Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE:ABG) Q3 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

Bret Jordan: Okay. And then one quick question on Parts and Service. When you think about supply chain problems on parts, I guess, is there anything that prevents you from using aftermarket parts for post warranty work? I mean you could get out and stock up at O’Reilly if you had to? Or do OE agreements prohibit you from doing that?

David Hult: So this is David. We do some aftermarket parts we generally try to stay away from it. We represent the manufacturers. We want to sell their parts. We believe that they’re the best quality parts in the market and they’re what should be put on our gas vehicles. But in certain circumstances to keep cars up and running and keep them on the road, we certainly do some business in aftermarket. This concludes our call today. We appreciate everyone’s participation, and we look forward to discussing our fourth quarter earnings down the road. Have a great day.

Operator: This concludes today’s conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and we thank you for your participation.
