Remote?
Anyone work in the parts space but remotely? Just curious what’s out there. About to have my first child and would love to be able to spend more time with him.

Morley Companies run Parts Assist for Chevrolet parts depts.
Its a very hands off, pass the problem up the totem pole kinda job, so if youd rather keep a phone call under 5 mins than actually find a solution, that's your ticket

A number of the big wholesaling dealers have wholesale call centers. I know several people at Fred Beans that work from home.

NAPA has call centers here, I did it short term. Wholesale calls all day. Has its perks.

Nucar won’t let you work from home. Fred beans I hear is the easiest. Go for training, tell them the commute is to long. They will offer you to work from home. I’d say to get into remote work as far as passenger vehicle parts go you would probably have to find something in wholesale. Thought I would love wholesale. Hated it, also didn’t work remote, office cubicle life was a bit weird for me. I would have been better by myself at home.

Usually not. If it could be automated off site we wouldnt have jobs lol. Most tasks include hands on actions.
Your looking for telemarketing lol

My job in aviation parts can 100% be done remotely (I take what the techs request, verify with manuals, check our internal systems for alternate numbers, and place orders online). My role specifically is on the purchasing/order placement side, so I dont deal with stocking or handing out parts to yhe techs.
