EPC Catalogs for Independent Workshops
Multi-make workshops need to identify parts across many brands in one busy day. VINsearch puts its EPC catalogs behind one login, so your technicians can check the listed brands without switching dealer tools.
The problem we solve
- Wrong-part returns eating your margin
- A different tool (and login) per brand
- Guesswork on engine and gearbox codes
- Desktop software to install on every PC
What you get
Vehicle data by VIN
Check the build and model coverage before you order — no more "looks close enough".
Covered brands, one login
Stop juggling dealer portals. All 53 catalogs in a single subscription.
Manufacturer supersessions
See the current replacement number automatically, even on older vehicles.
Browser-based
Works on the shop PC, a tablet at the ramp, or your phone. Nothing to install.
How it fits the workshop day
A mixed-make shop sees a Golf, a Corolla, a Sportage and a Transit in the same morning. With a dealer tool per brand, that means four logins, four interfaces and four chances to grab the wrong one. One platform across 53 catalogs collapses that into a single habit: decode the VIN, open the assembly, read the genuine number.
Because it runs in the browser, the technician can open the diagram on a tablet at the ramp. Compare the listed position with the component and check engine, gearbox, equipment and application notes before ordering.
Where it pays for itself
A wrong brake disc or an overlooked supersession can mean a return, another delivery and lost workshop time. Check the reference before ordering, then compare actual returns and repair delays with the cost of access. The value depends on the vehicles you handle and your ordering process.
Frequently asked questions
Does it cover the brands I actually see?
Yes. 53 catalogs spanning European, Asian, American and fast-growing Chinese marques. One subscription for the listed brands.
Can my whole team use it?
Every plan is the same product — a day, a month or a year of full access to all 53 catalogs — so there is no feature tier to choose between. For a workshop running several sites or a shared counter, email us and we will set up what fits.
Will it work on a tablet at the ramp?
Yes. VINsearch is browser-based with nothing to install, so it runs on the shop PC, a tablet at the car, or a phone.
