July 25, 2014— OEConnection, an OEM parts e-commerce distribution network, launched a new version of its CollisionLink Shop application, the company announced Thursday.

The updated New CollisionLink Shop provides access to OEM-quality part illustrations through its catalogue integration, which aims to ensure all the correct parts needed for a repair are ordered. In addition, the site will allow shops to locate, source and purchase recycled parts by providing an integrated workflow with the Car-Part Pro product.

“Car-Part is seen as a market leader in recycled parts locating and sourcing,” said Bill Lopez, director of collision and OEM program management for OEConnection. “We feel by enhancing CollisionLink to include recycled parts as part of our workflow and feature set, we are delivering a solution that builds upon the value it already delivers to current body shop users of CollisionLink.”

CollisionLink Shop is offered to collision repair facilities at no cost.  OEConnection will begin upgrading current users to the new version of CollisionLink Shop this fall. Visit OEConnection's website for more information about the new CollisionLink Shop application.
