JoinsAuto Revamps Service, Introduces 'Parts Car Search'

## Joins Auto Introduces 'Parts Vehicle Search' Feature… Signals Innovation in Used Parts Supply Mobile scrap car auction platform Joins Auto is bringing a new wave to the used car parts market. With a service renewal, it is boldly introducing the innovative 'Parts Vehicle Search' feature, expected to solve the long-standing challenge of parts procurement. Until now, consumers looking for used car parts have faced considerable difficulties. The information search process was cumbersome and inefficient, requiring them to individually contact scrap yards or retailers nationwide to find necessary parts, or to rely on limited club transactions. This led to not only wasted time but also significant inconvenience in failing to acquire appropriate parts when needed. The 'Parts Vehicle Search' newly introduced by Joins Auto offers a clear solution to these problems. It is an innovative system that integrates real-time inventory information of vehicles for parts held by scrap yards nationwide, based on scrap car auction data, instantly connecting them with buyers. Consumers can now easily check and purchase parts vehicles arriving at scrap yards across the country simply by registering their required vehicle information on the Joins Auto platform. This service provides unparalleled convenience to consumers. It is expected to alleviate the inconvenience of the parts procurement process by enabling quick and transparent acquisition of desired parts. Simultaneously, it brings positive changes to the scrap car industry. By allowing efficient processing of inventory without separate marketing costs or complex procedures, it fosters new revenue generation and increased operational efficiency. Beyond simple transaction convenience, the 'Parts Vehicle Search' feature is expected to play a crucial role in boosting the domestic recycling rate of used parts. By improving the current low parts recycling rate, which remains below 20%, it is anticipated to contribute to realizing environmental values by promoting resource circulation and reducing carbon emissions. This will be an important step towards a sustainable society. A Joins Auto official stated, "We plan to progressively expand detailed search functions by vehicle and by part using big data," adding, "We will focus all our capabilities on enhancing the transparency of the used parts transaction market and maximizing user convenience." The ambition is to lead the digital transformation of the scrap parts market and create new value.
