternatively, you can start with the GAZ brand. The demand for spare parts of this brand is constant and significant, since cars of the GAZ family are the most common commercial vehicles in Russia.
Location
To open a spare parts store, a premises located in a residential area is suitable. The area must be from 100 sq.m. (The area of the retail outlet depends on the number of brands sold) When choosing a premises, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- Availability of necessary communications (Heat, electricity, hot and cold water supply, sewerage);
- Availability of convenient parking (at least for 5-7 cars);
- The absence of nearby competitors selling similar brands of spare parts;
- The premises must have at least 3 rooms: a sales area, a utility room and a warehouse;
If you rent a store, you need to carefully study the lease agreement and Special attention pay attention to the following points:
- Is it included in rent utility bills, or paid by the tenant himself;
- The lease agreement must clearly state how often and how much the lessor can increase the rental price;
- When concluding a lease agreement, it is necessary to include in the lease agreement a clause on the extension of the lease for a new period, as well as penalties subject to early termination of the lease agreement;
- When concluding a lease agreement, be sure to discuss with the landlord the possibility of concluding long-term contract rent.
Recruitment
A professional salesperson is one of the main factors in the success of your business. It directly depends on the seller whether the buyer will purchase necessary spare parts whether he will return for a repeat purchase, whether he will recommend the store to his friends. The seller must have a good understanding of the product being sold, be able to give competent advice, and have a good understanding of the structure of the car.
Searching for personnel is a long process and is somewhat similar to searching for gold nuggets. (you need to sift through tons of sand to find a grain of gold), but if you manage to find a competent seller, then this is almost 50% success. Salespeople's salaries should be directly tied to revenue in order to stimulate their sales activity. As an option, you can install the following motivation system for sellers:
- The senior salesperson receives a salary + bonus of 0.75% of revenue.
- The seller receives a salary + bonus of 0.5% of revenue.
Where to find auto parts suppliers?
Where to find a supplier and how to structure the work process is the central issue of organizing a car shop business.
Products must be purchased from trusted suppliers (initially check each supplier on the Internet by typing in its name - if there is some nasty stuff about it, then, believe me, it will definitely come up), preferably being official dealers of the brand of spare parts being purchased. This minimizes the risk of buying quality products, and you will also have the opportunity to return defective parts. So if you purchase spare parts from official dealer"GAZA", then you have the right to hang a sign with the "GAZA" logo on the store. Payment for products is mainly carried out by bank transfer, but payment in cash is also possible, payments can be made with a deferred payment of up to 30 days.
If you decide to start selling spare parts for foreign cars, then large logistics centers that operate on a pre-order system will help you with this:
They cooperate with transport companies, the work is fully organized. Thanks to the pre-order system, you do not need a huge assortment of spare parts and inventory. However, if you decide to make a highly specialized store (GAZ), then it would be nice to have a product group consisting of the most popular spare parts. Best selling car parts(auto parts):
- Bumper
- Engine
- Side mirror
- Side door
- Stop signal
- Hub
- suspension arm
- Rack
Important points in organizing activities
So, what do you need to open an auto parts store?
- Mandatory control over the activities of sellers. It is necessary to come to the outlet every day;
- To understand the trafficability of the point and control the sellers, it is necessary, on an ongoing basis, to independently perform the functions of a seller;
- The process of ordering goods from suppliers must be controlled independently, monitor the best-selling products, and include new items;
- When the point reaches self-sufficiency, it is necessary to discuss with the landlord the possibility of concluding a long-term lease agreement.
To increase revenue, you can try to supply products to industrial enterprises. Currently, many large enterprises are switching to purchasing products through electronic trading, which increases the transparency of ongoing trading. But when supplying products to industrial enterprises, you will need to switch to a taxation system that allows you to work with VAT, i.e. for retail trade you can report on UTII, and for wholesale trade on 3 personal income tax.

If you want to start a profitable and stable business, we recommend that you open an auto parts store. Spare parts are always needed - the number of cars in Russia is growing, but the quality of roads is constantly falling. With the right approach to business, you can quickly recoup all your investments and even create an entire chain of stores.
Introduction
Despite the outbreak of the crisis, there are no fewer cars on the roads. Few people moved to public transport— people continue to travel by car as before personal cars. Some workers have even increased the number of trips they make – more meetings and consultations need to be held to support required level sales of goods.
Even those who were directly affected by the crisis do not put their car on hold - they simply reduce the number of trips. But if something happens to the car, they will definitely repair it. And for repairs you always need spare parts. Let's figure out why start an auto parts business and what is needed for this.
How to start
First of all, study your competitors. Surely in yours locality There are stores that sell spare parts. Visit them, consider the range of products and prices, opening hours and location. Think about ways to entice local service stations and car repair shops to purchase spare parts from you.
