Every car owner sooner or later faces the need to purchase car parts. You can go to the store and buy the necessary part, or you can visit the market and select the necessary goods there. What should you pay attention to when visiting the car market, and how to behave correctly so as not to become the owner of a cheap, but not too high-quality thing?

Step 1
Be careful - fakes and refurbished parts are often sold in the markets. Many non-compliant parts (such as ball joints or steering linkages) can directly affect driving safety.
Step 2
If you are not very good with cars, ask someone in the know to come with you. It is very good if it is an employee of the car service where you are going to put the car for repair. If you can't find a professional repairman, look for an experienced car owner who can insure you.
Step 3
When visiting the car market on your own, be sure to pay attention to how the goods are stored. For example, chemical products should not be outside during the cold season. You should not purchase parts if they are piled on the ground or scattered around in a large box. Such parts can be purchased from "left-wing" manufacturers who are not too worried about the quality of the goods, or purchased at a reduced price in large industries due to defects. Look for the parts that are in the package. This is not a prerequisite, but it can guarantee an acceptable quality of the part.
Step 4
Check parts for traces of fresh paint. Find out in advance how this or that detail should ideally look and do not hesitate to consider it. Ask the seller for a check. This will help you change the defective product without any problems. Be sure to remember who exactly you buy the parts from.
Step 5
Do not be afraid to buy accessories and parts from the market that do not affect your driving safety. In this case, you do not lose anything, but, on the contrary, you save - the price in the store will obviously be higher. Stay alert and do not be distracted by the seller's stories about the unsurpassed quality of his goods. Rely only on yourself, on your experience and knowledge.
