Buy new, used & scrap yard parts for your car, van or motorcycle

When it comes to auto parts, the sides are determined by the driver's position in the vehicle, looking forward. That is, looking over the bonnet, and sitting in the driver's seat, his left hand is the left side, his right hand is the right side.

A properly reconditioned engine or gearbox can save you a lot of money and give you the safety you are looking for on the road. It is usually best to use a reconditioned engine or gearbox, as a new one usually requires stripping and dismantling, deep cleaning, and then replacement of necessary parts prior to build.

OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer. This means that the parts are manufactured by the same company that produces the car, motorcycle or truck. On the other hand, aftermarket parts are made by a parts company other than the original manufacturer. Typically, these parts are manufactured with the intention of being compatible with as many vehicle makes and models as possible. While aftermarket parts are much cheaper and 100% safe, it is also true that OEM parts offer a superior fit.

When we talk about new vehicle parts, we can refer to new OEM, genuine or aftermarket components that are going to be used for the first time. Typically, new auto parts turn out to be newer and more up-to-date components, offering more confidence than older models and offering additional functionality. The expectation in this case is that you can use them for many years without problems.

These new parts also often ensure proper performance and it will be a long time before you have to worry about wear and tear. They are more expensive than used parts, but make up for it with a longer lifespan.

Used vehicle parts are obtained from retired cars or from vehicles that have been in some type of accident, but still have parts in good condition. These parts are compatible for specific vehicles and are usually of better quality than aftermarket new vehicle parts.

In the UK, around 80% of independent garages use used parts to repair damaged vehicles. The reason for this is that they fully trust these parts when supplied by reputable and reliable sources rather than aftermarket parts from little-known manufacturers.

Undoubtedly, used car parts provide a huge advantage over new: price. If your vehicle is older, it will be easy to find the parts you are looking for from reputable UK salvage yards and other used car parts sellers.

Our experience in the used auto parts business has revealed that most of these second hand parts are a great way to save quite a bit of money, but more importantly, they are a way to ensure that the parts you are installing in your vehicle meet the same quality standards that the original manufacturer deemed fit for your car.
