Questions about buying factory-direct car accessories

Answers to the questions car accessory shops, garages, detailers and online sellers ask us most. If yours is missing, write to us.

Orders, prices and minimums

Do you sell to private customers?

No. GaragiQ is a B2B importer. We sell to accessory and auto parts shops, garages, tyre shops, detailing studios, online sellers, brands, retail chains, fleets, promotional agencies and distributors with a company and VAT number.

What is the minimum order?

Catalogue products can be ordered from the factory minimum shown on each product page, from one unit for lifts and compressors to 1000 pieces for cloths and paper mats. Products with your logo or custom packaging start from about 300 pieces per model. Accessories and garage tools can be combined in one consolidated shipment.

How do I get prices?

Each product page shows an indicative net “from” price. For delivered prices, send your product list, links or the catalogue items you are interested in. You receive a written offer within 2 working days.

Can I order samples?

Yes. Samples are charged at cost and credited against your order. They reach the EU in 7–14 days. Lifts and large compressors are usually judged from documents and photos rather than samples.

What payment terms do you offer?

Usually a 30–50 % deposit and the balance before shipment. Deferred terms are possible for repeat clients.

When should I order for the season?

As a working guide: the winter range (inflators, chargers, seat covers, mats, work lights) by June–August, the spring and summer range by February–March, Christmas gifts by August–September. Garages and tyre shops should plan jacks, stands and impact wrenches before the tyre change in March–April and October–November. Factory holidays in late January–February stop production for 3–5 weeks.

Private label and compliance

What is the minimum for private label?

From about 300 pieces per model, depending on the product and branding method. Private label for spring must be ordered by mid-December; after that we can offer stock items only.

Which car accessories need CE marking?

Electrical and electronic products do: EMC and RoHS for all of them, the Radio Equipment Directive for anything with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, 4G, FM or wireless charging, and the Low Voltage Directive only for mains-powered products. Seat covers, mats and organisers do not carry CE but need GPSR labelling. This is our reading rather than legal advice.

Are your dash cams and head units E-marked?

Not by default. Installers and fleets sometimes ask for E-marking under UNECE Regulation No 10 for devices connected to the vehicle's electrical system. We request the manufacturer's certificate where it exists and tell you if it does not.

Do jacks and lifts come with documents?

Yes. They are sold only with the manufacturer's declaration and test documents; EN 1494 and EN 1493 are the references we use. Lifts must be installed and inspected by a qualified installer, and we do not install them.

Do you inspect orders?

Yes. We check the factory before ordering and inspect the goods before shipment. You get a report with photos.

Shipping, customs and VAT

How long does shipping take?

Rail or sea 25–45 days to Poland, air 7–12 days. Total from order to delivery is typically 8–12 weeks.

Can lithium-battery products be shipped?

Yes, under dangerous-goods rules, with the manufacturer's UN38.3 test summary. This affects air freight in particular, so cordless inflators, power tools and dash cams usually go by rail or sea.

How are heavy items delivered?

Lifts, workshop compressors, tool cabinets and workbenches ship on pallets and are quoted delivered. Check access and unloading at your site before delivery.

Do I have to clear customs?

No. We import the goods into the EU and deliver them to you cleared.

Which VAT do I pay?

EU businesses outside Poland receive invoices with reverse charge; Polish companies are invoiced with Polish VAT.

Do you deliver outside the EU?

Yes, to the UK, Switzerland and Norway. Local rules differ, so we check documents for those markets separately.
