Over the last many years, car ownership in the global has grown exponentially and the market has seen a boom. Various segments such as compact cars, compact SUVs and premium hatchbacks have witnessed the arrival of new competitors.

Obviously, with car sales at such a high level, customers will also need spare parts, and not every customer will visit an authorised service centre when their vehicle warranty expires. Therefore, people will be looking for spare parts online or in aftermarket shops.

Therefore, if you are someone who wants to buy spare parts independently, keep the following list of things in mind to ensure you always get original car parts.

1. Check what you need

Firstly, you need to check what parts you need and how many parts you need. You need to be clear about this so you don't end up buying parts you don't need or missing out on the parts you really need. Assuming you are replacing the AC condenser in your car, check the other support parts needed to install the condenser (e.g. pipes, hoses, etc.) and order all the parts accordingly. It always helps to write down a list of the parts you need.

2. Research

Always do the groundwork. Once you've identified the parts you need, start researching them to see if there are alternatives from other well-known brands, price differences, whether it's cheaper to buy them online than offline, etc. You can also contact an authorised service station or get in touch with your local spare parts dealer to see if they have what you want. Compare the prices of different brands to ensure the auto parts are correctly compatible with your car.

3. OEM part numbers

It's always wise to write down the OEM part number. You can call an authorised service station to find the part number of any spare part. Some manufacturers even have their spare parts catalogues where you can easily find the part number for each spare part.

4. Check payment and shipping options

After adding the required parts to your shopping cart, always check the acceptable payment options so you have a clear idea of shipping costs (if any) and delivery schedules. This way, you can better plan and make appointments with your mechanic to have parts installed easily.

It is important to take care of your car in good time and always use original spare parts to maintain your car properly. Genuine spare parts provide optimum performance and are also reliable, reducing the likelihood of your car breaking down. If you use counterfeit parts just to save money, they are actually expensive in the long run as these cheap parts will cause more wear and tear that won't last long and can even cause more trouble, leading to huge repair bills as you stand your ground.
