eBay Motors is introducing tire installation services to its offerings, beginning in Germany this month and in the U.S. this summer. This new addition of new features and services will deliver a more personalized and innovative experience to automotive buyers. Additionally, an improved site experience will debut enhanced shopping features, such as a partnership with TrueCar in the U.S., to offer buyers helpful tools when shopping for new vehicles.

"At eBay we're focused on providing the most convenient shopping experience for our customers," said Jay Hanson, eBay's Vice President of North America Merchandising, Hard Goods. "Adding auto services as well as the TrueCar integration showcases our commitment to extending value and insight to buyers around the world."

Pairing Quality Inventory and Seamless Tire Installation

For the first time, eBay is adding a new service to its Motors platform, giving shoppers the ability to bundle new tire purchases with professional installation in their local area. With this new feature, tires will conveniently ship directly to nearby automotive repair shops for installation. The new option begins this month in Germany, and will be rolled out to the U.S. later this summer.

A Redesigned Motors Destination

eBay is also unveiling a new Motors homepage experience for desktop. The improved homepage offers enhanced search and browsing features for a massive selection of vehicles – both new and used – as well as parts & accessories.

In a new partnership with TrueCar in the U.S., eBay shoppers will have access to deeper insights into new vehicle pricing to quickly compare car prices.

"eBay is committed to enhancing its marketplace with the best information and buying experience it can provide to its shoppers," said Chip Perry, TrueCar's President and Chief Executive Officer. "TrueCar's pricing and Certified Dealer Network deepens and expands eBay's new car experience and we are excited to launch this enhanced platform."

Offering Best-in-Class Variety & Resources

The eBay Motors platform also continues to personalize each shopper's journey by offering customized fitment with My Garage, as well as trusted programs like WeGoLook, Assurant Protection Plan, and Vehicle Protection. From general maintenance and small upgrades to a full restoration of a beloved classic car, eBay Motors offers buyers great deals, fast delivery and any part one might ever need.
