The Automotive Body Parts Association (ABPA), with its headquarters in Houston, Texas, is an association of more than 150 members encompassing the manufacture, distribution, recycling and sales of independently produced aftermarket collision replacement parts.
Our membership is responsible for the distribution of more than 75 percent of independently produced aftermarket body parts sold to the collision repair industry.
ABPA members are committed to supporting the multifaceted collision repair industry by delivering quality products and streamlining the parts delivery system to repair facilities.
To that end, ABPA has instituted PARTSLINK, a universal parts numbering system for the identification of aftermarket collision replacement parts.
Currently PARTSLINK is utilized by the vast majority of distributors and, most importantly, insurance companies which specify PARTSLINK numbers to identify collision replacement parts to be used for repair. In addition, the manufacturers of the collision replacement parts require PARTSLINK so that their parts can be more readily identified as a replacement for a specific make, model and year of vehicle.
