Where can i take my car to get parts installed?

Posted in: car parts | | 6 Comments »>

I dont know a thing about installing car parts, so where can i take the car to get fixed up after i get the parts. Should i go to places like autozone or pep boys. Or just local auto body shops? BTW im talkin about basic car parts and performance parts like air filters, spark plugs, or things like cold air intakes.

air filters, spark plugs and cold air intakes you can do yourself. if your not confident enough then get a haynes manual at autozone for 20 bucks. they’re vehicle specific and pretty well laid out

What is the least expensive car to buy parts for (cheapest car parts)?

Posted in: car parts | | 4 Comments »>

I live in united states so keep that in mind but if you live outside the US I would still be interested to find out the same info for where you are from. With all the expense of fuel and maintenance for vehicles today I got to wondering, If I bought a cheap little car, would I pay through the nose on parts to fix it if the need arose? No sense getting great gas mileage when the parts to fix problems cost so much that it is a wash right?

The problem with buying a car because the repair parts are cheap is that they are cheap for a reason. A car that needs parts on a regular basis are the bread and butter for car parts houses. The demand is there so the return on the investment for tooling and such is higher so the parts cost less.
When buying a car I look at repair records for cars. This is why I tend to buy Fords and Mazda cars. Yes, sometimes I have to wait for a while to get parts. But they do not often need them. They may even cost more, but they last longer.
Also, it is just not how cheap the part is, there is also the point that needs to be made over where replacement parts are bought. Not all parts houses have the same quality parts, even salvage yards vary on quality of parts resold for use.
You are on the right track, but the scope of the problem (answer) is bigger then at first glance.

Poll – Do you buy your car parts off a website or a cap parts retail shop?

Posted in: car parts | | 5 Comments »>

For either answer why do you find this more convienient and please post a link to the website or car parts shop.

If you buy off a main dealer are you satisifed with prices, service, etc?
Typo "car", not cap!

For now I am stuck with Autozone and other chain stores.I am not satisfied mostly with the service and the quality of parts.The people behind the counters are usually rejects from a convenience store that know nothing about cars.I don’t buy from dealers, sometimes I go to websites.

The best stores are the smaller privately owned ones.They really want your buisness and it shows.The guys are usually very helpful, and friendly, and know what you need.Prices may be a bit higher but it’s well worth it when you get the right thing every time and it’s not Chinese garbage.

Is it possible to build a simple go cart out of car parts?

Posted in: car parts | | 2 Comments »>

After I build the frame, would i be able to build the rest (steering,rear axle, centrifugal clutch, brakes system, gas pedal system, etc) from an old car sitting in the trees? If I took all the parts from the car? I plan on using an auger engine or maybe an old lawnmower or dirtbike engine.

Most of the parts would be way too heavy duty and just plain too heavy for the go-kart. Remember that most karts will weigh 100-200 pounds and a car will be 20 times that heavy.

How many people in the US are buying car parts online and fixing their cars themselves?

Posted in: car parts | | 1 Comment »>

I am curious as to how many people domestically are buying individual car parts online and fixing their cars (or having the part and car brought to a service center) rather then bringing the car into a dealer or service center (paying for both parts and labor @ the shop price).

Can anyone give me a solid number on this?

Thanks

I do, so there is 1.
