Year/Make/Model Search That Actually Understands Vehicles

Smart fitment prompting, ACES-native data, and AI-powered search that recognizes vehicles and parts — not just keywords.

Standard YMM, Smarter Than Standard

Most auto parts sites offer some version of Year/Make/Model. Parts Square goes further.

Out of the Box, You Get:

Clean YMM Selector

A Year/Make/Model interface your customers already understand and trust.

Smart Optional Fields

Submodel, engine, body style, drivetrain, and more — only when the data requires it.

Real Fitment Engine

Checks actual ACES application data, not just text matches or generic filters.

We only ask for extra details when the part actually needs them. If a product fits all engines and body styles, we don't force unnecessary dropdowns.

Vehicle Selection

Configurable for Your Use Case: 60+ ACES Fields

Different businesses need different levels of precision

ACES Fitment

From Simple to Comprehensive

Keep It Simple

Use just Year/Make/Model for broad-fit products and easy browsing.

Go Deep When Needed
  • Engine (code, displacement, fuel type)
  • Submodel / Trim level
  • Body style (sedan, coupe, wagon)
  • Drive type (FWD, RWD, AWD, 4WD)
  • Transmission type
  • Axle, bed length, GVWR, and more
Configure Your Approach

Ask for more upfront (engines and trims right away), or keep the selector lean and prompt only when required for specific parts.

You get a YMM implementation tailored to your niche, your catalog, and your tolerance for friction.

AI-Powered Search That Recognizes Vehicles, Not Just Keywords

Most platforms treat the search box like dumb text search. We're smarter.

We Understand Natural Language

Parts Square uses AI and named entity recognition (NER) to understand what shoppers type:

"2014 honda accord brake pads"

"f150 ecoboost shocks"

"ac belt for 2018 silverado 5.3"

We Detect:

Year
2014, 2018, etc.

Make
Honda, Ford, Chevrolet

Model
Accord, F-150, Silverado

Part Intent

All of this runs on an enterprise-grade search stack, tuned specifically for auto parts.

Accurate Orders

Designed to Reduce Wrong-Part Orders

Strict Fitment Respect

Always respect application fitment data from ACES.

Smart Prompting

  • Happier customers
  • Less time cleaning up avoidable mistakes
