For panel beaters and auto repair shops, the parts supply relationship is everything. Slow delivery, poor fitment, and unreliable quality can cost a workshop time, money, and client trust. ARPC Direct was built with the trade in mind — offering quality alternative auto parts, competitive trade pricing, and fast delivery to panel beaters and repair shops across Centurion and Bloemfontein.
Why Alternative Parts Are Right for the Trade
The South African auto repair market is under pressure. Insurance companies push for cost containment, clients expect fast turnarounds, and dealership parts often have lead times that kill workflow. Quality alternative parts solve all three problems:
- Cost – Alternative parts are typically 30–60% cheaper than OEM, keeping insurance and cash repairs competitive.
- Availability – Our warehouse holds stock, meaning no weeks-long waits for imported OEM parts.
- Quality – We supply parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications — quality a panel beater can stand behind.
The Vehicle Body Repairers' Association (VBRA), a sector of the RMI, recognises the critical role that alternative parts now play in the sustainability of the body repair industry in South Africa.
