Goods and services purchased by motor dealers - LucyBC

Very early moments of an idea but can any of our dealer/trader members (or anyone else) tell me what services car dealers and/or those in the motor trade might purchase on a regular or irregular basis?

My list currently includes:

advertising
vehicles
vehicle checks
vehicle valuations
paint and dent repairs
mobile valeting services
mechanical repairs
MOTs
tyres
dealer warranties
trader insurance
tax advice
consumer legal advice

Is there anything I have missed?

Various insured products to sell on or give away in the deal:

Finance GAP and Retail Price Protection, Roadside Assistance/ Recovery, Alloy wheel refurbishment, Smart repairs, Tyre insurance and MOT insurance are the most widely used I guess.
