If you run an aftermarket shop, you know that building an estimate is about much more than simply presenting a price for the work that a customer wants to get done. Your team knows the vehicle, understands what the customer is trying to accomplish, and takes pride in recommending the right work and parts. That matters even more when you're working with customers who are passionate about their vehicles and expect the shop to understand the difference between simply getting a vehicle back on the road and getting the vehicle to perform or look better than it did before.
Finding the right aftermarket parts is an important part of that process. Your team needs to find parts that fit the vehicle, understand pricing and availability, and make sure the parts they're recommending are accurately reflected in the estimate before it goes to the customer. These are familiar steps for any aftermarket shop, but today, they also require your team to move between different tools to get the information they need.
Making a Good Workflow Even Better
Shopmonkey and Turn 14 Distribution already play important roles in that process. Shopmonkey gives your team an all-in-one place to manage customers, vehicles, estimates, appointments, and the shop workflow, while Turn 14 gives shops access to a broad selection of aftermarket parts, brands, pricing, and availability. Both systems were built to make a specific part of the shop's day easier, and shops have come to rely on them for good reason.
The opportunity isn't that either system needs to be replaced. It's that the experience between them can be more streamlined.
When your team is building an estimate in Shopmonkey and needs to source a Turn 14 part, they may have to leave the estimate, open another tab, search for the part, check that it fits the vehicle, review pricing and availability, and then bring that information back into Shopmonkey. None of those steps are particularly difficult, but they can be time consuming and are simply part of how shops order and track their parts. But they do take your team away from the estimate they're trying to build and create more information for them to manage as they move through the job.
That's where this integration comes in.
The goal isn't to change how your team works or add another tool for them to learn. It's to make two tools they already use work better together, so your team can spend less time moving parts information around and more time focused on the estimate they're building for the customer.
Bringing Turn 14 Into the Shopmonkey Workflow
The new Turn 14 integration, coming early 2027, will bring parts access directly into Shopmonkey, so your team can search for the aftermarket parts they need while they're already working on the estimate. They can see pictures, descriptions, fitment, pricing and real-time availability and then bring the parts information into their estimating workflow without having to leave Shopmonkey and move between tabs to complete the process.
For the person building the estimate, that means the vehicle, customer, services, and parts they're working with can stay closer together. Instead of treating parts sourcing as a separate step that happens somewhere else, it becomes part of the same workflow your team is already using to build the job.

Why This Matters to Your Team
At first glance, a few extra steps in an estimate might not seem like much on their own. But we all know that your team isn't just building one estimate a day. They're doing this multiple times throughout the day, across different vehicles, customers, and types of work, and every estimate represents an opportunity to give the customer a clear recommendation with all the information they need to make an informed decision.
There's also something important happening throughout that process: your team's reputation is on the line.
Customers trust your shop to recommend parts that are right for their vehicle and to give them an estimate that accurately reflects the work you're recommending. That is especially true with aftermarket and performance work, where a vehicle owner may have spent years building, modifying, maintaining, or simply taking care of a vehicle they care deeply about. Your team understands that, and the details of the estimate are part of delivering the experience that customer expects from your shop.
With Turn 14 connected to Shopmonkey, your team can spend less time switching between tabs, searching for information in different places, and moving parts information into the estimate manually. Instead, they can spend more time using the information in front of them to build the right estimate, explain the work to the customer, and provide the best possible customer experience.
More Connected Tools. More Opportunity for Your Shop.
At Shopmonkey, we believe good technology should help shops do more with what they already have. For a shop owner, that means getting more out of the people, processes, and tools already working in the business rather than having to add another system to get the job done.
Sometimes the best way to get more out of what you have is by making the tools your team already relies on work better together.
Turn 14 and Shopmonkey may serve different parts of a shop's process, but they ultimately support the same goal: helping shops do great work for their customers. Turn 14 helps your team find the aftermarket parts they need and get them fast, while Shopmonkey helps them manage the customer, build the estimate, and move the work through the shop. Bringing those workflows closer together gives your team more of the information they need without asking them to learn new tools or open more tabs.
And this is only the beginning. As Shopmonkey and Turn 14 continue working with our shared customers, we'll keep looking for ways to make that connection more useful, simplified, and help shops get more out of the tools they already have.

Connect the parts to the work. Keep the shop moving forward.
