The search functionality found exclusively on CARiD.com now includes vehicle-specific product groupings for more than 500 repair tasks; made possible through the company’s robust vehicle fitment data and service type classifications

PARTS iD, Inc. , the owner and operator of, among other verticals, “CARiD.com,” a leading digital commerce platform for the automotive aftermarket, today announced it has surpassed 500 repair classifications within its Shop By Service Type search functionality. The feature allows customers to select a specific replacement part, while the platform searches through more than 16.7 million product SKUs to deliver a thorough list of the exact products needed to complete the task.

Shop By Service Type is built directly into PARTS iD’s proprietary site infrastructure, creating a unique and frictionless customer interface that many competing e-commerce, hybrid or brick-and-mortar businesses do not currently offer. The outstanding feature is that the customer chooses the primary replacement item (for example, brake pads), and the website delivers a wide choice of results while also showing complimentary or optional items frequently needed (brake rotors, brake fluid, and even special brake tools). The benefit is that the customer can order all supplemental products at the same time, rather than later discovering that a necessary component is missing. All products found via Shop by Service Type are guaranteed to fit the vehicle, based on the year, make and model as entered by the customer.

The current Shop by Service Type collection includes major systems such as brakes, cooling, ignition, and suspension, which are broken down into detailed component lists such as brake calipers, radiators, spark plugs, and shock absorbers. The feature’s functionality and scalability are made possible by way of the platform’s robust fitment data, which encompasses over 14 billion unique product and vehicle data points.

“The growth of our Shop by Service Type search capabilities is directly aligned with PARTS iD’s overall efforts to reinvent how shoppers purchase car parts and accessories online. The strength of this feature enables us to build on our industry-leading customer service offerings and drive continued positive sentiment from shoppers,” said Nino Ciappina, CEO of PARTS iD, Inc. “Through consistent investments in platform enhancements that optimize the customer experience on CARiD.com, including Shop by Service Type, PARTS iD is confident in our ability to drive revenue while maintaining low return rates and high customer satisfaction.”
