When shopping for the part, check your local mechanic or car supply store. Many parts are relatively inexpensive. The true cost comes in when you need to pay for the labor to have the part installed. Used car parts are often available at a low price at these locations.
Authentic auto parts have quality that is unparalleled. Although they could be painfully expensive for a car-part replacement, they are certainly worth every penny. Try it on your car as replacement instead of settling with the low-class ones and your car will run like it is brand new once again.
Know the car component that you need. Nothing could be worse than purchasing a car part only to find out that it doesn't fit. As much as possible, when you go to the store, bring the part that needs replacement to make sure that you get exactly what you need.
Compare Prices: You may be tempted to buy from the first online real live junkyard that you come across, but don't. At least not until you have done some "comparison shopping". The web is full of delicious deals. The main reason being that you can easily check out a company's competitors at the push of a button. You don't have to drive down any road or travel any length of miles to do that.
Other junk yards will hire special staff to pull all road worthy parts from a totaled vehicle and put them up for sale. Buying 2nd hand car parts from places like these will often have some sort of guarantee on all parts other than electronics. This is because electronic 2nd hand car parts can sometimes be damaged simply by hooking up to a faulty electrical system, and there is no way to determine who is at fault. Those junk yards will however have a process for determining quality control so you can shop with comfort.
Over the years, I learned another little handy trick that seems to help when it comes to saving money on parts for my car. You know all of those old "buy here, pay here" car lots? Well, if you run into one that is locally owned, you may get a little deal on any spare parts that they have laying around. Many times, these spare parts are just lying around and cannot be used for anything in the lot. The owners of these little side car dealerships love to make a fast buck and are often more than willing to part with a few vehicle parts to make some fast cash.
