Common Parts to Stock

[loggerjim]

Hey All

I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on which parts are used most often for repairs. I plan to keep some in stock in my truck and in my parts area (cabinet in my garage). I'm starting out on a bit of a shoestring budget, so I would like to keep the dollar amount of inventory to about $1000. Also, do any of the parts websites offer contractor pricing?

Thanks in advance for any advice

This topic maybe helpful for what parts to stock for the direct drive washer.

Common Repair Parts for the Whirlpool Top Load Direct Drive Washer.

Also, do any of the parts websites offer contractor pricing?

What part of the country do you live in?

With a sales tax number you should be able to get set up with a local parts distributor so you can buy at whole sale prices.

Hey thanks for the link, WPT.  I live in Washington state and in my particular area there are very few service techs. It's a rural are, so I know that I'm gonna be doing some windshield time, but I really believe that I can make a go of this.

Another question: What percentage of your repairs are laundry vs refrigeration vs cooking? I'm guessing that laundry is most common due to the amount of moving parts.
