The catalogue shows part numbers and technical specs only – no RRP (Recommended Retail Price). This is a trade catalogue, so you cannot buy direct. You must call a local Partquip dealer. This adds a frustrating extra step for the DIYer.

The printed catalogue is a tank. It is printed on heavy-duty, oil-resistant paper with a reinforced binding. It is designed to sit on a greasy workshop bench and survive being thumbed through with dirty hands. The font is small but sharp, maximizing information per page. partquip catalogue

Instead of just text lists, many sections include line-drawing exploded diagrams of axles, gearboxes, and brake systems. This helps you visualize where a seal or bearing sits before you order it. The Bad (Cons) 1. The "Where Did It Go?" Problem The physical catalogue is organized by part type (e.g., Brakes > Calipers > Make > Model), not by vehicle . To find a part, you must know your vehicle's year, engine, and axle type, and then jump between sections. A beginner can spend 20 minutes hunting for a simple oil seal.

While a PDF version exists, the online search tool feels like an afterthought. It lacks the predictive text and advanced filtering of modern e-commerce sites (e.g., AutoDoc or RockAuto). The digital index is purely alphabetical; there is no "fitment guarantee" calculator. You still need to manually verify dimensions.
