OEC Mechanical Shop Newsletter 

 

It’s the time of year where we typically say something like “it’s hard to believe we’re in the homestretch of another busy year...” but 2025 is a little different for the OEC team. As we’ve expressed in previous newsletters, this year marks OEC’s 25th anniversary. We are beyond thankful to celebrate this significant milestone and for the opportunity to serve all of our partners and customers over the past 25 years. We are also excited for the future and to continue connecting our customers across the automotive repair & supply ecosystem. Now, to wrap up our 2025 newsletters, we are excited to share: 

  • Current end-of-the-year parts promotions through RepairLink
  • You’re Invited: The Future of Parts Ordering Webinar
  • Get Ready for AAPEX & SEMA
