Snap-on EPC online — parts catalog by VIN
Updated 2026-10-01
Hyundai, Kia and Genesis parts by VIN, online. Open Snap-on EPC in your browser, enter a VIN and read genuine OEM part numbers and exploded diagrams — no download, instant access.
What is Snap-on EPC?
Snap-on EPC is the dealer parts catalog for Hyundai, Kia and Genesis, published by Snap-on Business Solutions. The parts data behind it comes from Hyundai Mobis, the group’s parts company, which is why so many people know the catalog as “Mobis EPC”. It decodes each VIN to the exact build with genuine OEM numbers and exploded diagrams.
Hyundai, Kia and Genesis share platforms and many components, so one Snap-on EPC login serves all three. VIN search pins the exact engine and market build, which matters on fast-changing model years.

Snap-on EPC online vs download
Searches for a “Snap-on EPC download” usually end in frustration: installed copies are dealer-licensed, need a specific setup, and freeze their data on the install date. Online access removes all of that.
Snap-on EPC part numbers & VIN search
Hyundai Motor Group uses a recognisable numbering style — for example 86511-XXXXX (Hyundai/Kia 5-5 number (e.g. 86511-XXXXX)). Numbers supersede over time, so always confirm the current one against a live catalog. Enter a VIN and Snap-on EPC resolves the exact model, engine, trim and market, then shows only the parts that fit. Not sure of the build? Use the free VIN decoder first.
Access & pricing
One VINsearch subscription opens Snap-on EPC and every other catalog — the multi-brand reality of a real workshop, under a single login. Start with a $5 Day Pass, $50 a month, or $500 a year (about $1.37 a day). No per-search fees.
Reading a Hyundai Motor Group number
The numbers are five digits, a hyphen, then five more characters — 58101-2WA00. The first block names the part type and is constant across the whole group: 58101 is a front brake pad kit whether the badge on the car says Hyundai, Kia or Genesis. The second block carries a platform code and a variant index.
That structure gives a fast sanity check at the counter. If a supplier quotes a number whose first five digits do not match the part type you asked for, the conversation has gone wrong before any money moved — and you can confirm the shape against the house formats with the free OEM number lookup.
One catalog, three marques, one number
Hyundai, Kia and Genesis share platforms and components, and on shared parts they share the number outright. A part you already hold from a Kia job is frequently exactly what the Hyundai in the bay needs, and the catalog shows the number rather than the badge.
The VIN is what resolves which of the three you have: Hyundai builds commonly carry a KMH world manufacturer identifier and Kia builds a KNA, though the code follows the plant rather than the badge, so export builds differ.
Korean-market and export builds diverge
The same nameplate is specified differently for its home market and for export: emissions hardware, lighting, restraint systems and equipment packages all move with the destination. The group also renames aggressively — a European i30 and a North American Elantra GT are close relatives under different badges.
Working from the model name in this range is unusually unreliable. The build record the VIN produces already contains the market, which is why identification starts there.
