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.

Next on our to-do list is the air filter. This is another easy thing to do. Under the hood of your car there is a big black box with some clips on it. Just unclip the top of the box and you have found your air filter. Most of them slide out pretty easily and you can check to see how dirty it is. You can blow it out or vacuum it, but if the manual says it's time to change it you probably should. The last time someone at a repair shop wanted to change it for me I said now and I was glad I did. They wanted $40 to do it! I went to an use car purchase store instead and bought one for $15 and put it in myself. It took less than 30 minutes including the amount of time it took to buy it and I saved $25. So now you can save $25 and get better gas mileage.

Of course this has caused many health issues to crop up. We are swamped with obesity. We are not getting the exercise we should be getting to stay healthy and fit. Along with this comes illness and diseases caused by obesity and lack of circulation in the body. Heart disease, Diabetes and Digestive issues to name a few are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to health issues caused by out lack of movement ad by our dependency on four wheels. Even when it may be faster to walk or take a bus due to traffic conditions or weather, we prefer to sit in a car without moving than to get out and walk to where we need to go. When we pull into a parking lot we immediately start searching for the parking spot closest to our location so that we should not have to walk a few extra feet to our destination.

auto parts store Another important thing is to check different resources such as the website of the parts manufacturer. In most cases, you can find helpful information on their site that can help you gain lots of knowledge about the parts that you require. Some of the resources are available in the form of helpful videos.

The Markets Are Open 24 x 7 x 365 or 6!: You don't need to figure out the working hours of any online store, or wait till they open, or hurry before they close. It's just you and an online connection that you need. So if you're one of those nocturnal beings then an online automotive parts store is just the right place for you.

You should invite new friends as often as possible. Browse for people that match your audience. For instance, if you have a business that offers discount auto parts, search for people who are likely to need auto parts. If you specialize in vintage parts, you may be looking at a different age group. Know your target audience well as you search.

There are a lot of places online that offer "how to's" on basic auto repair. If you aren't familiar with doing your own auto repair, you may talk to other people in the parts store, the local garages, at car shows, cruise nights, swap meets, etc.

Please be aware that the vehicles manufacturer does not always manufacture the car parts you are replacing. For example, many cars have Bosch fuel injectors installed in the vehicle by the manufacturer. In these cases, Bosch fuel injectors are the genuine replacement. If you buy your fuel injectors from Ford, they may come in Ford packaging even though they are Bosch injectors. If you buy online and receive them in packaging such as Bosch, that does not mean they are not genuine.

When shopping for clutch kits consider: wholesalers, dealers, parts stores and online. You want to compare the various prices, but wholesalers are most likely to give you the best prices especially if you want to buy a complete kit. When shopping online, you may want to consider checking to see if the websites you are shopping on are wholesalers.
