Aftermarket Auto Body Parts
Whenever a car needs some bodywork, a lot of the owners choose to go to the dealership’s service department in order to fix it. Going there means that you will be getting OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer car parts. Your alternative is to head down to an independent shop where you will probably get aftermarket auto body parts. These are not sourced from the maker of your car and the ones which are direct replacement parts will not void the warranty of the vehicle.

The advantages that these aftermarket car body parts have to offer begin with the more affordable price tag when compared to the OEM parts. The amount of money that you can save generally depends on the brand so it is best to do some comparison shopping and find out how much a certain body part usually costs.
The quality of an aftermarket car body part can be equal or even better than the one of an OEM part. In some cases, you could end up buying a more affordable part that is also of higher quality in comparison to its OEM sibling.
Another reason why some people decide to go for the aftermarket parts is because the variety is huge as there are hundreds of firms that produce these parts. While some of them are specialized in manufacturing certain parts, others companies are selling just about any type of car part that you can think of. More variety means a wider range of prices so most likely you will find something that meets your budget and preferences.

The last advantage would have to be that these aftermarket auto body parts are usually easier and faster to buy since you won’t have to wait a long time until the part that you want is shipped.
There are several downsides that you will have to take into consideration, like the fact that some of the parts do not come with warranty since the manufacturer is trying to keep the costs down to a minimum. In addition, the quality of these aftermarket auto body parts can varies greatly and you usually get what you pay for so avoid buying the cheapest one you can find. If you are new to aftermarket brands, it can be a little overwhelming to choose from the long list of aftermarket car parts produces, but you can solve this issue by contacting your mechanic.

Advance Auto Parts
I have written an article related to the discounts offered by the Advance Auto Parts company and I believe that there are some other things to say about this campaign. The website of this company is advanceautoparts.com, where you can find information related to this campaign. Basically, you can receive discounts up to $30 or $50 coupons.
I have already mentioned what are the conditions for you to get these discounts and right now I would like to focus on how to use the coupons that you can receive. Obviously, if you qualify for a $30 discount, you will receive the discount for the product that you're buying before October 15, 2011. So if you're buying a car battery that is $X, you will pay for that battery $X-$30. Plus, you can also receive the free shipping option, if you live in the United States of America. But for the $50 coupon, things are different, because you will get the coupon and you will use it for your next purchases, not for the current one. If you buy products that are more than $100 (before October 15), you qualify for the $50 coupon, that will be sent to you via the e-mail system on October 26, 2011.

You have to know that the coupon must be used on the same site for buying products offered by Advance Auto Parts, but until November 25, 2011. When you register on this site, because you have to be registered in order to receive the coupon, you have to be sure that you have give a valid e-mail address,to receive the coupon. But what happens if you buy a product before October 15, 2011, you qualify for the coupon, only that you decide to return the product back to the seller?
Advanced Auto Parts Etna Pa (Source: iusedautoparts.com)
What happens in this situation? Will you have the possibility of using the coupon? Of course, if the product or products will be returned exactly as they were sent to the buyer, you will have the possibility of using that coupon.
However, if the product has damage, the company will block the user from using that coupon. But these are the promotions of this company, now when they celebrate 2 years of activity. They normally use all sorts of discounts that they offer to their customers or potential customers. I can come up with only one example, but there are many: if you register on the site and refer a friend, you get $10.

You can shop product from this site in a very easy way. But before starting to purchase products, it would be preferable to select the year of your car, the manufacturer or the maker, as the people that work in the automotive industry say, the model of the car and the engine. I don't know why do you have to select the engine, if you want to get a door or mirror, but this is the policy of the site and if you want to buy products from here, you have to respect it.
The first year that is included in this list is 1958; I have presented earlier another side from where you can buy products for your car even if the car was released on market in 1942. It seems that this new site that I present today, hiresautomotive.com, allows you to buy products for the cars that were released in 1958 and after.
Hires Auto Parts (Source: allworldcars.com)
Let's see what are the brands that release car in those days. The only brand that is included in the list is Volkswagen. And the models are Beetle and Karman Ghia. If you select the second option, the engine will be automatically placed in that part where you have to select the engine (probably there is only one engine version), and a new page with replacement parts will be opened.

