PartsTech

Best for: Independent auto repair shops running 1-10 bays that order from multiple wholesale parts suppliers and want to consolidate lookups into a single screen.
Our Take
PartsTech is an auto parts ordering platform built specifically for automotive repair shops. It is not built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or appliance repair contractors. The entire product, from its VIN and license plate lookups to its vehicle diagrams and tire comparison tools, is designed around vehicle repair workflows. Home service contractors will find zero applicable supplier connections, no relevant parts catalog content, and no integrations with field service management platforms like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber.
The tool does what it promises for its actual audience. Shops connecting to AutoZone, O'Reilly, NAPA, and similar wholesale auto suppliers can compare live pricing and inventory across all accounts in one screen instead of juggling multiple browser tabs and phone calls. The free tier is genuinely functional, not a stripped-down demo, and the jump to Plus ($45/mo annually) adds retail pricing matrices and job-based search templates that independent shops use heavily. Complete at $85/mo annually adds machine-learning brand prioritization and advanced spend analytics.
For home service contractors reading this: look elsewhere. Parts procurement tools purpose-built for HVAC and appliance repair, such as Marcone's supplier portal or OEM-specific platforms, will actually connect to your distributors. PartsTech's supplier network is 100% automotive.
Pros
- Genuinely free tier with unlimited users and unlimited supplier connections makes it low-risk to try for auto shops.
- Single-screen price and availability comparison across all connected suppliers eliminates phone hold times and tab-switching.
- Integration with 35+ shop management systems (Tekmetric, Mitchell 1, Shop-Ware, etc.) allows one-click parts addition to repair orders.
- Job-based search templates let technicians pull all parts for a common repair in one workflow rather than searching each component separately.
- Analytics on Plus and Complete tiers track spend by supplier, user, part type, and brand, giving shop owners real procurement visibility.
Cons
- Entirely automotive-focused with zero supplier connections, catalog data, or workflows relevant to HVAC, appliance repair, plumbing, or electrical contractors.
- No integrations with any field service management software used in home services (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, etc.).
- Tire comparison and mobile quoting features are locked behind the paid Plus tier, which may frustrate shops that primarily sell tires.
- User permissions and team access controls require the top-tier Complete plan ($85-$95/mo), an odd limitation for multi-tech shops on tighter budgets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PartsTech free?
Yes. PartsTech offers a permanently free tier with unlimited users, unlimited parts supplier connections, live pricing and inventory, VIN lookups, and integration with 35+ shop management systems. Paid plans start at $45/mo (billed annually) for additional features like retail pricing configuration and advanced job search.
Does PartsTech work for HVAC or appliance repair businesses?
No. PartsTech is built exclusively for automotive repair shops. Its supplier network, parts catalog (15M+ products), vehicle diagrams, and VIN-based lookup tools are all auto-specific. HVAC, appliance, plumbing, and electrical contractors will not find relevant suppliers or compatible integrations on the platform.
How much does PartsTech cost per month?
PartsTech has three tiers: Free ($0), Plus ($45/mo billed annually or $50/mo monthly), and Complete ($85/mo billed annually or $95/mo monthly). Annual billing saves up to 10%. There is no per-user charge; all plans include unlimited users.
Does PartsTech integrate with shop management software?
Yes. PartsTech integrates with more than 35 shop management systems including Tekmetric, Mitchell 1, Shop-Ware, and others, allowing technicians to add parts to repair orders with a single click. These are all automotive shop management platforms; there are no integrations with home service software like ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro.
Is PartsTech worth it for small auto repair shops?
The free tier delivers real value for small shops, eliminating phone calls and tab-switching across multiple supplier websites. Shops that process 10 or more repair orders daily and order from three or more suppliers will likely see the 15-minute-per-RO time savings the company cites. The Plus tier at $45/mo adds enough (retail pricing, full job templates) to justify the cost for most working shops.
