For Parts Store Counterpeople:

Often times when referring to your store’s electronic parts catalog you find that no part is listed for the make, model and year of the vehicle you looking for.  This can be particularly true when the vehicle is a late model.  Since some catalog providers can take as long as six months in some instances to update their records, it smart to check Free-Cat.com.  Our records are updated more frequently, in many cases on a daily basis, which means that chances are, if the part is available from any aftermarket supplier, you will find it on Free-Cat.com.  And once you get a valid part number, you might even be able to find the part in your store’s computer.

Another good time to check Free-Cat.com is when the catalog you are using returns confusing or conflicting results. Often times existing eCats display two, three or more part numbers for a single application without making it clear what the differences are.  You can often be left to guess which is part is the best fit for your application and that leaves you with the hassle of trying to figure out which is the right part.  Free-Cat can often eliminate that problem.  Since our data comes directly from the manufacturer it isn’t subject to as many translations or adaptations to fit into a commercial eCat.  Many parts professionals tell us the data in Free-Cat is far less confusing than what they encounter in their store systems. 

We know that many of you end up going to manufacturer’s websites in last-ditch attempt to get the information you need. Now Free-Cat has consolidated all the information for the leading aftermarket brands on one site!  Using Free-Cat means no more surfing to multiple manufacturer websites in a frantic attempt to find what you are looking for.
