Megaparts
It's funny that the subject of Megaparts came up. Very soon (within weeks) we will be transitioning Fastlane over to something VERY similar to Megaparts. In fact, we will be able to offer exactly what Megaparts offers because we will working with the same supplier they do. Megaparts was the first "beta" site and we are the second.
In essence we will have 2 parts "stores" on the MercedesShop website...
- PartsShop will continue to operate much the same as it does today. This means we will continue to sell a full range of Mercedes parts including OE quality, special order parts, Service CD's, additives and some special tools. You will either have to know your part number or submit an inquiry to buy parts.
- Fastlane will transition into a "Megaparts" style interface. It will be 100% self-service which means you don't have to know your part number to buy parts...just your year, model and Vin#. We will also be able to offer parts for ALL of the car make you see in Megaparts. That is 27 brands of cars! You will be able to buy parts for just about any import car. The only downside is that the overall parts selection will not be quite as comprehensive as PartsShop. Since Fastlane and PartsShop are actually 2 separate stores you will not be able to place one order with parts from both stores. Also, the pricing in both stores will not always be the same.
Bottom line...both stores are MercedesShop and we will stand behind anything you buy from either store. Why two stores? Because we want to bring our MercedesShop members the widest selection and the best prices WITHOUT sacrificing quality or customer service. We have been working on this deal for several months and we think everyone will be impressed with the many parts options we will be able to offer you.
More to come on this subject!
