PCDB Viewer

According to the Auto Care Association, the Product Classification Database (PCdb) is intended to design, populate, and implement a database for coded hierarchical terminology describing replacement parts, service items and supplies commonly sold in the aftermarket industry.

The PCdb enables you to find the proper terminology for the parts that you sell. For example, 'brake pads' are 'disc brake pads' in the database. When you properly list your parts, customers will be able to find your products more efficiently. Additionally, certain parts use a 'position' where the part fits on the vehicle. It's essential that your customer is able to identify the position that the part fits (i.e. left front, front catalytic converter, etc.)

The ACA updates the database monthly, therefore we'll notify users if their part terminology has been changed or if updates to the part's position has been made.
