KYB Launches New Digital Catalog App

Updated app provides much more accurate part number recommendations.

Greenwood, IN, January 31 2024 – Most mobile catalog apps only ask for the year, make and model when searching for part numbers for a vehicle. The new KYB Parts Catalog app dives much deeper, requesting information such as engine size, trim package, and drive train type when applicable. This provides an accurate and much narrower list of recommended shock and strut applications and part numbers.

Now Service Writers or Technicians can quickly search for the part they need without accessing a computer. Just pull out your phone or tablet, select the vehicle or enter the VIN, and you will be provided with the correct OE replacement part number. You will also receive recommended part numbers for performance upgrade shocks and struts, strut mounts, boots, and bumpers if available. The app can even recommend the closest retailer or wholesaler from which to order your part.

The new KYB Parts Catalog app quickly provides repair shops with the right part number, helping to reduce repair time and opening repair bays quicker.

If you were previously using the KYB Shocks app, you will be automatically updated to this latest version. New users can download the KYB Parts Catalog on The App Store and Google Play.

KYB Releases New Mobile App

KYB Americas, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of shocks and struts, is proud to announce the release of its first ever mobile app, KYB Mobile Resource.  KYB initially developed this new app as a way to get catalog information to end users.  During development, the KYB Mobile Resource platform expanded and allows KYB to add product data, pictures, installation tips and other information instantaneously.

The KYB Mobile Resource app offers several different methods to get accurate KYB product information, including vehicle make, competitive cross reference and KYB part number lookup.

“When we started developing KYB Mobile Resource we focused on what would be most important for the end user,” said KYB Marketing Manager Kyle Freund. “Offering different ways to get accurate catalog information is critical, but we saw this as an opportunity for the app to become an extension of the KYB brand experience.  By offering multiple high quality product photos, information and installation tips, we are enhancing how people interact with KYB.”
