Auto Theft - 10 Easy Steps To Avoid Getting Your Own Vehicle Stolen

In the case of a garage, you can bring your own auto parts! I only recently learned this while doing the marketing for an online parts store.

Let us start with ease of obtaining. Obviously newer car parts will be easier to get than older ones. A friend of mine still has a 1975 Pontiac Lemans. To obtain parts for this car he has to literally go to junk yards and even online. No new car dealers keep parts beyond 10 years or so and even auto parts stores limit their inventory to cars under 20 years. A 30 year old vehicle is almost impossible to find parts for. Plus, if you can find the part, depending on where you get it, the cost could be anywhere from 20 to 100% over the original part cost. To say that late model car owners are taken advantage of would be a gross understatement.

auto parts store As for the price of auto parts, aside from the age of the vehicle there is the make and model. In this case foreign car parts are much more expensive than domestically made cars. Most people who buy foreign cars don't realize this or even think about it until it comes time to get their vehicle repaired. Then they get hit with the bill and their eyes pop out of their head. For example, an oil filer for a 2005 Buick Century is about $2.98. The same oil filter for a Honda CRV is $3.98. It's basically the same filter for the Honda but it costs $1.00 more. That comes out to a 33% markup on a relatively cheap part. Imagine that same 33% markup on a part that costs $60 for the Buick. You'd be paying about $80 for the same part for the Honda.

The Honda pre owned cars are tested and certified by the company itself; so one is assured of the reliability of the product. Thus one can get the same reliability, efficiency and ease of driving that Honda is famous for, at a reduced price.

For example, changing the oil in a car is often thought as something best left to the experts. While it's certainly possible to have your favorite auto service tech to this, the job only requires a few tools and takes only an hour at the most.
