Example prompt: For my 2019 Toyota Tacoma's front brake job, can you compare OEM vs aftermarket brake pads and rotors, rank the best aftermarket brands by quality, and tell me where I can buy them?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or user needs to decide between OEM and aftermarket parts for a specific vehicle repair, wants brand quality rankings to avoid low-quality parts, or needs to know where to purchase parts. Prefer over generic search when structured, ranked, and sourced parts data is needed for a known vehicle.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported vehicle make/model/year returns no results
- Obscure or very old vehicles may have limited parts data
- Part name too vague or ambiguous returns generic results
- Network or service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Payment not completed returns 402 Payment Required
