Open catalogVINsearch gives automotive professionals in South Africa online access to 52+ official EPC catalogs from a single login. With around 12M vehicles in operation on the road and ~25,000 workshops, South Africa's right-hand-drive (RHD) repair trade depends on fast, accurate OEM identification across many brands at once.
The South Africa automotive market
South Africa sees about 530K new vehicles/year, and the best-selling marques are Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Ford, and Suzuki. A typical workshop or parts counter handles several of these in a single day — and needs the right catalog for each.
Local vehicles are built to local market standards and run in four-season conditions, so the correct part depends on the exact local-spec build. A multi-brand EPC that resolves each VIN removes the guesswork that drives parts returns.
How VINsearch fits South Africa workshops
One subscription replaces a shelf of separate brand tools:
- Decode any VIN to the exact factory build, whatever the marque
- Pull genuine OEM numbers with current supersessions
- Quote panels and assemblies from exploded diagrams
- Work in English or English, in the browser, on any device

EPC catalogs in South Africa — FAQ
Which car brands can I look up in South Africa?
All of them. VINsearch covers 52+ EPC catalogs — including Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and Ford — so you can identify parts for every major marque sold in South Africa from one account.
Is VINsearch suitable for small workshops in South Africa?
Yes. It is browser-based with no installation and a single flat subscription, which suits independent workshops and parts counters that cannot justify a separate dealer tool per brand.
Can I see prices in ZAR?
VINsearch focuses on parts identification (OEM numbers, diagrams, fitment). You and your supplier price those numbers in ZAR; the platform makes sure you are quoting the correct part in the first place.
