PartsTech is a web-based automotive parts and tire procurement platform for repair shops, tire shops and dealers, connecting more than 30,000 shops to 300+ aftermarket parts and tire suppliers across 30,000+ distribution locations through a single search, quote and ordering workflow. Founded by Greg Kirber and Erik St. Pierre and acquired by OEConnection (OEC) in 2025, PartsTech pairs its shop-facing web application with a partner-facing REST API — the PartsTech External API — used by 35+ shop management systems (SMS), point-of-sale and estimating vendors to embed parts search, VIN and license plate decoding, ACES/PCdb/VCdb taxonomy lookups, live wholesale pricing and availability, punchout carts, quoting, tire search, MOTOR and Mitchell 1 labor/maintenance content, order history and local inventory into their own software.
