Authorized Distributors
Right part. Right place. Right time. Right kind of innovation.

Authorized Distributors - FADs and ACDelco

Ford Authorized Distributors (FADs) and ACDelco distributors are invited to post their authorized parts inventory on D2DLink, the Internet-based OE replacement parts procurement tool used hundreds of thousands of times each day by thousands of Ford and General Motors dealerships across the U.S. With Motorcraft and ACDelco parts added to the parts assortment, dealerships can purchase needed parts on demand through D2DLink.

D2DLink for On-demand Parts Buying and Selling

Each time dealerships search the D2DLink inventory for needed parts, the 10 closest stocking locations appear in the search results, giving distributors even greater visibility to the dealership network of customers. Distributors can set customized text advertisements for special promotions and to attract new dealership customers. Additionally, dealerships can set FADs and ACDelco distributors as their "favorites", so when doing searches mid-day, the distributor appears at the top of the dealer's search results. Distributors have increased opportunities for sales, and can sell parts online using D2DLink's ecommerce features, and dealerships streamline their parts ordering processes.
