Frequently asked questions
What automotive parts packaging services does DIY Group provide?
We handle protective packaging, kitting and assembly, warehousing, and distribution for automotive components. That covers corrugated, foam, VCI, and anti-static protection, multi-part kits, secure storage, and outbound fulfillment, all under one roof.
What is automotive parts kitting, and why does it matter?
Kitting groups the parts needed for a job into a single ready-to-use set. For OEM lines it feeds sequenced, line-side supply that keeps assembly moving. For aftermarket programs it turns loose components into complete service kits that ship faster and cut errors.
How do you protect automotive parts from damage and corrosion in transit?
We match each component to the right materials, using VCI and anti-static packaging for metal and electronic parts and foam or corrugated inserts for fragile or high-finish items, so parts arrive complete and ready to use.
Do you support both OEM production parts and aftermarket service parts?
Yes. We run just-in-time, line-side kitting and sequencing for OEM and Tier suppliers, and repackaging, relabeling, and retail-ready fulfillment for aftermarket and service-parts brands.
Where are you located, and how quickly can you scale a program?
Our facilities sit in Muncie, Indiana, about 40 minutes from Indianapolis, with more than 500,000 square feet that reaches most of the US population quickly. Reach out and we will scope capacity and timing for your program.
