2024 Update: Private Label/Store Brand Parts Purchasing by Independent Auto Repair Shops
In July 2024, we spoke with 500 independent automotive repair shops about their purchase frequency and use of private label brands as well as the reasons why they use private label brands.
For the first 8 months of 2024, private label part purchases at independent repair shops remained steady at an average of 38.9%. The percent of shops reporting they’ve increased their purchasing of private label brands has increased to 54.1% from 37.0% in 2023.
Over the next year, 51.2% of independent repair shops expect to increase their private label parts purchases, up from 27.0% in 2023.
Independent auto repair shops that expect to increase their private label purchases in the future cited lower costs as the primary reason. In 2020 and 2021, the pandemic drove customer uncertainty and behavior. In the 2022 survey, the pandemic was no longer mentioned as a driving factor. In 2024, the majority of shops planning to increase private label usage identified cost savings or other inflation-related drivers.
