Most Requested Auto Parts

Here in Northern California, used auto parts needs vary with the season. Some of the most common parts that need replacing include:

• Door handles
• Sparkplugs
• Brake discs
• Catalytic converters
• Remoteless key entry units
• Tires.

Your vehicle – and driving habits – are unique. Car part needs will depend on your driving habits; your vehicle; and the type of wear and tear you put on the car. For instance, if you drive long distances into the mountains, on rocky terrain, your suspension may get rattled. On the other hand, if you get stuck a lot in city traffic, your braking system may wear faster than normal.

Diagnosing Car Part Problems

Unfortunately, identifying car part problems can be challenging and non-intuitive. A problem with your catalytic converter, for instance, can clog the exhaust pipe, which can manifest as a “bad smell” in your car. If you just notice the exhaust problem, you won’t necessarily be able to “work backwards” to figure out that your catalytic converter is in trouble. In other words, the symptom of damage can be far from the cause.

That’s why it’s helpful to examine car parts that commonly need repair – such as brakes, sparkplugs, catalytic converters, door handles, and the like. After all, odds are that your problem is common, not exotic.
