GREENWOOD, Ind. — KYB Corp., a supplier of ride control, hydraulic and electronic automotive products, has launched a mobile parts catalog app.
While most apps only ask for the year, make and model when searching for part numbers for a vehicle, KYB said its app dives deeper, requesting information such as engine size, trim package and drive train type, when applicable, for a more accurate and narrower list of recommended shock and strut applications and part numbers.
Service writers or technicians can search for a part they need with a phone or tablet, select the vehicle or enter the VIN, and be provided with the correct OE replacement part number, the company said. The app also will provide recommended part numbers for performance upgrade shocks and struts, strut mounts, boots and bumpers, if available. The app can also recommend the closest retailer or wholesaler from which to order the part.
If a technician was previously using the KYB Shocks app, it will be automatically updated to this latest version. New users can download the KYB Parts Catalog on The App Store and Google Play.
