While RevolutionParts dealers excelled across the board, some brands really stood out in Cyber Weekend 2024:
The standout parts this year were high-value, high-demand items, showing that consumers are increasingly comfortable purchasing big-ticket items online. Some of the top-selling parts include:

"If you’re not interested in growing your business, then don’t bother (selling parts online). But if you are, this is a great way to do it. You can start as small as you want and grow at your own pace."
– Bill Green, Parts Manager at Stillwell Ford
The significant demand for expensive items like axle assemblies, catalytic converters, and alloy wheels reveals that consumers are more than willing to spend on parts through online channels.
