Built for the US automotive aftermarket
Whether you are in a home garage in Texas, a body shop in California, or a fleet yard in the Midwest, PartFinder AI speaks the language of American parts research: OEM references, domestic fitment years, and retailer shortcuts you already use.
DIY & weekend wrenchers
Skip hours of forum scrolling. Get a starting OEM reference and fitment direction before you drive to the parts store or order online for delivery across the US.
Independent repair shops
Front-counter teams use PartFinder AI to document mystery components, attach photos to estimates, and speed up calls to NAPA, O'Reilly, or your jobber.
Collision & body shops
Estimators capture damaged parts on the lift, note related components to inspect, and produce shareable summaries for supplements and insurer review.
Salvage & fleet operations
Yard staff and fleet managers label unknown inventory faster—especially when tags are missing but the casting or bracket profile is visible.
Real parts, real photos
Brake pads, injectors, HVAC cores, CV boots, batteries, and more — the same kinds of catalog and bench photos you already work with. Upload yours on the lift or counter.

Car part lookup by photo — how US teams use PartFinder AI
Searching for an unknown component usually means bouncing between forums, PDF catalogs, and five open retailer tabs. PartFinder AI compresses that workflow: upload an image, receive a structured report with a suggested part name, OEM-style reference code, likely year/make/model fitment, and optional damage context for collision work.
The platform is designed for the United States market: pricing in USD, monthly search allowances that match shop volume, and outbound shortcuts toward US ecommerce and parts chains. Results are research aids—always confirm against your VIN, trim level, and supplier catalog before install or warranty decisions.
Common searches we support: car part identification by photo · OEM part number lookup · automotive fitment research · collision parts catalog search · aftermarket vs OEM cross-reference starting point.

Frequently asked questions
Answers for US drivers, DIYers, and repair shops using photo-based part identification.
How do I find an OEM part number from a photo?
Upload a clear, well-lit photo of the part in PartFinder AI. The vision model reads shape, castings, and labels, then returns a suggested part name, OEM-style reference code, and fitment hints you can verify with your VIN or parts counter.
Is PartFinder AI a substitute for a professional mechanic?
No. Results are research aids for DIYers, shops, and estimators in the United States. Always confirm fitment, torque specs, and safety-critical work with a qualified technician and OEM documentation.
Which US auto parts stores does PartFinder AI link to?
Reports include shortcuts to major US retailers such as Amazon, RockAuto, AutoZone, and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Inventory and pricing change constantly—verify on each retailer's website before purchasing.
What photo works best for car part identification?
Use daylight or shop lighting, keep the part in focus, and fill most of the frame. Include stampings, stickers, or barcodes when visible. Adding year, make, and model in the dashboard improves fitment accuracy.
Can body shops and collision estimators use PartFinder AI?
Yes. Shops use it to speed up front-end research on damaged components, document related parts to inspect, and share structured summaries with suppliers or insurers. Paid plans scale monthly identification volume.
