Offered as a value-added service to eBay Motors’ customers, the Available Installer Network allows shoppers to select a TIA member business to perform service on their vehicles. TIA announced its affiliation with eBay Motors at last year’s SEMA Show.
There is no requirement to launch a Web site or even have a computer system in place. TIA will provide basic contact information to eBay Motors on the members’ behalf, including their business name, address and phone number. In addition, TIA will tell eBay Motors which markets the dealer serves and whether they employ TIA-Certified technicians.
When an eBay Motors customer has finished shopping, he or she can enter their zip code and select a business in their area to perform service on their vehicle. The TIA logo will signify that a business is a member of TIA, along with a separate identifier, in the event that a business has one or more certified technician(s).
