A new mobile app, free from ShowMeTheParts (a division of Vertical Development, Inc.), makes it faster and easier than ever for Aftermarket professionals to find the parts they need where and when they need them.

They can interchange parts using the extensive 4.2 million interchanges and find applications for more than 850,000 part numbers. Viewing high quality images, parts specs, how-to video, technical documents, and more” said Ron Garand, vice president, ShowMeTheParts. “They can do all those things while they are under the hood of a car or out in the field.”
Because ShowMeTheParts-Mobile was developed using the latest industry-standard HTML5 web technologies, it supports virtually any mobile device on the market – including iPhone, iPad, Android and BlackBerry (6.0 up).
