3 Core Steps for Buying Auto Parts (with Selection Tools)
1. Clarify "3 Key Pieces of Information" First to Avoid Fitment Errors
Confirm these core parameters before purchasing — missing any may lead to rework:
Vehicle Model & Year: Be specific to the exact model (e.g., Toyota Camry 2020) instead of vague labels like "Universal for Toyota"
Part Specifications: Refer to the original equipment code (OE code) or industry standards (e.g., SAE JIC, BSP), and prioritize products with clear coding
Application Scenario: Distinguish between repair replacement (requiring OE-level precision) and modification upgrade (focusing on performance enhancement)
2. Evaluate Part Quality from 3 Dimensions & Avoid "Low-Price Traps"Low-priced parts often hide hidden costs (such as frequent malfunctions and after-sales disputes). It is recommended to evaluate from the following dimensions:
Material & Craftsmanship: Check details in product photos (e.g., joint welds, surface treatment). High-quality parts will clearly mark material composition (e.g., brass, stainless steel)
Certification Qualifications: Whether it has passed ISO/TS16949 automotive industry quality certification. Export products must comply with target market standards (e.g., EU E-Mark, US DOT)
Manufacturer Strength: Prioritize suppliers with production photos and factory qualification displays to avoid price markups from middlemen (Click to watch our production workshop video)
