What to Consider when Buying a New Part for Your Car

If you're looking for a new part for your car, whether that be for general repairs or upgrades, then you must make the right choices to prevent any wasted time or money. So, here are some things you should think about when buying new car parts.

What part do you need?

This may seem like an obvious one, but it has the potential to catch you out if you're not knowledgeable about cars in general. Each car may require a different type of the same part, and you must understand what part exactly you need for your car. For example, when it comes to manifolds, there are two types (turbo manifolds and log manifolds) and choosing the incorrect one will prove to be useless for your car. Thankfully, there are some easy ways to identify what you need. You could find the part code which will be listed on the part itself, find the VIN of your car to check the parts that it requires, or even just get an expert to look at the broken part to identify it for you.

Where will you get your part from?

If you've already looked into this online, then you may have come across some advice that tells you to buy second hand when it comes to your car parts. Whilst this may be a good option for those who know exactly what they need and have experience in the area, it presents a number of risks to those uninitiated. Instead, it's a safer bet to go straight to an expert who will be able to give you exactly what you need for a price that is accurate for the part, such as our team here at ECS Exhaust.

How much will your part cost?

One of the biggest risks about buying second hand from unverified sources is that you could be scammed on the price of the item, which is why we advise that you buy from reputable sources. For example, here at ECS Exhaust, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality, Australian-made car parts that don't break the bank for our customers.
