Many times, car repair involves one specific auto part that is broken or starting to show signs that it’s on the way out. Preemptively replacing it will save an eventual breakdown as well as extend the life of your current vehicle. But this can necessitate purchasing surrounding parts essential to the faulty part, so you can end up shopping for more than one part. Other times, multiple replacement car parts are needed just to upgrade the look or performance of a well-loved car or truck, like new bumper covers or clear headlights to replace cloudy ones. Any time you shop for replacement auto parts, several concerns arise, including cost, availability of parts and accessory parts, shipping time, and fitment. For example:
New OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or OE (original Equipment) parts will be the most expensive and possibly hard to find, especially for an older car.
Aftermarket new parts will cost less, but there can sometimes be fit issues at installation.
Used auto parts will save money and most likely be exact-fit, genuine OEM and OE parts but with a degree of wear.
Shopping around for the lowest price for each individual part can be extremely time-consuming.
Multiple parts shipped from different locations can extend the time before you have the parts in-hand to make the repairs.
When faced with needing multiple auto parts for the same car, LKQ Online has the solution that will save time and money—shop multiple parts from one source vehicle.
Shop one source vehicle for multiple used auto parts
For online shopping at LKQ Online, start with a major part you want, like a used engine or fender and find the best match for your needs by searching the year, make, model, and VIN number of your car or truck. If you cannot find multiple parts from a single source vehicle, locating an identical source vehicle with lower mileage than yours is a good starting place for highly usable replacement parts. Find your desired part and click on the “More Info” blue button for an expanded description, fitment, and any alternate part number along with images of the donor vehicle to access damage. Then, you can directly search for additional parts from that same donor vehicle by following the “Click here if you would like to see more parts from this vehicle” link. This one action can save hours of search time by finding multiple same-vehicle parts in one place such as an AC condenser, hood hinges, and side view mirrors. Not every donor vehicle will show additional available parts, but when you find a match that does, it makes used car parts shopping so much easier.
Multiple parts from the same source car will probably ship from one location.
Genuine OEM and OE used auto parts will perfectly fit your car and retain its value.
LKQ salvaged used parts are visually inspected and stored to preserve the part’s integrity.
Used auto parts come with a six-month or 6,000-mile standard guarantee (excluding airbags, seat belt assemblies, and tires).
You may discover that you can get less-wear, newer-looking parts for your car that you weren’t planning to replace but now can’t resist!
