Find body parts for your repair
Finding a door, bumper or headlight is one thing. Finding the right part for the exact vehicle variant is another. Ottroo is the guide to parts at fellow businesses in your region, followed by dismantlers and specialist suppliers. The launch is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.
In short
For body parts, vehicle specification, part number and condition are far more critical than a simple description. Ottroo helps body shops and collision repairers find supply from fellow businesses in their region, followed by dismantlers and specialist suppliers, local first. Buyer and seller verify suitability and make arrangements directly. The launch is planned for Q4 2026.
Why a body part must fit precisely
Two bumpers for the exact same model can differ due to production year, facelift, trim level or sensor cut-outs. Exact application matters just as much for headlights, doors and other body parts. An OEM number helps narrow the search, but verifying the vehicle specification against the seller's details remains essential.
Meanwhile, usable body parts often sit idle at a garage, body shop or dismantler. Ottroo makes that inventory discoverable for businesses looking for that exact component.
What Ottroo brings together
Ottroo is not a webshop with its own stock. With a single search query, you find inventory from fellow businesses in your region, followed by dismantlers and specialist suppliers. The search begins locally and widens only when necessary. Ottroo never owns any parts; the sale, delivery arrangements and any warranty terms remain strictly between buyer and seller.
Which body parts can you prepare or search for?
Body panels
Bonnets, tailgates, doors and wings. Verify trim specification, any damage and the colour code where applicable.
Bumpers and grilles
Front and rear bumpers, grilles and bumper reinforcers. Pay attention to sensor cut-outs, mounting brackets and trim level variations.
Lighting and mirrors
Headlights, rear lights and mirrors. Check lighting technology, connectors and the correct side or configuration.
Glass and trim
Windows, rubber seals and mouldings. Verify compatibility, dimensions and condition with the supplier.
These are representative examples, not a live inventory list or a guarantee that all variants will be available at launch.
Searching locally for bulky parts
A door or bonnet requires extra care with packaging and logistics. A nearby supplier makes collection straightforward and keeps transport to a minimum. For this reason, proximity sits at the heart of Ottroo's planned search framework. Collection and delivery options are agreed directly with the seller.
Used, remanufactured or new: what should you check?
| Type | What does it mean? | What do you check? |
|---|---|---|
| Used or reused | A part that has been used previously and is offered again. | Vehicle application, damage, mounting points, and colour code for painted parts. |
| Remanufactured or refurbished | A part that has been repaired or overhauled; specific work carried out varies by supplier. | What repairs and tests were conducted, and which warranty terms apply. |
| New | An unused original or aftermarket component. | Correct application, brand or manufacturer, and the supplier's terms. |

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find body parts for collision repair?
Start with fellow businesses in your region, followed by dismantlers and specialist suppliers. Ottroo brings these sources together into a single searchable directory for trade professionals, prioritising local suppliers first. The public search tool is not yet live; launch is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
How do I check if a body part fits?
Check the OEM or part number alongside the make, model, year of manufacture, and specification. Also pay attention to features such as sensor cut-outs, connectors, and mounting points. Confirm the application with the supplier; a matching number alone offers no absolute guarantee of fitment.
What should I look out for with a used bumper, door or headlight?
Request clear photographs and an accurate description of condition. Check for damage, mounting points and correct variant details. For painted parts, the paint code helps, but slight colour variations can still occur. Agree on delivery, collection and any warranty coverage directly with the seller.
Does Ottroo sell body parts directly?
No. Ottroo is the guide connecting trade buyers and sellers and never owns any inventory. Buyer and seller directly agree on price, payment, collection or delivery, and any warranty terms.
