The Salvage Yard. Let's admit it: there isn't anything wrong with going to the junkyard to find the part you need. My '78 VW Rabbit's window handle broke and I snagged one off of a junker for just a few bucks. Still, if you are looking for a radiator, engine, exhaust stuff, or anything else that actually runs, you risk that the part will fail soon after you place it in your car. Naturally, the price you pay through the junkyard should be the lowest price going.



You should clean your battery posts and terminals at least once every year. You can purchase inexpensive tools at a store like Harbor Freight to remove the battery terminals from their posts. You also need a special battery brush. Prepare a mixture of baking soda and water to clean any acid residue on the battery. Always remove the negative terminal first. Follow this order to avoid any short circuits if the tool contacts the body frame.

When buying auto parts online you also want to stay away from using paypal and Google checkout when buying car parts. Even though they are safe, most of the time they charge a percentage which YOU have to pay for. If the auto parts company has an SSL certificate you are perfectly safe buying from them. Also, make sure you look at the design of the site.

Now we're all ready to gap your plugs. Correct gaps can be found on the engine specifications decal underneath the hood. It's a good practice to stick with the brand of plugs originally installed in your car at the factory. For Ford products they are Motorcraft, in General Motors products they are AC Delco; Chrysler products use Champion. Refer to a parts guide to find the correct type, or ask the salesperson in your local auto parts store.

Now you can see the brake calipers holding the brake pads against the rotors. There are 2 pads in each wheel that squeeze the rotor. Unbolt the caliper mounting bolts and pull the caliper back from the rotor. Be careful not to bend or break the brake hose. Sometimes the caliper mounting bolts require you to use a Torx or Star bit instead of a normal socket set. These can also be purchased at your local dealing with jon boats store and an employee will help you to purchase the size that is just right for your VW vehicle. Plan ahead and make sure you have the right tools for the job to save you a trip back to the auto parts store.

Your Retail Store. Retail auto supply chains typically have the broadest selection and the lowest prices of any of the brick and mortar retailers. Your best option for a good buy is when something is on sale; stock items will cost you the prevailing retail rate, but that is the price you pay for convenience. Overhead [buildings, labor] is high even with most national retailers.

You'll find that some new parts need to be ordered. This may be due to a number of reasons, including assembly time or difficulty locating the part. This is often the case when it is built by a small-sized O.E.M. (Original Product Manufacturer). By contrast, you can buy used car parts from a variety of sources and often have the part ready for installation immediately.

Your Options Galore: At an online auto parts marketplace, there's an abundance of suppliers offering millions of products. Hence the chances of your finding exactly what you're looking for and of the quality you desire, are much higher. Compare this to a visit to a brick 'n' mortar auto parts store which can only house as much variety of products as the floor space warrants.

However, if you can find your way through all that, it's likely that you will have a one of a kind car whose likeness will never be seen again. After all, who could possibly imagine a lowered chromed out 2000 Dodge Caravan with a cool racing strip and a growl of some serious horsepower coming from underneath the hood.
