Quar-Pro

What Quar-Pro does

Quar-Pro is a network (regroupement) of independent auto recyclers operating across Quebec, Canada, functioning as a unified digital marketplace for used auto parts. The company was established as a cooperative-style grouping of regional recyclers, with its headquarters and contact center at 1500 Marie Victorin in St-Bruno, Quebec. Through the quarpro.com platform, customers can search an aggregated inventory of used auto parts across 90+ member recyclers by vehicle year (1950 through 2027), make, and model. Quar-Pro claims the largest inventory of used auto parts in Quebec, spanning members including Pièces d'autos Samson (Granby), Recycleur Duvernay (Laval), Recyclage Chaleurs (Bonaventure), Perreault pièces d'autos (Rouyn Noranda), Dumas pièces d'autos usagées (Cookshire), Pièces d'autos Fernand Bégin (St-Philibert), Centre de Recyclage St-Bruno, and Dumont Auto Recyclers (St-Gilles).

The platform is built on the ProgiCom digital inventory system, developed by Progi (the firm's web development partner), which enables real-time cross-network parts lookup. Fulfillment is decentralized: individual member recyclers act as warehouse and distribution nodes, providing 24-48 hour delivery across Quebec, including remote regions such as Gaspésie. All parts are described as inspected, quality-controlled, and warrantied under strict environmental recycling standards. Beyond recycled OEM parts, Quar-Pro's product surface includes new aftermarket parts, pre-owned and rebuilder vehicles for sale, and an end-of-life vehicle purchase service (MAF). The firm holds memberships in three Quebec industry associations — ARPAC, AMVOQ, and CCPQ — anchoring its credibility in the collision repair and used vehicle channels.

Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time sales of recycled OEM auto parts, one-time sales of new aftermarket parts, transactional purchase of end-of-life vehicles, and one-time sales of pre-owned/rebuilder vehicles. Pricing for parts and vehicles is quote-based; collision repair centers register free of charge to access the platform, gaining saved searches, carts, and volume discounts. The GTM motion combines a self-serve consumer-facing marketplace for individuals selling vehicles or buying parts with a B2B referral/affiliate motion via registered collision repair centers and insurance company referrals. No public revenue figures, funding, or investor backing are disclosed; the entity appears to operate as a private network without external PE/VC capital.

Direct peers

• Car-Part.com: Car-Part.com is the largest online marketplace for recycled auto parts in North America, connecting buyers to salvage yards through a search-based platform with vehicle year/make/model lookup. It is the closest functional equivalent to Quar-Pro's platform model, operating at much larger geographic scale across the U.S. and Canada.
• Bumper: Bumper is a UK-based digital wholesale marketplace aggregating recycled and aftermarket parts from a network of suppliers for collision repair centers. Similar platform business model to Quar-Pro, focused on European markets but adopting the same part-search and merchant-portal mechanic.
• Pull-A-Part: Pull-A-Part operates self-service used auto parts yards across the U.S. where customers pull parts directly from inventoried vehicles. Different retail format than Quar-Pro but operates in the same recycling/disassembly of end-of-life vehicles and sales of recovered parts to consumers and repair shops.
• U-Pull-It / U-Pick-Part: U-Pull-It runs self-service salvage yards primarily in eastern Canada and parts of the U.S., including Quebec-adjacent Ontario operations. Directly comparable to Quar-Pro's member yards in business format (self-pull or full-service used-parts sales) and competitive in the same vehicle-recycling regulatory environment.

Emerging players

• CarBrain: CarBrain is a digital platform that purchases end-of-life and damaged vehicles directly from consumers via online quotes with rapid payment. Overlaps with Quar-Pro's MAF (vehicle purchase) service in the consumer end-of-life vehicle acquisition flow, though CarBrain focuses on reselling to dismantlers rather than recycling in-house.

Regional players

• Copart: Copart operates the largest online salvage-vehicle auction platform in North America, primarily serving the U.S. with limited Canadian presence. While not a parts retailer, it sources end-of-life vehicles similar to Quar-Pro's MAF vehicle-purchase service and shares a customer overlap of vehicle rebuilders and dismantlers.
• PartSource (Canadian Tire): PartSource is the Canadian-Tire-owned specialty retailer of aftermarket automotive parts, serving Canadian DIY and professional installers through stores and online. Overlaps with Quar-Pro's new-aftermarket-parts offering within Quebec and competes for the same collision-shop and consumer wallet.

Others

• AutoRecycler.com: AutoRecycler.com is a trade media and listing service for the auto-recycling industry, providing market intelligence and used-parts inventory exposure to yards. An ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor, but addresses the same network of independent recyclers that Quar-Pro aggregates in Quebec.

Broad incumbents

• LKQ Corporation: LKQ is the dominant North American distributor of recycled and aftermarket auto parts, operating company-owned salvage and parts hubs across the U.S. and Canada. It competes with Quar-Pro as a broad incumbent offering overlapping used-parts supply with corporate scale, distribution infrastructure, and enterprise insurance relationships.
• Hollander Interchange (HollanderParts): Hollander operates a major recycled-parts interchange catalog and software platform used by salvage yards and dealers across North America. As a software/data provider to the auto-recycling industry, it is thematically aligned with Quar-Pro's ProgiCom inventory platform and could serve as either a peer or complementary technology layer.
