WISCO was organized in 1972 with the mission to save member dealers money through group purchases and to return any year-end earnings to the participating member. WISCO offers its dealer members the opportunity to purchase OEM parts, supplies, equipment, tires, batteries, oil, and other miscellaneous items and programs at the lowest possible prices. Currently 545 auto and truck dealers are members. Since its beginning, sales at wholesale prices have reached over 493 million dollars. In addition, patronage rebates based on member purchases have been over 15 million dollars. These facts demonstrate the effectiveness of the program in achieving its sole purpose -- to improve the dealer's bottom line. Dealers using the program have realized profits that would not otherwise have been available to them. The WISCO program is simple. There are no minimums to buy. Parts include AC-DELCO, Draw-Tite, Bendix, Weather Tech, and hundreds more. Equipment in the program includes Challenger, Hunter, Snap-On, Ammco, Coats, Corghi, Black Gold, OTC, Robinair, Pro-Cut, and other nationally known companies. Supplies such as 3M, Kimberly-Clark and Tork paper products, Wynn's, Petoskey Plastics, antifreeze, Pennzoil-Quaker State motor oil, solvent recycling programs, and other items by equally well known companies are also available. WISCO has programs in place with Barnes, Wurth, Kent, Crest, and other hardware/supplies companies to save its members money. ECP/Auto Armor has a program available for rust prevention, paint and fabric protection, and detailing. Shipping time is generally one to two days via UPS. Same day delivery is available on some items. Members receive product catalogs and updates. Wisco provides toll-free phone calls for questions, pricing, and ordering. The WISCO web site is www.wisco.com. The governing body of WISCO consists of dealers elected by the general membership to serve on the Board of Directors who in turn elect officers.
