Magento for Cars Spare Parts?

Hello,
 
The main special need I have here is a relationship between each item and a set of categories (and sub-categories).
All (or most) of items will have a list of compatible vehicles.
 
Vehicles are defined in categories as YEAR/MAKE/MODEL/TRIM
 
And each item has to map to a category (and its sub-categories) or simply, fits all. 
  
Is this reasonably-easy doable with Magento? 
 
Not much of products, less than 1K, but this feature is kind of backbone to the website.
 
I saw only one old thread mentioning the same use and unforgettably he was complaining 
 
Best regards!

@ahassoun Not getting much about your needs, if you elaborate your requirement then would be easier to answer your question. Yes, you can assign each item to category and sub-categories. However, you can also use product attributes for each attribute.

Thanks for the quick response! 

 

Each item will be assigned to a set of categories and sub-categories

 

For example, a particular part (item) will be compatible with a group of categories (MAKE: GMC, Choverlete, Lexus, etc) and sub-categories of each category (Sierra, Silverado, LX, etc)

 

Have a look at this website which sells auto parts as well: https://gmpartsonline.net

Re: Magento for Cars Spare Parts?

I have checked 2 other examples of websites selling car parts and accessories (with the exact same mapping/relations) and both of them are using Magento.. so I guess the answer to my question is yes, Magento can do it.

Any keywords to look for on how they built the 'select your vehicle' section?

I have checked different kind of spare parts of the car that provides a wide range of car accessories through the online platform. Now you can get the https://electronicx.de/Rasentraktor-Batterie option where a lot of batteries are available and this can provide a wide of range accessories that connect to the battery of the car.
