BANNERS
Today, Vast-Auto Distribution supports a network of stores and repair shops
Our banner program contributes greatly to the growth in our members’ sales figures and its success is the direct result of great business relationships with parts stores and affiliated service centers.
AUTO MÉCANO
The current economic situation, combined with increasing customer demands, present a new challenge for many garages, wholesalers and warehouses. Consumers who want to keep their vehicles longer visit their local service centers for maintenance and auto repairs. The Auto Mecano marketing program was developed with this reality in mind.
The program is designed for independent installers and specialized service centers that want to increase their customer base, get better prices, and project a professional image. Service centers that join the program get entrepreneurial support in terms of management and marketing.
CERTIFIED AUTO REPAIR
Certified Auto Repair has over 5,300 repair centers across North America and the United States.
