bulbs

[Rooster]

How many different types of bulbs should I be stocking? Is there any kind of bulk way to buy them where I can get everything at once? Trying to implement an inspection process where we check bulbs, wipers, etc and upsell this stuff.

 

How many different types of wipers would you say to carry?

Rooster,

I can not even count all the different bulb #s we stock now. Wagner has a cabinet that you should be able to purchase thru your local supplier to give you a good starting point, but you may need to add additional part numbers. I believe we are stocking about 45 to 50 different bulbs. On wipers we use Anco Profile beam blades. The blades have multiple clips that allow coverage for most every vehicle we service.

They had a starter kit that I believe was around $300 to $400 that gave you 6 each of the different length blades, plus all the different clips. We've used them for 2-3 years with great success.
