Multi-supplier stock lookup · Auto repair & tire shops — One search shows the tire on your rack and at every distributor
A multi-supplier tire and parts search lets an advisor type a size, part number or vehicle once and see the shop's own stock, including used tires, next to each distributor's stock, cost and delivery time. The advisor picks the option and adds it to the repair order from the same screen.

Why auto repair & tire shops add this
Quoting tires usually means checking the rack, then two or three distributor websites, then working out the price, while the customer waits at the counter or on the phone.
Putting every source in one search turns that into a single step. It also makes used tires visible next to new ones, which helps shops that sell both.
Example · illustrative
A tire and repair shop at the counter
At 10 am a customer at the counter needs two tires in an uncommon truck size, and the advisor types it once. The screen shows two pairs on the used rack and stock at two tire distributors. Each row has cost, delivery day and the shop's price. The customer picks a new pair arriving that afternoon. The advisor adds them to the repair order from the same screen.
