Fleet operators will now find it quicker and simpler to source high-quality recycled vehicle parts following a new partnership between epyx and The Green Parts Specialists.
Through the agreement, fleets using epyx’s 1link Service Network can access The Green Parts Specialists’ online catalogue of more than 350,000 recycled components, available for direct delivery. For major components such as engines and gearboxes, fleets can also choose a full ‘supply and fit’ service, with jobsheets logged seamlessly within the 1link Service Network SMR platform.
All parts supplied are checked in line with Vehicle Recyclers Association (VRA) standards. The Green Parts Specialists, part of the Copart family of brands, are VRA certified and also meet the BS10125 BSI Kitemark standard for vehicle damage repair.
Lewis Woolnough, sales director at The Green Parts Specialists, said:
“There is growing fleet demand for recycled parts both from a cost point of view and because they are more environmentally friendly. This new partnership will help to satisfy that need.
“Fleets can easily search through our catalogue of recycled parts, the largest available in the UK, with every item checked, graded and provenanced to the highest available standards. Delivery is available next day on a nationwide basis from our hubs across the country, together with a 12-month warranty.”
Alongside its parts catalogue, The Green Parts Specialists’ ‘supply and fit’ service is designed to minimise vehicle downtime, reduce costs and lower environmental impact. Engines and gearboxes are carefully sourced from dismantled vehicles, fully tested, professionally fitted and returned to service within a week.
Lewis added:
“Really, this deal has the potential to bring about a new era for recycled parts in the fleet sector, making fitted, high quality parts more accessible than ever before.”
Greg Tucker, director of OEM and network management at epyx, said:
“Fleets often refer to this option as ‘green’ parts – a reclaimed manufacturer vehicle component, safely removed from a donor vehicle and re-used as an environmentally sustainable alternative to a new part. We believe fleets and garages may find this to be an attractive alternative given the potential not only for some cost savings but also environmental advantages.
“Our new partnership with The Green Parts Specialists provides a highly effective route to incorporate recycled parts into standard SMR processes, and we’re expecting interest from fleet users of 1link Service Network to be considerable.”
1link Service Network currently processes close to 18,000 service jobsheets each day, supporting fleets totalling 4.9 million vehicles and more than 8,500 supplier partners.
