Start with exact vehicle fitment

For phase one, the most useful filter is make, model, and year. That already removes a large amount of friction for retail buyers who want to order used stock directly.

When multiple trims exist, use the compatibility tags as the first pass and then confirm visual or part-number details before payment.

  • Filter by make, model, and year
  • Use part category and sub-category to narrow choices
  • Compare condition notes with the intended use case

Check part identity, not just category

A headlight, caliper, seat, or radiator can have similar naming across platforms. Part number and sub-category help separate visually similar listings that are not interchangeable.

The right workflow is fitment first, part identity second, then shipping destination and support channel.
