Auto Body Distributing
From sandpaper and body filler to masking tape and paint, Auto Body Distributing Co. provides NJ-based body shops with the basics at a lower price than most competitors. Anything you need to run your shop on a daily basis can be found through Auto Body Distributing Co. Shop owners also get the best price on hard parts, since ABD provides members with a list of parts suppliers that have agreed to discount their product. We don't care if you are a one-man shop or a 30-man shop; you’ll get the same great price.
ABD’s 42-year history began in 1970, when nine body shop owners joined forces to drum up membership in their local association. Their determination, perseverance and cutting edge ideas of encouraging participation by becoming cooperative eventually led to an overwhelming response. Today, the ABD has become a force in the industry, with over 200 stockholders and annual sales from inventory exceeding $5.2 million. ABD represents over $20 million in hard parts purchases, and supplies stockholders with shop supplies at huge savings in addition to the best hard parts discounts.
How is ABD able to provide a service like this to its members? Because ABD buys so many supplies, we get a large discount. But instead of keeping the profit and selling the supplies at list price, only minimal markups are applied. Our prices are still cheaper than other supply distributors that sell their products at list price.

In addition to offering extended hours six days a week, Toyota of Morristown is able to give customers what they need when they need it thanks to Toyota’s famously high turn-around time. “We place our order by 4:00pm, and our parts are at the dealership that night,” Kowalak says. “Toyota leads the industry in parts distribution. It’s all about improving processes.”
The Toyota of Morristown parts department not only sells auto body parts, but mechanical parts as well. It has been a STAR (Support To Automotive Repair) dealer since 1988. What this means is that Toyota of Morristown does much more than just sell parts to repair shops. They provide STAR newsletters, parts catalogs, price sheets, signage, toll-free technical support, a technical video library, STAR parts cabinets, a parts stocking program and full-time sales representatives.
