## Automate ALLDATA with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### Parts and labor for tomorrow's repair orders

Starts: When your system calls the workflow's webhook with tomorrow's VINs and jobs

1. For each vehicle and job, get parts and labor for that component from ALLDATA Repair.
2. Keep the OEM part numbers, prices, standard time and any optional labor.
3. Post the result for each job to your shop management system's webhook.

### Service sheet for the day's appointments

Starts: When your system calls the workflow's webhook with the day's appointment VINs

1. For each VIN, get the vehicle's specifications from Specifications Quick Reference.
2. Keep engine oil type and capacity, coolant type and capacity, drain plug torque and lug nut torque.
3. Email you one sheet with a section per vehicle.

### Changes in prices and labor times for jobs you quote often

Starts: Every Monday at 7:00

1. For each vehicle and component on your list, get parts and labor from ALLDATA Repair.
2. Keep the rows whose price or standard time changed since the last run.
3. Email you the changes, with the old and new values.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get parts and labor for a component” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "my.alldata.com/get_parts_and_labor",
    "input": {
      "vin": "1HGCV1F30MA000000",
      "component": "Water Pump"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "vehicle": "2021 Sedan LX L4-1.5L Turbo",
    "component": "Water Pump",
    "parts": [
      {
        "description": "Water Pump Assembly",
        "oem_part_number": "19200-ABC-A01",
        "price": 214.5,
        "currency": "USD"
      }
    ],
    "labor": [
      {
        "operation": "Water Pump, Replace",
        "skill_level": "B",
        "warranty_time_hours": 2.1,
        "standard_time_hours": 2.7
      }
    ],
    "optional_labor": [
      {
        "operation": "Drive Belt, Replace",
        "standard_time_hours": 0.2
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## Signing in to ALLDATA

Each user signs in at my.alldata.com with a Login and password that a shop administrator creates under User Management, then opens the Repair app from the ALLDATA Portal page. ALLDATA's guides describe no second sign-in step. With Fous you sign in once through ALLDATA's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

## Worth knowing

- **Two labor times, plus optional labor**: Parts and Labor shows Warranty Time, the manufacturer's rate, and Standard Time, the flat rate from independent publishers, with a skill level from A to C. Optional Labor is extra work added to the listed time.
- **Prices are suggested retail**: The Price on the Parts and Labor page is a suggested retail price for estimating purposes, and ALLDATA notes that actual pricing may vary by location.
- **Specifications start with model year 2018**: Specifications Quick Reference was first released for MY2018 vehicles and newer, and what it shows varies by vehicle. Opened from a component, it shows only that component group's specifications.
- **Access Points limit users at once**: The number of Access Points on each product is how many users can use it at the same time. Only administrators manage them, from Access Management on the Admin screen.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does ALLDATA Repair have an API?

ALLDATA's support pages for Repair document no API for subscribers. Repair is used in the browser at my.alldata.com, and its parts and labor reach other work through ALLDATA's own Estimator, included with Repair, and Shop Manager Pro, listed at $259.00 a month.

### What is the difference between Warranty Time and Standard Time?

Warranty Time is the manufacturer's rate for a factory-trained technician on a component still under warranty. Standard Time is the flat rate for a non-factory-trained technician on an out-of-warranty component, set by independent labor time publishers.

### Can I find a vehicle in ALLDATA by license plate?

Yes. On the Select Vehicle screen, choose Plate, pick the state the plate is registered in, type the plate number and click Search. You can also type a VIN or Year, Make, Model and Engine, or pick from Recent Vehicles.

### How many people in my shop can use ALLDATA at the same time?

As many as your Access Points allow. Each product has a number of Access Points, the users who can be in it at once, and an administrator manages them from the Admin screen under Access Management.

### Is Fous affiliated with ALLDATA (AutoZone)?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own ALLDATA account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of ALLDATA Repair (ALLDATA (AutoZone)). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
