Beginning this month, Magneti Marelli will begin supplying MOPAR and Chrysler Group dealerships with brakes, shocks, struts, oil filters, air filters, fuel filters and cabin filters for competitive makes. Other product lines will gradually phase into the Chrysler Group dealership network.
This will allow Chrysler dealers to sell parts to independent auto repair shops, and compete against regional parts retailers. Now Chrysler dealers will have access to everything from hoses and switches to oil filters and wheel bearings for Honda, GM, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Kia and Hyundai vehicles.
