Parts lookup
Use VIN-based lookup to receive vehicle decomposition, categories, compatible parts, and current pricing signals for faster quoting and repair planning.
VIN decomposition for make, model, year, trim, and useful vehicle attributes.
Part categories and likely replacement parts matched to the vehicle.
Current pricing signals to support estimates, buying, and margin checks.
How the lookup works
- You submit a VIN. It is decoded against NHTSA's vPIC database — the manufacturer's own submission — for make, model, year, trim, body type and engine, rather than against a guessed model table.
- The decoded vehicle is broken down into part categories, and each category resolved to the parts that actually fit that build. Trim and engine matter here: one model year can take different parts depending on how the car left the factory.
- Each candidate part is matched to the manufacturer's own OEM number and priced against current supplier offers, so the figure you quote is what someone is asking today rather than a list price or a book value.
What comes back
- The VIN decode: make, model, year, trim, body type, engine, and the factory attributes the manufacturer published for that vehicle.
- Part categories for the vehicle, and the likely replacement parts inside each of them. Categories follow the way the vehicle is actually assembled, so a quote can be built panel by panel.
- The manufacturer's own OEM part number on every row, not an aftermarket equivalent that may or may not fit.
- Current supplier pricing signals, timestamped to the moment the lookup ran, for estimates, buying decisions and margin checks.
Who it fits
Body shops and parts desks quoting from a VIN before the car has arrived, and importers working out whether a repair is worth doing at all before the bid goes in. It also answers the question that decides most salvage bids: whether the parts for this particular build are cheap and available, or rare and slow.
It is the wrong tool if you need guaranteed stock availability. A pricing signal says what a part is being offered at; it does not reserve one, and a supplier can be out of stock by the time you place the order.

Does Partsify inspect hidden structural damage?
No. A remote report cannot replace a physical teardown, and Partsify does not claim to detect hidden structural, frame or mechanical damage. It reads the auction photos for visible damage, then names the likely replacement parts with OEM numbers and current supplier prices, estimates labor hours, and totals the repair before you bid.
