Unbelievable Pricing

Many times we are asked how we offer such unbelievable pricing.  There is a single answer with some complicated supporting issues.  We have been in the equipment business for over thirty years.  We have learned to do many things much better than our competitors.  We work daily to find ways to reduce cost and pass these savings on to you.

We start by working very closely with our partner manufacturers.  Many companies just find a company that makes equipment and buys off the shelf items.  When that company can no longer supply them they simply find another supplier.  We have worked with our partners for many years.  They are our partners in every sense of the word.  Our equipment is built to our specifications.  By insisting on this we keep warranty problems to an absolute minimum which saves you money.  Only National Auto Tools can offer you this equipment.  Other companies may say they have the same equipment as us.  They don't.  Our partners do not sell to any other United States distributors.

Freight is a major cost when transporting heavy equipment.  We not only consider the cost from one of our warehouses to you but from our overseas facility to the U.S.  We guarantee our shipper an amount of freight every month.  By doing this we get an extremely low rate to bring the product to our warehouses.  We also dictate how the equipment is loaded.  This allows us to reduce unloading time, again saving you money.

National Auto Tools has the absolute lowest freight rates available.  Compare our rates to any of our competitors and ours will be less.  (Some things we cannot control, like residential delivery fees.)  We do this through several steps.  Probably most important is an early pay discount.  We have negotiated with our carriers to pay them faster than normal terms allow.  In turn they have increased our discount amount.  Our extremely high volume of shipments also helps.  It is not unusual for us to fill 2-3 forty eight foot trailers each day.  No carrier is strong to all regions of the country.  By finding which carriers service which region best, we can lower our rates even more.

Volume, Volume, Volume.  We make larger commitments to our partners.  We give them a yearly volume and are obligated to accept that amount of product.  We can raise the volume but we cannot lower it.  This allows our partners to use us as their guaranteed cash flow source.  They are assured of a certain amount of dollars in sales every month.  Imagine how this would help a business.  In return we get the lowest possible pricing and the best possible service.

We own our products.  Many companies make this claim but few are being truthful.  Most equipment companies selling over the internet own nothing but a telephone.  They buy from a warehouse and re-sell to you.  They profit by marking the product up.  We own our entire inventory.  We order it, we pay for it, and we freight it to our warehouses.  If a company sells from a common warehouse they are not a direct source.  They must pay the importer and pay the warehouse.  This costs you money.  We sell direct to you with no middleman mark up.  This saves you a tremendous amount of money.  Remember, many companies claim to do this, but very few actually do.

During the summer months, equipment prices were going up weekly.  The higher steel prices and soaring fuel cost were forcing all of us to raise our prices.  One company even states on their website that this is why they were raising prices.  Steel has dropped 40% and gas has plummeted.  We lowered our prices, why has no one else?  They just can't compete with us.

National Auto Tools makes a fair profit, but we do not take advantage of you.  We pass all the savings we can on to you.  When a company fails to work hard at all aspects of business it cannot offer the lowest prices.  We cover all the bases and can offer you the best price on top quality products.
