One of the great things about Chevy cars is that they are built to last, evidenced by several decades-old vehicles still chugging stubbornly along. Of course, no cars ever remain in pristine condition, as auto parts do wear down over time. Since finding replacements when you drive an older vehicle is challenging, here’s what you can do.
Order from a Parts Department
To make your life a lot easier, you should order car parts from a Chevy dealership like Phelps Chevrolet. This is beneficial for several reasons.
- When you talk to a parts professional, you will get expert advice.
- We know precisely what your car needs.
- We sell OEM parts, so you can trust their quality, fit, and finish.
- We install what we sell.
- Parts are available for older models for longer than most folks realize.
Go Online
Of course, Chevrolet has been in business since 1911, and they can’t support every model forever – that’d be tens of millions of parts. When your dealership can’t order a component, you may be able to find alternatives online. These include:
- Aftermarket parts
- Remanufactured or rebuilt parts
- NOS (new old stock) components
Because you want to be sure of the quality, it’s best to speak to a Chevy dealer. We can refer you to trustworthy sellers, so you’re not taking your chances. Remember that shipping costs can be high, especially for larger or heavier components.
Peruse Junkyards
You probably have a junkyard in your area, but this should be your last resort. Many cars end up in junkyards due to a lack of resale value stemming from neglect, accident damage, or a salvage title, so the parts you find here won’t be the best quality. Proceed with extreme caution (and probably a tetanus booster).
