It isn't easy for an outdoor power equipment shop in Michigan these days.
Good thing Utica-based Weingartz decided to establish Weingartzparts.com.
The parts Web site has seen a "tremendous" response in its few months of operation, company officials say. The site makes Weingartz's warehouse inventory of more than 55,000 lawn mower and snowblower replacement parts available to do-it-yourselfers around the globe.
The site is searchable by both model number and part type to help users find parts quickly and efficiently.
The site offers same day shipping provided orders are placed by 4 p.m. Eastern time as well as next day delivery.
Family-owned and operated since 1945, Weingartz backs their commitment to service with a huge, $2.5-million in-stock inventory for lawnmowers, snowthrowers and other outdoor power equipment from all major brands including Honda, Toro, John Deere, Cub Cadet, Stihl and Exmark.
Since the site launched, Weingartz has seen a steady increase in usage and has reported orders from as far away as Hawaii. Customers have found the site to be an excellent complement to the Weingartz.com retail site, which offers expert advice as well as information about sales and servicing of residential and professional equipment. Both web sites were designed and built by Skidmore, a creative services studio in Royal Oak.
