Sourcing car and garage products that are not in the catalogue
Saw a car accessory or a garage tool on a marketplace or at a trade fair, and want it cheaper, better or under your own brand? We work with manufacturers behind products like it, compare them and run the order for you.
This is also how we handle products that are not in our catalogue: a specific socket set, a workshop trolley, a bigger compressor, a different dash cam housing. Send a photo, link or drawing. Spare parts, model-specific parts, car chemicals and fuel-handling equipment are outside our scope.
What sourcing includes
Finding manufacturers
We look beyond the first page of B2B platforms and contact manufacturers, not only trading companies.
Checking the factory
Business licence, export history, production capacity and the CE declarations and test reports it can show, checked before we order.
Comparing quotes
Quotes on the same specification, including packaging, carton size, MOQ and lead time, compared like for like.
Samples
Samples from shortlisted factories, consolidated and sent to you in one parcel.
Negotiation
Price, payment terms, packaging and quality standards negotiated directly with the factory.
Order management
Contract, production follow-up, inspection and handover to logistics.

Sourcing agent or EU importer?
Typical sourcing agent
Finds suppliers and charges a commission, but you remain the importer: you pay the factory, arrange freight and customs, and carry the EU duties for CE, WEEE and batteries.
GaragiQ
Finds suppliers and also buys the goods, imports them into the EU, prepares the GPSR labels and invoices you as an EU company. One partner, one price.
Frequently asked questions
How much does sourcing cost?
If you order through us, sourcing is included in the product price. For research-only projects without an order, we agree a fixed fee in advance.
Are you a car accessories manufacturer in Europe?
No. We are an EU importer based in Poland. We work with manufacturers factory-direct, check them before ordering and take on the importer's duties in the EU.
Will you tell me the factory name?
For private label projects we work under our own contracts with the factories. If you need direct factory contact, we can agree a sourcing-fee model instead.
What if no factory meets my target price?
We tell you and show what is possible at your price, for example with a different material, battery capacity or quantity.
Can you source car lifts or heavy workshop equipment?
Yes, but only with the manufacturer's machinery declaration and test documents for the exact model, and we check them first. Installation and inspection are done by a qualified installer; see the workshop fit-out page.
