Lifetime Replacement Parts
// about · manifesto

Software for people who actually own their things.

We built Lifetime Replacement Parts because we got tired of paying for the same brake rotors twice. Of forgetting which oil filter brand FCP carries. Of hunting through a 14,000-message inbox for the original order a vendor asks for during a warranty claim.

The internet quietly stopped being a tool you owned. Music became a stream. Books became a license. Even your receipts live somewhere else now — in some vendor's order-history page that disappears the moment that vendor goes under or pivots to selling cookware.

Cars are one of the last things normal people genuinely own. You have the title. You can paint it pink, swap the engine, drive it into a wall. And along the way you accumulate a long, expensive trail of evidence: every part, every receipt, every torque-wrench memory.

That trail is worth thousands of dollars. Vendors know it — that's why "lifetime replacement" is on the box. They're betting you won't keep the receipt.

Lifetime Replacement Parts is that receipt. Forever. Yours.

// principles

Five rules that decide every product call.

01

Your ledger, your data.

We never store credit card numbers. We never hide exports behind pricing tiers. Delete your account and the parts drawer goes with it.

02

Dense, never bloated.

If you have 487 parts you should be able to see 487 parts. We refuse to hide your data behind 'cards' and dashboards full of empty space and motivational quotes.

03

AI is a feature, not the product.

We use Claude to parse weird PDF receipts and reconcile vendor SKUs. We do not 'chat with your garage.' Your wrenches don't have a chatbot.

04

Export-first.

Anything in lrp is one keystroke from being a JSON, a CSV, or a printable PDF. Your data leaves the moment you ask it to. No 'enterprise tier' lock-in.

05

Built by users.

Every active developer drives a project car. We ship the features we use to find orders, prepare vendor-specific claims, and keep parts records straight.

// the build log

How we got here.

feb 2024
the realization

Jeff buys his fourth set of front brake rotors for the E46. Realizes FCP would have replaced the third set free. Files a furious Google Sheet.

may 2024
v0 (the spreadsheet)

Three friends share the sheet. It hits 1,200 rows. Search starts taking 8 seconds.

oct 2024
first prototype

Built in a weekend on top of an LLM-based receipt parser. Normalizes messy order receipts into ledger rows.

mar 2025
private beta · 40 users

First real vendor claim prepared from the ledger: a $612 throttle body replacement at Pelican. The user handled the vendor form with the original order details ready.
