EPC Catalogs for Independent Workshops
Multi-make workshops can't afford a separate dealer tool for every brand. VINsearch puts every EPC catalog behind one login so your technicians identify the right part the first time — whatever rolls in.
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

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 52 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 checks fitment on a tablet at the ramp instead of walking back to the office PC. The car is right there, the diagram is right there, and the part that gets ordered is the one that actually fits.
Where it pays for itself
The return on a catalog is measured in avoided returns. One wrong brake disc or one superseded number caught before the order covers a chunk of the monthly fee on its own. Across a busy week, ordering right first time keeps technicians turning billable hours instead of chasing re-deliveries.
Frequently asked questions
Does it cover the brands I actually see?
Yes. 52 catalogs spanning European, Asian, American and fast-growing Chinese marques. One subscription, every brand.
Can my whole team use it?
Yes. The Workshop plan includes multiple seats so your counter and technicians share one account with saved vehicle history.
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.
