Auto Parts commonly replaced

Every car maker has their own set of most auto parts that commonly fail or that should be replaced on a regular basis. You should consult your owner’s manual for the intervals for the auto parts to be replaced on a regular basis according to the Service Schedule. If you do not have an owner’s manual, make sure to always consult with a Professional. Vehicle maintenance is very important in the life of your vehicle. From A/F Sensors to Serpentine Belts to Wiper Blades, every auto part eventually fails. Buying after market auto parts as opposed to Dealer original parts can save you money. In most cases, the after market version of the part is just as good of quality, if not better in some cases, and most parts will come with a warranty. Below is a list of the more commonly replaced auto parts across all the makes and models and the most common items found on most vehicle’s service schedule.

 

A/F Sensor / Oxygen Sensor A/F (Air/Fuel Ratio) Sensors and Oxygen Sensors have many jobs. They monitor the Catalytic Converter and they also play a role in fuel economy by delivering information about the fuel and air content in the exhaust. Having a worn or failing Oxygen or A/F Sensor can effect your MPG’s.

Serpentine Belt The Serpentine Belt is the belt that you can easily see. It drives all of the engine’s pulleys to control various things for different car makers, such as the power steering pump, alternator, water pump and/or A/C compressor. Keeping this belt in good condition is a great preventative maintenance idea.

Spark Plugs Your spark plugs are a major component in the system. If spark plugs are to wear, engine performance issues, lower fuel economy and cylinder misfires can occur. Always follow your maintenance service schedule for the recommended interval at which to replace your spark plugs.

Brake Pads Advanced friction formula designed to withstand greater heat and reduce fade for shorter stopping distance and longer life.

Air Filter Air filters are made with high efficiency heavy duty filter media which dramatically reduces the amount of dirt passing through the filter and provide exceptional overall contaminant removal.

Cabin Air Filter The air you breathe inside your vehicle is 6x more polluted than the air outside. Cabin Air Filters trap virtually 100% of all exhaust fumes, allergens and pollutants before they reach you and your passengers.

Fuel Filter Fuel filters allow for efficient fuel delivery performance. From plastic fuel filters on carbureted vehicles to high technology filtration designed for today’s fuel injection systems.

Ignition Coil Coils produce high voltage necessary to ignite air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Faulty ignition coils are a main cause of cylinder misfires.

Oil Filter When your oil breaks down, damaging dirt and particles can threaten the life of your engine. Make sure to replace your engine oil and filter at regular intervals.

Wiper Blades Precision-cut, specially blended natural rubber wiping edge removes even the smallest droplets for clear visibility and safer driving.

Battery When choosing a battery make certain it meets Cold Cranking Amps and Reserve Capacity ratings to meet or exceed your vehicle’s original specifications.
