Search by VIN Feature Added to the IMC Web Warehouse Search Options

Canoga Park, CA February 18, 2009 - IMC Web Warehouse customers can search for parts search by Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A one to one match will be made in more than 95% of all searches that originate with the VIN. The vehicle information will be displayed along with parts category options for you to continue the parts look up process. In cases where there is not a one to one match, you will be prompted to select from a list of make and model choices to continue the process.

"Adding the 'Search by VIN' feature allows IMC Web Warehouse users to become more efficient and minimize returns. VIN lookup gives our customers another option to identify their vehicle, that increases both speed and accuracy in finding the parts they need", stated IMC's eCommerce Manager, Brant Warner.

Parts look up by VIN for virtually all systems use 10 of the 18 total digits in the VIN. The data base would be too large to be practical if every VIN was stored. In cases where multiple vehicles are listed, the user will be prompted to make a selection for a list of makes and models to continue the search.

The IMC Web Warehouse team is always receiving feedback and looking for ways to make the Web Warehouse more flexible and easier to use. This is one more example of our commitment to keeping the IMC Web Warehouse an industry leading resource.
