Holidays are here!
If you are trying not to spend all your Christmas shopping money on auto parts, a great way to save is to to buy used auto parts. There are many websites out there but we’re so glad you found us: Pete’s Auto Parts is a family owned & operated company, 30 employees strong, in West Michigan — but we ship across the country to where you need used auto parts. The quest for the right used auto parts can often lead to frustration due to issues with fitment, interchangeability, and the sheer complexity of finding the correct part for your vehicle. Not to mention expense. The great news is at Pete’s we provide a top-notch, maybe even, can we be so bold as to say, the #1 website to buy used auto parts?!
Searching Used Auto Parts Made Easy
When you navigate to our site, you will find the used auto parts search is really quite simple. You will select the year of your vehicle, the make and the model, and then the part type. Sometimes it can get a bit confusing with used auto parts is when the name of the part in our system is different than the name you would call it. For example, many of our customers use the term “cradle” to describe what we call an “engine crossmember,” so if you search for “cradle” it is not available as a part type! Even a transmission, our #2 selling art by dollar amount, is listed in the online system as a Transmission/Transaxle which is not what anyone we know would refer to the transmission as! We can’t help it that there are several parts like this where the terminology is different, but if you reach out to us, we can help. If you don’t see the part type you are looking for, text, call or email, we can let you know what the part type is called or even just search for the part for you, if you’d like, 616-669-6592.
Purchasing Used Auto Parts Made Easy
When you are ready to buy used auto parts, we make it simple. When ordering on our website, you’ll see the options to pay for the part with a credit card or Paypal, and you can even pay in installments. If you order through one of our local sales reps (phone, text or email,) then we’ll send you a secure payment link. After you pay, we get the part ready and then we ship it, deliver it, or text you to let you know it’s ready, depending on where you are located. We can even send you pictures of the part before we ship it. It’s really that easy to purchase used auto parts!
Used Auto Parts Limitations
Even the very best websites can have some problems ensuring precise fitment due to complexities of part interchangeability. For instance, a part that fits one vehicle model may also fit others under different brand names, such as many parts on a Kia Optima are the same on a Hyundai Sonata. Some other examples are BMWs and Mini Coopers share many parts, and of course Chevy and GMC parts often interchange, Ford and Mercury parts, etc. This range of fitment across models can work in your favor by offering lower-cost alternatives when replacing used auto parts.
We want to make sure you are selecting the correct part. When you search for parts at www.petesauto.net/parts/ or anyone else’s website for that matter, if you don’t select the correct part, you won’t get the right used auto parts. You are welcome to call or text us so we can do that work for you. Or if you want to do it yourself, you are welcome to. At Pete’s Auto Parts we tried to keep our website as simple as possible, guiding users through selecting their vehicle’s year, make, model, and specific options like engine size and fuel type. But one of the best ways to guarantee you’re ordering the right part is by using your vehicle identification number (VIN), which provides details unique to your vehicle.
The VIN Really Helps
Your VIN not only identifies your vehicle’s origin but also specifies its manufacturer, model, engine details, and more. At Pete’s Auto Parts, we utilize VINs comprehensively across all makes and models, ensuring accuracy in part selection for our customers. When you give us your VIN, we can ensure you are getting the right part on the first try!
How Much Can You Save on Used Auto Parts?
The answer is, it’s complicated! Every part is different. While some customers save thousands, others save hundreds, and some even save tens, lol. It just depends on what you are buying. And it depends on how much the new parts cost. There are some crazy expensive new parts, such as a 2012 Infiniti G25 the front seat new at the dealer is over $5,200! That seems absolutely insane to us, especially when you can purchase a good quality used seat for under $400. That is a savings of over 4k and it’s less than 1/10th the cost of new! But not every part is so extreme. A door for that same vehicle is $1969, and a used door is $300-400. Still a significant savings! A passenger sun visor for that same 2012 Infiniti G25 is $175, and the used options are right around $100. We would rather pay $100 than $175, used auto parts still offer savings, but not every part is a home run like that seat.
Wide Access to Used Auto Parts
While online shopping offers convenience, even the best websites to buy used auto parts cannot have every part in the world, and not every available part is listed on the Pete’s Auto Parts website. As part of a nationwide network of independently owned and operated recyclers called Team PRP, we have access to an extensive network of hundreds of thousands of parts, many of which can be shipped affordably through our specialized trucking system. If you need used auto parts, no matter what they are, we can usually get them! We have an in stock rate of 48%, meaning almost half the time people contact us we have the used auto parts they are looking for at our location in Jenison, Michigan, and we can prepare them for pickup, delivery, or shipment, and get them to you! Another 50% of the time, parts are available from our partner facilities in Team PRP and we can ship them in and QC check them, then send them to you, or in the case of our top tier partners, we can have them ship those used auto parts direct to you. 98% of the time we can provide the used auto parts you are looking to save on this holiday season.
