Get workshop mechanics and car channels to show your part in use.

What influencer marketing means

Influencer marketing means paying or partnering with local personalities and creators to talk about your business to their own audience. It works well where trust is built by a familiar face rather than an advert. GullySales finds creators whose audience matches your buyers and manages the brief and payment terms.

For auto parts manufacturers

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A mechanic's channel outranks a brand advertisement for trust”

    A workshop owner explaining why a clutch plate performs well is trusted more than the same claim made by the manufacturer.

  • “Regional language channels reach the actual buyer”

    Many workshop owners follow mechanic channels in their own language, which a national campaign in English never reaches.

  • “The collaboration needs a real part in a real repair”

    A genuine installation video, not a scripted endorsement, earns comments asking where to buy the part.

What we do

What we deliver for auto parts manufacturers.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Shortlist of mechanic and workshop channels

    A list of regional mechanic and car modification channels whose audience matches your part category, checked for genuine engagement.

    Result: Your part gets shown to workshop owners who already trust the channel.

  2. Collaboration brief for a real installation

    A brief for a genuine fitting or repair video using your part, written to avoid a scripted endorsement viewers distrust.

    Result: Viewers see the part working in a real repair, not a paid line.

  3. Regional language version of the collaboration

    The same collaboration run with a channel in the workshop owner's own language, matched to your priority regions.

    Result: A workshop owner understands the part in their own language without translation.

  4. Tracked contact number for the campaign

    A dedicated phone number or WhatsApp link used only in the collaboration, so enquiries from it are counted separately.

    Result: You know exactly how many enquiries the collaboration brought in.

  5. Review of enquiries against the collaboration

    A report matching enquiries mentioning the video or the tracked number against your baseline enquiry volume.

    Result: You can judge whether the channel is worth a second collaboration.

How the result is measured

  • Reach per creator
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries traced to a creator

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Who to work with

Work with the channel a workshop owner watches before buying a part.

Mechanic and garage channels
Pick the YouTube channels where a mechanic opens an engine or suspension and names the part used. Watch for channels in the language of the workshops you supply, such as Hindi, Tamil or Marathi.
The brand and fitment lines
Give the creator the part number, the vehicle models it fits and a one-line difference from the part it replaces. Ask them to read the part number aloud and show it on camera.
Claims the creator may make
Allow only what your own test report or drawing supports, for example material, fitment and finish. Strike words like 'lasts longer' unless you have a test to point to.
Distributor counter voices
Your distributor or a busy spare-parts counter in a mandi can recommend the part on video, too. Ask them to say which vehicle it suits and what to check at fitting.
Disclosure of a paid fitting
Ask the creator to say aloud that the part was supplied or paid for, and to write it in the description. Check the platform's current rules on paid promotion.
Who not to use
Skip car review and ride channels whose viewers are owners, not workshops. They watch for the vehicle and rarely buy a spare in bulk.

Who it is for

This is written for these auto parts manufacturers.

  • Component manufacturers supplying OEMs
  • Aftermarket spare parts manufacturers
  • Export-focused parts manufacturers
  • Tier 2 and Tier 3 component suppliers
  • Two-wheeler parts manufacturers
  • Commercial vehicle parts manufacturers
  • Casting and forging units supplying parts
  • Manufacturers with an in-house aftermarket brand

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You cannot supply parts for a real installation video, and a scripted endorsement would be spotted by mechanics who watch these channels.
  • You have no one to take the calls the video would bring, so a workshop owner who asks where to buy would reach nobody.

How it works

How the influencer marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Define who needs to see it

    We settle the buyer, the city and the language first. That decides which creators are worth approaching at all.

  2. 2

    Audit the creators

    We ask for audience screenshots from the creator's own account, read the comments, and look at earlier sponsored posts to see how the audience reacted.

  3. 3

    Agree terms and brief

    Fee, instalments, dates, exclusivity and paid-media rights go into one written agreement before any filming. The brief carries facts and limits, not a script.

  4. 4

    Review the draft

    We check prices, claims and disclosure on the draft. Edits are about accuracy, not about changing the creator's style.

  5. 5

    Publish and trace

    Posts go live on the agreed dates. Enquiries are matched to each creator's code or link and reported against the fee paid, in the format agreed in writing.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Which channels should we approach first?
Regional mechanic and workshop channels whose viewers own the vehicles your part fits. A two-wheeler parts maker needs a Tamil or Hindi bike-repair channel, not a car review show. Comments asking where to buy a part are a better sign than subscriber count.
How is success measured?
By enquiries and dealer orders that trace back to the video. Each collaboration gets its own WhatsApp number or code, so a mechanic who calls after watching is counted. Views are reported, but they are not the result.
Will a mechanic channel say something wrong about our part?
It can happen, which is why the brief covers the correct fitting method and the vehicles the part fits. We review the cut before it goes live. The mechanic's opinion stays their own, because a scripted review is exactly what viewers tune out.
Can I reuse the video on my distributor WhatsApp group and catalogue?
Yes, if the agreement says so. Write down where you may post it, for how long and whether the channel keeps the original. Ask for the raw clip of the fitting too, because a distributor will often use a short cut with your part number on screen.
How do I check a channel's views are genuine?
Compare views with comments and with the number of subscribers who watch regularly. Genuine mechanic channels draw questions about fitment and price in the comments. Ask for a screenshot of the audience's location and ask a few distributors whether they know the channel.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
