Can I have an Aftermarket Websites® site without being an AAM member reseller?
Absolutely! We welcome all brick-and-mortar resellers that have a physical store location to join the platform. You will get more out of the service if you are purchasing from one of our wholesale distributors, and we can help you get set up with one of them if you’d like to establish an account.
Can I sign up with Aftermarket Websites® if I don’t have a physical storefront?
At the core of the Aftermarket Websites® service is the desire to help brick-and-mortar shops succeed in their local markets. Though our sites have a shopping car feature, our mission is to aid local shops to drive customers to their stores; therefore, we serve only those automotive aftermarket businesses that maintain a physical, brick-and-mortar storefront.
