Dayco releases VIN scanning app

Dayco Products has released a new app for smartphones and tablets. The Dayco app features a comprehensive application catalog – with an innovative VIN scanner.

Users can search for Dayco parts by application, VIN number, or competitive interchange.

Dayco says it incorporated “one of the most innovative features the aftermarket has seen” with the VIN scanning feature. The new Dayco app scans the VIN bar code and displays all the Dayco replacement parts, belt routings, installation videos, and images.

The “Where to Buy” tab locates all of the Dayco distributors in the user’s area automatically, using the smartphone’s GPS software. Current location is displayed, as well as all the locations mapped with addresses and phone numbers. Tap the phone number and it connects a call to that location.

Robert Christy, director of marketing for Dayco says, “Dayco has listened to the customer and realized that we have a responsibility to develop an app that provides real value. No other aftermarket company has developed a VIN scanning tool that displays all the replacement parts, specifications, where to buy and the ability to instantly call to order. We are very proud of this patent pending development and plan to continue to use technology to provide innovative solutions for Dayco customers.”
