## What is Carquest Professional?

Carquest® Independent Customers can scan directly from a vehicle’s barcode (windshield or door mounted), search for parts, and order directly from the app using their secure Carquest Professional account.  

The decoded VIN information will appear on their account’s "Previous Vehicles" list and allows shops to:
- Capture a vehicle’s detailed information, including year, make, model, and engine
- Launch CarquestPro to find parts for scanned vehicles right from the app
- Store recent vehicles scanned within the app itself
- Upload the scanned data into your Carquest Professional online account

To look up parts or upload scanned vehicles to your Carquest Professional account, you must be an active professional customer. Visit my.advancepro.com for information on starting a professional customer account or obtaining your online credentials.

For support questions on the mobile Carquest Professional app, contact Customer Service at 1-877-280-5965 during normal business hours.

### 1/5 — Crashes within 10 seconds

*2025-12-24*

Can’t even give a proper review of app due to incessant crashing.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-11-30, version 1.3.2*

App works great! To note it’s only for those that already have an account with Carquest!

### 1/5 — Unsupported, lack of function

*2023-01-15*

This app worked well with my iPhone until a few months ago. Now the VIN scan function will not orient properly in the camera view, and is nearly impossible to frame. I thought the developer would eventually address this, but the last update was 3 years ago.

### 1/5 — Lack of function without account.

*2022-05-19*

Forces you to make and have an account. I just wanted mainly a cross reference source for car quest parts but there’s only 3 options unless you have an account. The Wix and NAPA apps don’t have that and Wix has a cross reference.
It’s 2022, they need to get with the times.

### 1/5 — Very difficult and confusing

*2022-05-03, version 1.2*

Have to create an account before we can use this app, they give you an address that doesn’t have sign up info for customers. Wasted too much time trying to figure it out.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2022-04-21, version 1.2*

I really don’t understand why we keep getting these unusable garbage apps in Apple app store. Looking like more and more that I am going to get a new phone from a responsible company, which Apple is most definitely not. What a waste.
