LiveFind wrecker parts and request quotes — inside Workshop Wrench
Workshop buyer searches Parts Exchange for a part, reviews listings from verified wreckers, and sends an RFQ — without leaving the Workshop Wrench platform.
Primary persona: Parts manager / service advisor
The problem
What breaks without this process
Workshops ring wreckers one-by-one; no price or condition comparison; purchased parts never attach cleanly to the RO.
Why it matters
Rationale — profit, risk, and shop floor truth
- 01
Consolidated search across pilot sellers beats ad-hoc phone calls and inbox chaos.
- 02
Condition grades (Used A/B/C) and ABR-verified seller badges make the price vs quality trade-off transparent.
- 03
RFQ-to-RO attachment keeps purchase, receipt, and GST invoice in one audit trail.
- 04
Local pilot scope is honest — not a national open marketplace claim.

Stage sequence
Step-by-step use case
Each stage lists the action, the business why, and the intended outcome. This is how we implement and test the product — not marketing fiction.
- 01
Open Parts Exchange
Action
Navigate to Parts Exchange from the parts purchasing tab.
Why this stage
Marketplace search loads — listings from pilot sellers visible. Local-pilot only — not a national open marketplace yet.
Surface: /purchasing or /partsOutcome: Marketplace search loads - 02
Search for the part
Action
Enter part number, OEM reference, or free-text description; filter by category or vehicle.
Why this stage
Flexible search matches the reality that part numbers are not always known.
Surface: Parts ExchangeOutcome: Matching listings with price, condition grade, and seller badge - 03
Compare seller listings
Action
Review condition grade (Used A/B/C), core charge, seller rating, and estimated turnaround.
Why this stage
Informed choice between price vs grade vs proximity. Seller ratings are pilot-phase only; core charge handling is Partial — not all sellers publish core policies.
Surface: Parts ExchangeOutcome: Best-fit listing identified - 04
Request quote or purchase
Action
Click Request Quote for negotiated parts; Add to Cart for fixed-price listings.
Why this stage
Seller notified; parts reserve is not triggered until quote is confirmed or PO raised.
Surface: Parts ExchangeOutcome: RFQ sent or cart item added - 05
Attach to active RO
Action
From the quote confirmation, link the purchased part to the open RO and purchase order.
Why this stage
Part appears in RO parts list; inventory updated on receipt; GST tax invoice from seller. RO attachment is Live+; automated GST invoice generation from seller is Partial.
Surface: RO detailOutcome: Part linked to RO; GST invoice generated on receipt
