For car dealers

Prep stock with verified data.

Every wrong part on a prep bay costs margin and days on the forecourt. Embed Parts Resolve in your DMS or workshop tools — plate lookup, evidence-backed equivalents and fitment — then order through the suppliers you already trust.

Why it works

Built for your day.

VRM-first prep lists

Lookup each stock unit via /api/v1/vehicle/lookup. DVLA make, model and year lock the vehicle context before anyone types a free-text description.

Equivalents you can audit

Resolve OEM numbers to aftermarket and superseded codes with cited evidence — useful when deciding genuine vs aftermarket for retail prep.

Fewer wrong parts

VIN-aware fitment, gearbox detection and steering side — the variant traps that send cheap stock back. Catch them in data before the courier arrives.

Works with your DMS

API key auth and /api/v1 paths plug into dealer systems and workshop screens. No OAuth project, no marketplace checkout required.

Group-ready volume

Multi-site groups scale on Workshop Pro or Platform — bulk resolve for overnight catalogue jobs, fair-use unlimited on Platform.

Clear commercial model

Trial 100 free requests, then monthly API plans. No live success fees or unlimited free buyer search — you pay for the data you call.

How it fits

From plate to prep-ready resolve.

  1. Step 01

    Stock unit in

    Add the VRM through your DMS integration. We return the DVLA spec so prep parts are scoped to the real vehicle.

  2. Step 02

    Resolve each line

    For service items and smart-repair parts, resolve OEM numbers and review evidence plus confidence before you raise a PO with your factor.

  3. Step 03

    Fitment check

    On Workshop Pro+, call fitment endpoints to confirm the part type against the vehicle — then fulfil through your existing trade accounts.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Does Parts Resolve place orders for us?

No. Ordering and RFQ are not live. The API identifies the right part; you buy through existing trade accounts. Marketplace waitlist is on /contact.

Can franchise dealers use this?

Yes — mainly for non-OEM lines and cross-reference checks. Genuine franchise stock can stay on your manufacturer system; Parts Resolve helps everywhere else.

Do you support used / dismantler stock?

Supplier marketplace listings are not live yet. You can still use resolve and fitment data when comparing options from your own used-parts channels.

How do multi-site groups meter usage?

Share API keys carefully or split keys per branch. Workshop Pro allows multiple keys; Platform adds IP allowlisting and dedicated support.
