EPC Catalogs for Franchise Dealerships
Your franchise tool covers one brand — but trade-ins, courtesy fleets and walk-ins don't. VINsearch adds other covered marques alongside your OEM system, in the browser.
The problem we solve
- Franchise EPC covers only your brand
- Servicing mixed trade-in stock
- Parts desk turning away other marques
- Per-seat dealer software costs
What you get
Beyond your franchise
Identify parts for other covered brands your service drive sees.
VIN to exact build
Check the manufacturer vehicle record and each part’s application.
Alongside your franchise EPC
Runs in the browser next to your OEM system, on the same machines.
Always current
Live data with supersessions — no update discs.
Your franchise tool stops at your badge
Your OEM system is authoritative for your brand. Trade-ins, courtesy fleets and walk-ins bring other badges through the service drive. VINsearch sits alongside your franchise EPC, giving the parts desk another way to check the makes shown in our coverage map.
It runs in the browser next to your existing tools, so there is no second terminal to license and no workflow to rebuild.
Capture the work you currently turn away
Every car you cannot identify is revenue handed to the shop down the road. Adding 53 catalogs to the parts desk means a Hyundai owner, a BYD owner and a Transit driver all get served, and the service drive keeps the margin instead of referring it out.
Frequently asked questions
Does it replace our franchise EPC?
No, it complements it. Keep your OEM system for your brand and use VINsearch for other covered marques you service.
Can we manage multiple users?
There is one product and three time windows — a day, a month or a year — with full access to all 53 catalogs on every one. For a dealer group covering several sites, email us and we will work out the arrangement.
Does it need a separate terminal?
No. It is browser-based, so it runs next to your franchise tools on the same machines with nothing to install.
