I'm a mechanic; why do I choose Auto Partner in Romania?
If you are a mechanic, you have one or two reasons to buy from Auto Partner. It's hard to collaborate with Auto Partner because every competitor in Romania has local warehouses and they deliver in 30 minutes to one hour for any product. If you are a mechanic, you have one or two reasons. The first reason is the price; it's very good, and you don't have any other option and you need to wait. The other reason is that local warehouses in the town have a delivery schedule from 8:00 AM to 3:00 or 4:00 PM. They deliver in the local area, but the local warehouses are not so big and they don't have all the products. Every competitor needs to deliver next day from the central warehouses, and this is the reason mechanics order from Auto Partner; the moment when everyone needs delivery the next day.

What would be the difference between VAT tax for Inter Cars and Autonet versus Auto Partner?
The local entity invoices directly with the VAT. To give you an example, a product costs €100. Autonet or Inter Cars invoices you directly with €121, and you need to pay this right now, one to one today. The same product at Auto Partner is possible to cost €90 or €95 plus VAT. But today you get the invoice with €95.

How huge are we talking?
Three or four times. If we talk specifically about Auto Partner, I don't know what they sell in Iași at this moment, but I can suppose they sell maybe €20,000 to €30,000 every month. Let's say they sell €20,000 to €30,000 every month today. If they open a warehouse in Iași, the minimum potential is 10 times this amount.
