TradoParts works with independent garages, small fleet operators, and rural vehicle owners across South Africa. We provide spare parts supply chain advice, maintenance education, and aftermarket sourcing strategies — no fluff, just practical guidance for real-world conditions.
Our approach is grounded in local market realities: long distances to dealerships, limited access to verified parts, and vehicles that clock high mileage on tough roads. We focus on what actually works — from verifying part authenticity to preventative maintenance schedules that extend engine life beyond 200,000 km.
From a small consultancy to a recognised voice in spare parts logistics and vehicle education across South Africa.
TradoParts was established to address the gap in aftermarket parts verification for small fleet operators in Gauteng. The first year brought three advisory contracts focused on supplier audits and inventory planning.
Launched the first preventative maintenance workshops for high-mileage vehicle owners. The programme reached over 200 participants in the Eastern Cape and Limpopo, reducing unscheduled downtime for local transport businesses.
Established a network of 15 independent advisors covering all nine provinces. The consultancy has since supported over 80 workshops with supply chain mapping, counterfeit detection, and parts sourcing strategies.
Key results: 80+ workshops supported, 200+ trained operators, 9 provinces covered.
