Factory vehicle data · UK · EU · USA

The paint code, the exact build, and the parts that fit. From one VIN.

Other services return the specification. We return the manufacturer's own record: the colour the vehicle was painted in with its OEM code, the precise trim it left the line as, and the genuine parts catalogue for that exact vehicle, with prices and technical illustrations.

Four data lines, one lookup

The manufacturer record, decoded to the individual vehicle rather than the model.

Factory paint

The manufacturer colour name and OEM paint code the vehicle was actually built in, with finish type and a true swatch. The code a refinisher mixes from, not the word on the logbook.

Exact build specification

The trim that specific vehicle left the line as: engine, transmission, body, drive, grade, interior and production date. Verified against the VIN, not inferred from the model.

Factory intelligence

Engine and transmission serial numbers, assembly plant, destination market and emissions standard, where the manufacturer records them. Data no consumer service publishes.

Genuine parts

The parts catalogue filtered to that VIN: assembly groups, part numbers, quantities, fitment conditions, manufacturer list prices, and the illustrations with every callout linked to its part.

Built for the trade

One integration. Three industries that need the manufacturer record every working day.

Body repairers

The paint code and the panel, from a registration. Search the catalogue the way the trade speaks, by wing, bonnet or nearside, and get the part number, the price and the diagram.

Dealers & marketplaces

Describe stock accurately from the VIN. Exact factory trim, options and build date, so listings are right and disputes never start.

Platforms & insurers

A single API for paint, specification and parts across cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles. One contract, three territories.

Coverage

Forty four makes across passenger cars, motorcycles and heavy commercial vehicles. The service works from a VIN in any market for every make covered. UK registrations are converted to a VIN automatically.

+20 more

Plus motorcycles (BMW Motorrad) and heavy commercial (Mercedes Trucks, MAN, Iveco). Coverage grows as manufacturer records are added.

Parts are a second call against the same vehicle: assembly groups, part numbers, list prices, and illustrations with hotspot coordinates. Every VIN is cached on first retrieval, so repeats return in milliseconds and are never charged twice.

Pricing

Monthly, no minimum term. Lookups roll within the month. Registration to VIN conversion is billed separately where used, as it carries a third-party cost.
