Group purchasing coordination

Buy like a chain. Stay independent.

Independent bodyshops pay more than the big groups for the same consumables — simply because they buy alone. Our buying group changes that. We bring shops together, aggregate the demand, and negotiate pricing none of you could reach on your own.

The problem

The big groups don't pay what you pay

National chains and franchise networks negotiate hard because they buy in volume. An independent shop ordering on its own — however well-run — simply can't command the same terms. Over a year, that gap in consumable pricing quietly eats into a margin you've earned.

It isn't that independents are doing anything wrong. They're just buying alone. And buying alone is the single biggest thing holding your purchasing back.

How it works

We coordinate the buying. You get the price.

Mayor sits in the middle — doing the aggregation, negotiation and logistics so member shops don't have to.

STEP 01

Shops join the network

Independent bodyshops come together under Mayor's coordination — no loss of ownership or identity.

STEP 02

We aggregate demand

Combined volume across the group becomes real negotiating weight with suppliers.

STEP 03

We negotiate pricing

Using long-standing manufacturer relationships, we secure group rates on the consumables you use daily.

STEP 04

You buy at group rates

Order as normal — you simply pay network pricing, with Mayor handling supplier coordination and shipping.

What you get

The upside of scale, none of the trade-offs

Why Mayor coordinates it

The relationships already exist

A buying group is only as strong as the person negotiating for it. Mayor Consultant International already sources consumables and equipment for bodyshops across the industry, with established manufacturer relationships and a proven supply chain behind them.

That existing network — the same one behind our full catalogue — is what makes the group pricing real rather than a promise. When you join, you're stepping into buying relationships that are already working.
