Parts (WIP)
Purpose: Introduces the reader to the dealership’s parts department, which is where customers go to: get advice on which parts to buy, buy parts, and get out-of-stock parts ordered on their behalf.
Note: If the customer wants the part to be installed by the dealership, this is handled by a separate department - the service department.
Examples
RV Dealer | Powersports & Power Equipment Dealer | Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Dealer
Note - These examples are all from dealers who have not yet filled out the new intake form, so they lack specifics that would be included for dealers who have filled out the new intake form.

The following covers the most popular dealership offerings. Each dealer may not offer all of them. For example, they may not sell aftermarket accessories.
When you write a Parts page, be sure to cover everything the dealer does offer (based on the Dealer Info in the OF Chatter as well as the Dealer Website). Do NOT claim the dealer offers something unless it is explicitly mentioned in one of those resources.
