Dealerships should conduct comprehensive parts and accessories inventory audits quarterly, with cycle counts for high-turnover items performed more frequently, such as weekly or monthly.

This checklist helps ensure parts availability, reduces stockouts, improves inventory turnover, and enhances overall parts department efficiency, leading to better customer service and increased profitability.
