Direct Line, also known as “LKQ” (Like Kind Quality) automotive search
engine was founded and established by an Auto Recycler in 1999, originally called
Hi-Teknet as a prototype communication tool between ARP’s (Auto Recycling
Professionals). In 2000, Direct Line evolved and advanced into the perfect tool for the
Auto Recycling Industry. In 2003, Direct Line introduced the first digital Hot Line.
After five years of planning and engineering, Direct Line launched the invoicing and
inventory system. We didn’t stop there; in 2012 the Direct Line team redesigned the
entire system from ground up and launched a new UI (User interface) dashboard Server
based technology to be more efficient and capable of being used on any platform. In the
same year we launched world’s first smart phone apps on both platforms Android and
Apple. Direct Line is constantly evolving, bringing new technologies and tools necessary
for Auto Recycling Partners to succeed in their business by utilizing innovative and
intelligent tools of the Direct Line system. But, we didn’t stop there either! We
launched the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) decoding and inventory system via
mobile devices. We are in the process of integrating a delivery system by mobile
tablets, ”HQRFID” tracking, real time status of in-transit parts and an on screen
signature invoicing system with our own custom built Mobile Exchange Protocol “MEP”.
With the release of all these new technologies, Direct Line has evolved into a new, more
powerful tool for the automotive community around the world. We are becoming the social
media of automotive! Soon you will be able to use Direct Line for anything automotive,
from finding an honest mechanic to solving a “DIY” problem in real time!
Direct Line is not just an ordinary “DLA” parts locating system, but a one stop source
for anything auto….MOTIVE. What’s your auto…..MOTIVE? We have it all here! Buying,
selling, learning, communicating, ''Do it Yourself'' or help a community member with
their auto…..MOTIVE.
