Team PRP

What Team PRP does

Team PRP is a North American association and operating network of 285 independent premium auto recyclers offering recycled OEM parts for automobiles, trucks, and SUVs. The network's central coordination entity is headquartered in Brunswick, United States, and runs on technology provided by URG (u-r-g.com). Member yards collectively hold approximately 30 million parts in inventory and ship nationally under a standardized ISO 9000 quality assurance program, with a 24-hour in-stock shipping commitment and nationwide delivery infrastructure.

The core commercial platform is a shared inventory and parts-search system accessible to mechanical repair shops, collision centers, insurance estimators, and individual vehicle owners via the autopartsearch.com portal. Pricing is unit-based and varies by part type, mileage band, and warranty tier, with advertised savings of up to 75% versus new OEM parts; warranty options range from 30-day to lifetime, including parts-and-labor coverage. Supplementary products include downloadable Vehicle Cut Sheets for damage documentation, a formal Shipping & Operations Services program covering freight claims, returns, and component-specific handling, and a Member Roster & Location Finder. The network also supports a higher-value engine remanufacturing vertical (135 stores, ~15 million parts) with ISO-9002/QS-9000/ISO-14000 certified processes.

Revenue is generated through transactional parts sales across the member network under a pay-as-you-go commercial model, with no disclosed central-organization revenue or funding history. The member base is fragmented across B2B repair professionals and B2C consumers, and the organization appears to function as a standards body, marketing coordinator, and shared logistics operator for its independently owned member yards rather than as a vertically integrated retailer. Recent activity has focused on expanding the Transportation Network of logistics carriers and on onboarding additional member yards in 2022.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• LKQ Corporation: The largest North American provider of alternative and recycled parts, including a nationwide wholesale network of salvage and recycled operations. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the recycled OEM parts space, with similar customer base (collision repair, mechanical repair) but greater scale and capital resources.
• Copart: A leading online salvage vehicle auction company with a global footprint. Comparable as an upstream source of end-of-life vehicles that feed the recycled parts supply chain, and adjacent in serving insurance and collision industry customers.
• eBay Motors: Large online marketplace for used vehicles, parts, and accessories. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the secondary auto parts market; competes with Team PRP in serving individual consumers seeking used/recycled parts, though at a much larger scale and broader category.
• IAA (Insurance Auto Auctions): A major salvage auction company (owned by RB Global) that sells total-loss and recovered vehicles to dismantlers and recyclers. Comparable as a key supply-side upstream player feeding the recycled auto parts pipeline that Team PRP's member yards depend on.

Direct peers

• Car-Part.com: Operates the largest online used auto parts marketplace in North America, including salvage yards and recycled parts inventory search. Directly comparable to Team PRP's autopartsearch.com portal and member-based network model serving mechanical repairers, collision centers, and consumers.
• Pull-A-Part: Operates a chain of self-service salvage yards across the US selling used auto parts to consumers and mechanics. Comparable as a competing end-of-life vehicle parts recovery and resale business, though operating via a self-service retail model rather than Team PRP's member-network approach.
• Holman Parts: Distributes remanufactured and recycled OEM vehicle parts to automotive repair professionals. Comparable as a competing distributor of recycled and remanufactured parts serving the same mechanical repair and collision center customer base as Team PRP.

Emerging players

• FindParts: Online search engine that aggregates used auto parts inventory from multiple recyclers and dealers. Comparable as a digital-first emerging competitor in the recycled parts discovery layer, with overlapping customer base but a different (no-network) operating model.

Others

• Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA): The US trade association for the automotive recycling industry. Comparable as an industry-level peer and ecosystem organization supporting the same pool of independent auto recyclers that constitute Team PRP's member network.

Regional players

• GreenParts: European remanufactured and recycled parts platform serving the automotive aftermarket. Comparable as a regional player in the same sustainable/recycled parts value proposition, providing a geographic precedent for the model Team PRP operates in North America.
