Unlocking a Vast Parts Universe at Your Fingertips
RushCare Parts Connect grants customers immediate access to a massive inventory encompassing hundreds of thousands of in-stock parts, valued at over $250 million within the Rush Enterprises network.

This smart functionality significantly reduces search time and minimizes the risk of ordering incorrect parts. Moreover, with each search, the system proactively suggests related and alternate parts options, empowering customers with informed choices and ensuring they find the optimal component for their specific repair needs.
Effortless Navigation and Intelligent Search Capabilities
Mike Eppes, managing vice-president, parts, Rush Enterprises, highlights the user-centric design of the platform: “RushCare Parts Connect essentially puts the power of our expert parts professionals directly into our customers’ hands. We’ve integrated features that our internal teams rely on, such as full-color imagery, VMRS (Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards) data, and detailed specifications. This rich information makes navigation intuitive and searching efficient, allowing customers to confidently shop for parts whenever and wherever it suits them best.”
Setting up an account on www.rushtruckcenters.com is a quick and straightforward process. For existing Rush Truck Centers customers, linking their current account to RushCare Parts Connect is even faster, providing immediate access to the system’s robust features.

Customers can refine their searches using full or partial part numbers, further accelerating the identification process.
