Keeping Your Car Running: How to Find Auto Parts You Can Trust

February 25, 2021 By Gauge Magazine

Auto Parts You Can Trust

If you need an auto repair it can be stressful, as finding the right part at the right price can be complex and time-consuming.  Here is how to find Auto Parts you can trust

With 75% of all repairs being carried out by independent garages and 25% being carried out by dealers, it is clear that you’re more likely to see aftermarket parts being used on your vehicle.

If you need auto parts, which aftermarket spares do you go for? You may know what you need, but with so many different options of places you can buy auto parts, how do you know that you’re getting the best deal?

Let’s take a look at how to find auto parts that you can trust.

Do Some Research 

The first thing that you should do is research the specific part that you need. Shop around to see where you can find the best price. Sometimes, used auto parts may be suitable for your vehicle, so you shouldn’t rule out buying from a salvage yard.

If you need a specific part, you may need to go to a specialist parts dealer. For example, if you’re looking for parts for a diesel particulate filter, you might want to look at DPF Parts Direct.

Don’t Rule Out eBay

There are lots of great sellers on eBay that will have the parts that you require. However, there are two things that you need to check before you buy.

Firstly, make sure that the seller is in the same country as you. International shipping can be pricey and slow.

Secondly, check the seller’s feedback score and look for patterns in their reviews that might prove to be a warning.

Check You’re Getting the Right Part 

Get in touch with the auto parts warehouse that you’ll be buying from and confirm that you are definitely getting the right auto parts for your vehicle.

Check the part on the vehicle and look for any markings or part numbers. Use these as a reference when confirming that you are indeed buying the correct part.

Check the Returns Policy

While most of the auto parts that you buy won’t have any issues with them, you may find that some do. A part that you buy may be faulty or it could get damaged in transit.

Sometimes you may not realize that you have a problem part until it’s been fitted. There may also be occasions when the part is incorrect.

Before you buy your replacement auto parts you should always check out the returns policy. Find out where you stand on unwanted parts as well as faulty or damaged items.

How to Find Auto Parts You Can Trust

When hunting down the best value discount auto parts, do shop around. Don’t be afraid to ask for the best price and always double-check that you’re getting the right part.
