Vicrez launches free installer network across all 50 states

Vicrez has launched a nationwide directory to help vehicle owners find local shops for aftermarket installs, from body kits and widebody conversions to vinyl wrap and paint protection film. The free platform covers all 50 states and aims to close a long-standing gap between buying parts online and finding a qualified installer nearby.

Why it matters: - The Vicrez Installer Network aims to make aftermarket purchases easier to complete by connecting customers with shops that can handle the installation work. - The directory addresses a common problem in the aftermarket market: parts are easy to buy online, but qualified local installation can be hard to find. - The platform is free for vehicle owners and free for qualified shops to claim a listing. - Vicrez does not charge commissions, referral fees or per-lead fees from installers featured in the directory.

What happened: - Vicrez announced the public launch of the Vicrez Installer Network on June 9, 2026. - The nationwide directory is designed to connect vehicle owners with local installation shops for body kits, widebody conversions, OE replacement bumpers, custom wheels, tire packages, vinyl wrap, paint protection film and window tint. - The directory lists 16,542 installation businesses across all 50 states. - The platform includes 337 verified installer listings. - The database indexes 2,594 distinct city and state combinations. - The Vicrez Installer Network is available at installers.vicrez.com.

The details: - Each listing includes business name, address, contact information, services offered and customer-submitted notes. - Verified listings have been reviewed by Vicrez staff for active operation, insurance status and demonstrated experience with aftermarket installation work. - The platform can be searched by ZIP code, city, state or service category. - Vehicle owners buying a Vicrez body kit, widebody conversion, OE replacement bumper, VCORSA tire set, custom wheel package, vinyl wrap roll or paint protection film can use the directory to find a nearby installer before completing a project. - Vicrez also offers wheel and tire packages that can arrive pre-mounted and ready for installation. - Shops that complete the verification process receive a verified badge, improved placement in relevant city pages and the ability to highlight past installation work. - There is no paid tier for placement. - Placement is based on verification status, geographic relevance and listing completeness rather than advertising spend. - Listings are organized by service category for body kit installation, widebody installation, wheels and tires, vinyl wrap, paint protection film, window tint and related services. - The directory gives special attention to shops with widebody installation experience, which is among the most technical aftermarket work for late-model muscle cars, trucks and performance vehicles. - The platform publishes local market guides for major and mid-size U.S. markets. - Those guides cover installation expectations, common service categories, regional considerations for vinyl wrap and paint protection film, and local enthusiast demand. - The 2,594 indexed city-state combinations include large metropolitan areas and mid-size markets such as Tulsa, Oklahoma; Boise, Idaho; Greenville, South Carolina; and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Between the lines: - Vicrez is trying to own more of the journey from product discovery to final installation, not just the parts sale. - The directory also gives the company a way to steer customers toward shops that understand fitment, finishing work and vehicle-specific installation requirements. - The absence of paid placement suggests Vicrez wants the network to read as a utility rather than an ad product. - Vicrez is also folding in buyer education through VicrezDriver, which can help shoppers set expectations before they contact a shop. - City pages can link to educational content on lead times, installer expectations, product compatibility and project planning. - The launch covers enthusiast platforms including Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Chevrolet, Ford, Tesla, Toyota, BMW, Lamborghini and Ferrari. - Co-Founder and COO Benjamin Villacrez said the network is meant to solve the fragmented local installation layer customers have faced for years.

What’s next: - Vicrez plans to expand the verification program over the coming year. - The company also plans to add new shop-facing tools over the same period. - Vicrez says the near-term goal is to grow the verified installer network and strengthen the connection between customers, parts and local installation shops. - Future updates are expected to focus on helping customers find qualified shops faster and move forward with more confidence.

The bottom line: - Vicrez is using a free, nationwide installer directory to turn aftermarket parts shopping into a more complete buy-and-install experience.
