Auto parts support is broken — AI fixes it

Every wrong-fitment return, every unanswered compatibility question, every “does this fit my truck?” costs you money.

40%

of auto parts returns are wrong fitment

Customers order parts that don't fit their vehicle. A YMM selector and AI fitment check stops this before checkout.

$25+

per support ticket with human agents

Fitment questions, order tracking, compatibility checks — AI handles them all for a fraction of the cost.

67%

of shoppers leave if they can't verify fitment

If customers aren't sure a part fits, they bounce. Real-time fitment verification keeps them buying.

Automotive Features

Every tool your auto parts store needs

Year/Make/Model Fitment Selector

Embed a YMM bar directly in your chat widget. Customers select their vehicle and instantly see compatible parts with direct links to your store. Supports cascading Year > Make > Model > Engine > Fuel Type lookups.

VIN Decoder via NHTSA

Customer pastes a VIN, your AI decodes it instantly — year, make, model, engine, displacement, fuel type. Then cross-references your fitment catalog to recommend compatible parts automatically.

Dealer Locator (Live API)

Connect your dealer/installer database via REST API. Customers ask "where can I get this installed near me?" and the AI returns a grid of nearby authorized dealers with phone numbers.

Shopify Product Sync

Sync your entire parts catalog to the AI knowledge base. The AI knows your inventory, pricing, fitment data, SKUs, and tags — answering product questions with real data, not guesses.

Reduce Returns with AI Fitment

Wrong-fitment returns kill margins. Apex verifies vehicle compatibility before purchase, catching mismatches in the chat before they become costly returns and unhappy customers.

Order Tracking & Self-Service

"Where's my order?" is your #1 ticket. Apex pulls tracking data from Shopify automatically. Customers get instant answers without waiting for an agent.

How it works for auto parts stores

From zero to AI-powered fitment support in minutes.

1

Connect your store & upload fitment data

Link Shopify, BigCommerce, or Magento. Import your YMM fitment catalog via CSV — supports 100K+ rows. The AI syncs your products automatically.

2

Configure YMM, VIN & dealer lookup

Enable the YMM bar in your widget, set required fields (Year/Make/Model/Engine/Fuel Type), connect your dealer locator API. VIN decoding works out of the box.

3

AI handles fitment questions 24/7

Customers select their vehicle or paste a VIN. The AI finds compatible parts, links to your store, and answers fitment questions — while learning from every conversation.
