Make Model Year filter and attribute question

Hi there, my apologies in advance for this lengthy question.

Background:
I’ve been looking for a “car parts” filter for a very long time, about 2 years. I’ve tried building it from scratch, downloading multiple plugins and i’ve wasted a lot of money.

Question:
I run a car parts website [removed] and i’ve got a somewhat working example but it’s not what i’m specifically looking for.

The main filter would be:
Make, Model, Year, Engine
When choosing the Make, only Models from that Make would be displayed. I think this is considered hierarchical.
I believe I could build a filter without having to enter all the make and models and years multiple times.

Possible solution:
Each product would have a ACF table with the information about the different car that this product can fit.

In the backend, each product would have these ACF applied to the different products:
2012 AUDI A4 2.5L
2008 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2.0T

In the frontend, if I choose the AUDI, it would choose all the MODELS that have AUDI associated with it. So on and so forth.

I’ve included screenshot on how i think it should be working.

Any help would be super appreciated 🙂

Thanks in advance,

I’m still looking for a solution. I’m starting to believe that no one using woocommerce is using that platform for selling car parts There’s simply no way to find a good solution to do proper filtering.

I’m super desperate
