OEConnection LLC (OEC) said U.S. repair shops can now search and order original equipment parts, aftermarket parts, and tires in a single PartsTech search and cart, after integrating its RepairLink network. The Fairlawn, Ohio, company announced the launch on Nov. 2, 2026.

OEC called the combined marketplace the first at this scale to bring all major part types together. Until now, the company said, shops typically sourced OE and aftermarket parts on separate platforms. With RepairLink connected, preferred OE dealers appear in the same PartsTech results as aftermarket parts and tires, so shops can compare options and place orders in one workflow.

PartsTech already connected shops to more than 240 aftermarket suppliers, more than 60 tire suppliers, and distributor-sponsored promotions, according to OEC. The RepairLink integration adds nearly 9,000 OE dealers in all 50 states, manufacturer-sourced OE diagrams, and OE-sponsored promotions from more than 14 OE brands alongside the existing aftermarket distributor promotions.

Shops connect an existing RepairLink account to PartsTech at no charge, which OEC said automatically adds the shop's preferred OE dealers and dealer pricing. RepairLink dealers are connected automatically. The marketplace is available now to all U.S. repair shops through PartsTech and to RepairLink dealers.

"For too long, mechanical shops have had to work through a fragmented, error-prone parts procurement process that slows repair order times and, ultimately, hurts shop performance," said Greg Kirber, SVP of Mechanical eCommerce at OEC. "The PartsTech and RepairLink integration changes that. Shops can now find and order every part they need, whether it's aftermarket, OE, or tires, in a single search and cart. This is something shops have requested for a long time, and we're excited to deliver it."

For dealers, OEC said the integration puts their parts inventory in front of PartsTech's network of more than 34,000 shops at the start of the ordering process, without changing how they manage orders. OE parts orders placed in PartsTech flow into the RepairLink Dealer Portal for review and approval. The company said the workflow does not bypass dealer approval, and that consolidating sourcing can reduce phone calls and manual lookups for counter teams.

"Shops want to spend less time sourcing parts and more time repairing vehicles and serving their customers," said Greg Rivera, President at OEC. "Through the RepairLink integration, PartsTech now connects their preferred OE dealers with their aftermarket and tire suppliers, while providing both OE- and distributor-sponsored promotions, all in one place. That's time and margin back in the shop's hands, and that's what keeps a repair business growing."
