SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- This week,
eBay Motors continues to innovate its shopping experience by
introducing Virtual Tech and tire installations in the U.S. Both
services cater to shoppers who want to save time, seek expert
advice, and experience a higher standard of convenience.
Virtual Tech: Expert Parts Advice at the Perfect
Price
Virtual Tech enables buyers to shop and connect directly with
Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified technicians via an
add-on cost. The new service gives buyers expert advice on what to
purchase and how to install parts in order to repair or upgrade
their car or truck. Virtual Tech sessions can be purchased for
ten-minute ($19.95) or twenty-minute
($49.95) durations; and, for a
limited time, these sessions will be discounted to $14.95 and $44.95,
respectively.
"When shopping for parts and accessories, many of our buyers may
stumble across a question or need directions when it comes to the
installation process," said Todd
Madeiros, Vice President of Parts & Accessories at eBay.
"With our new Virtual Tech add-on, we're bridging the gap and
helping to connect shoppers with experienced professionals, while
also providing them with our massive selection of inventory."
Tire Installation: The Easiest Way to Buy and Install New
Tires
This week, eBay's tire installation services will available
to all U.S. shoppers. Shoppers who purchase tires on eBay can opt
to have them shipped to a local installation location at no
additional cost. With 9,000 installation locations across the U.S.
and tire inventory that spans across all major brands, eBay Motors
is redefining the automotive shopping experience.
"Every seven seconds, a wheel or tire part is sold on eBay
Motors in the U.S.," said Madeiros. "Now, with tire installation
services, shoppers have access to eBay's tire inventory, plus the
added convenience of expert local installation to fully complete
their automotive needs."
Here's how the easy-to-use tire installation service works:
- With My Garage and a convenient tire size finder, buyers
can take advantage of eBay Motors' customized fitment capabilities.
Shoppers may seamlessly browse a selection of tires that fit their
vehicle make and model.
- The buyer selects their preferred tires and chooses from a list
of trusted installers based on their preferred location and
price.
- Shortly after the tires are purchased, the buyer contacts the
desired tire shop to schedule an appointment for installation.
- Buyers simply drive up in their car. Their tires will be there
and ready for installation.
Tire installation services include mounting tires on rims, wheel
balancing, and installing new rubber valves. Powered by eBay's
add-on services, eBay's structured data initiative matches buyers
with tires that fit their vehicle, and service prices that reflect
installation for the number of tires purchased.
