Auto Parts

Last Update: July 22, 2008




Auto repair and maintenance often requires replacing certain parts. Auto parts can be purchased locally from an auto parts store, or ordered online from various auto parts suppliers.

The advantages of shopping locally at an auto parts store are:

No waiting for parts if you need the parts now. Most stores stock a wide variety of commonly replaced parts. If a part is not in stock, it can usually be delivered to the store the same day or next day from a warehouse.

You don't have to pay a shipping charge for the parts you buy, or wait days or weeks for parts to arrive from who-knows-where?

If you have a question, you can ask a real live person face-to-face.

If you have to compare parts to identify the correct replacement part, you can do that in a store. You can't do that online.

If you need to exchange old parts or return parts for a core credit, you can do that without having to pay a shipping charge.

If you have a problem, a warranty issue, or want to return a part, you can do it in person and deal with a store employee or the manager face-to-face.

You can browse in the store for sale items or other parts or accessories you might need (like motor oil, antifreeze, specialty chemicals, etc.)

You can have your alternator or starter bench tested to see if it is good or bad.

You can get your old rotors resurfaced when doing a brake job.

You help support a local business that employs local people.


The advantages of shopping online for auto parts are:

You can shop and compare prices from a wide variety of suppliers quickly and easily to find the best deal.

You can often save money because online suppliers don't have the overhead expense of maintaining a physical store.

You may be able to find specialty parts and accessories that are not available locally.

You can shop places like Ebay for used parts or specialty parts.

You can have parts delivered to your front door eliminating the need to drive to a store.