Perhaps you can offer them preferential prices or short delivery times. An auto parts store is a fairly profitable and interesting business. Initially, you will not have many customers - people, out of habit, will go to buy spare parts in trusted stores. But if you trade wisely, sell only quality spare parts
and organize various promotions, you will quickly build up a client base. And one more thing - people always buy spare parts. There will be no such principle as in an electronics store, when a person makes one purchase every 2-3 years. The car is constantly in need of spare parts.
Types of spare parts stores
- Stores selling spare parts are divided into two broad types:
- Online stores.
Classic stores are also divided into several types. Some sell spare parts exclusively to order, others have their own warehouse and display case, and others sell only parts for certain types of cars.
For a small spare parts store, it is usually enough to register a regular individual entrepreneur. This will allow you to save on taxes and quickly submit reports without unnecessary headaches. If you want to open a large store, enter into contracts for the supply of spare parts to well-known service stations, etc., then it is better to choose an LLC. This will allow you to get more clients, but will increase your tax rate.
Your store should have everything from oils to tires
Premises requirements
Any costs of starting a business can be divided into two types:
- Permanent (salaries, taxes, rent, purchase of goods, repairs).
- One-time (purchase of premises, equipment, registration costs and furniture).
One of the main expense items will be the building for your store. If you plan to open a full-fledged establishment, then you need to find a room with a size of 50 m2 (preferably at least 80 square meters), which should be divided into a warehouse, a sales area and a staff room. It is best if the premises are located near a car wash or car service center, near garage cooperatives, near a major highway or in residential areas. The building must have water supply, sewerage, electricity, ventilation and fire alarm. The best option There will be a room with two entrances: customers will come through the main one, and goods will be delivered through the back one. There should be at least minimal parking in front of the building itself. For equipment, you will need durable shelving, display cases and racks.
For accounting you will need a computer with appropriate software, internet, telephone and furniture.
Online store
An online store allows you to organize a business with minimal investment. To do this, you only need an office (you can even work from an apartment). You will save on:
- For rent.
- Staff.
- Utilities.
Many novice businessmen open an online store and resell spare parts, buying them in classic stores. This is the wrong approach and will not bring you serious profits. It is still better to purchase the most popular goods yourself and send them immediately after placing the order, rather than running around the city looking for the right part.
An online store can significantly expand your customer list
Some warehouses allow you not to buy goods, but to take them for sale. This great option for online stores.
let's consider how to open an auto parts store from scratch and take goods for sale without investing money in it.
You will need a website, which you can order from freelancers or create yourself using numerous free engines. Then you will need to promote it to search engines for specified key queries. After this, you will have real visitors who will place orders, and you will send them goods. To take it for sale, you need to agree with suppliers . Usually they give the goods for sale on the condition that a certain amount is returned to them every month. If you go for it, you can save a lot on your investment.
But usually an online store is not opened as a separate business, but as an addition to an existing one. When you have a functioning spare parts store, you will open your website in order to attract a large number of customers.
Staff and assortment
You will need:
- Shop assistant.
- Administrator-accountant.
- Loader-cleaner.
At the initial stages, you can play the role of administrator and accountant. In this case, you only need a seller, who can also become a loader. But in the future it is necessary to hire people for this work.
To choose an assortment, you need to decide what exactly you will sell. Perhaps you will make a bias towards domestic cars. Or for freight. Or for some certain brands. You should always have all spare parts and consumables available:
- Motor oils and other technical fluids.
- Ball joints, gaskets, various rubber bands, etc.
- Optics.
- Tires, wheels.
- Glass.
- Spare parts for chassis repairs (shock absorbers, springs, struts, etc.).
- Candles, screws, wipers, pumps, first aid kits, etc.
In order to successfully fight competitors, it is necessary to set prices 5-10 percent lower by organizing high-quality delivery of spare parts to order. Your assortment should include: original spare parts, and “analogues” - people often buy cheaper goods.
A separate building will allow you to open additional business- car wash or tire service
Suppliers
Where to find suppliers? On the Internet, in newspapers, in the media. You need to choose several quality sellers who will not only offer the required range, but will also guarantee that delivery times are met. If you constantly miss deadlines, the number of clients will drop sharply.
Advertising
You can start promoting your store even before it opens. Launch an advertising campaign with flyers, banners, and banners. Focus on good assortment, affordable prices, discounts, minimum delivery times. Conduct various promotions and competitions, make yourself a good sign, create groups on social networks and topics on local forums. Offer a discount to regular customers, make small discounts for pensioners and students - you need to focus on regular customers.
Profitability
In this article we will give only an example auto parts store business plan , since everything depends greatly on location and many other factors. To open a standard store with an area of 80 m2, equip it and fill it with goods, you will need about 2 million rubles. The profit for the year with the right approach will be at least 1.4 million rubles, that is, the store will pay for itself in about 15 months and after that it will begin to bring you additional profit.
In order to increase income, you can organize a car wash or service station near the car shop. This business has excellent prospects for development, and the profit will be constant and high!
