Products and Services

Diversified Automotive purchases a vast array of goods and services. Some of these items include:

Supplier Registration

The Supplier Diversity Coordinator is your advocate for doing business with Diversified Automotive. The coordinator will match your company to the appropriate purchasing professional(s). In addition, the coordinator will work externally with minority and women-development organizations and other groups chartered to assist diverse suppliers. If needed, the coordinator can offer references and contacts to help with your business development.

Diversified Automotive Supplier Diversity team is committed to being an effective conduit for diverse suppliers. There is no guarantee that your business will have an opportunity to bid on providing products and/or services; however, you must first register your company with Diversified Automotive to be afforded an opportunity.