B&b Auto Parts
If you're interested in some very good auto parts, the B&B Auto Parts company is ready to offer them to you. You can find them at this next address: bbautoparts.com. The interface of the site is as simple as you need it. The first thing that you must do is to select the year of your vehicle; I could add that you have to select the year of release of your vehicle, because you can have the car since 1992 and the car to be released on market on 1961. Anyway, the first year that is provided in this list is 1942, which means that if you have a car that was released on market in 1941, you will not be capable of finding any parts for your car. In fact, I believe that if you have a car released in 1942, which is the first year included in the list on this site, you probably won't find too many parts, because we are talking about a classic car, which is not that popular nowadays, in 2011.
And if the car is not that popular, the auto parts that are still created for it or that are found online or in physical stores are even less popular. This is why for today I have selected a car that was released in 1942. I'm very curious to see if the auto parts created for the classic cars are still ready to be bought online.
B&b Auto Parts (Source: images.gasgoo.com)
So with the click on 1942, you will be directed to a new page, where it is said that you can find the auto parts for your car released in 1942, if you select the brand that has manufactured the car. It seems that there is no other brand than Chevrolet presented in that list. And not only Chevrolet, but a truck. So, you have the possibility of seeing what are the auto parts created for a truck made by Chevrolet.
Let's see if we are lucky and if we discover something. Yes, we are lucky indeed, because there are more than 10 accessories created for Chevrolet. I will start with an accessory drive belt, I will continue with the alternator, brake parts, brake hoses, brake shoes, break wheel cylinders, brake wheel cylinders repair kit, clutch, cooling water pumps, engine gaskets, fuel and fuel pumps and radiators coolant hoses. Enough parts for everyone, if you have a Chevrolet from 1942.

The problem is how are you going to verify these product as long as you order them online? In this situation, it remains to trust the seller, because the products will be verified only when you will receive them.

Advanced Auto Parts Stores
The auto parts stores that are related to the Advance Group can be encountered on the site of the company: advanceautoparts.com. You have the possibility of selecting your store from the very beginning you enter this site. You can see that there are 4 tabs that are presented at the top of the screen, tabs representing your vehicle, your store, your account and your shopping cart that is empty, if you don't have an account on that site. But if you are interested in the stores of this company, you have to click on Your Store.
The selection can be done easily simply by writing the ZIP code of your area; because I don't live in the United States and I don't know how the postal office works or how the ZIP code are created, I will type the code that I know since I was a little girl, which is the code of Beverly Hills. Yes, you're right, I have been watching Beverly Hills, the series. And I remember that the ZIP code of that area was 90210. So this is what I will write and then I will click on Find. I will wait for several seconds to see where is the store located in that area, positioned. The Beverly Hills area is large, so if you want to get to an auto parts store, you must know the exact location, if you don't want to wander around.
Advanced Auto Parts Stores (Source: static.cargurus.com)
Unfortunately, I see that there is no Advance Auto Parts store in that area, but you have to possibility of selecting a store to match your criteria. And these are: the address of the store (if you know it), the city where the store should be located, you can write your own city, the state and taking into consideration the ZIP code.
Also you have the possibility of selecting the radius in which the store should be located in order to find it quickly. You can set the radius to be 0 if you want the store to be located only in Beverly Hills, or you can set it to be of 50 miles, 10 miles, 25 miles, 100 miles, if you agree to travel 100 miles to go to an Advance Auto Parts store.
Advanced Auto Parts Stores (Source: 2.bp.blogspot.com)
Most likely, if you search the Internet in order to find a store in a certain area, a store that is managed
by a certain company in the automotive industry, you don't know the address of that store, because if you knew it, you would not search for it. So the localization of a store taking into consideration the address should not be taken into account.

Columbus Auto Parts
As long as you're searching for Columbus Auto Parts on Google or on your favorite search engine, you may have the surprise to not find the site that is really the site of this company, but other sites. This happens because the name of the company is actually Columbus Auto Resale Inc.
The interface of this site is black, the site looks pretty ok to me and I can see and tell where a site is designed with love or not and this site is definitely created by a designer that is very good. You can access the site by yourself at this address: colsauto.com. The first page that will be loaded is index.htm. I run Mozilla Firefox and I can see that the site is loaded pretty quickly and every information presented by the site appears on the screen of my computer. This is why I have said in this article that this site is developed by someone that really knows his or her job. But enough with the presentation of the site in question, let's present a little bit the vehicles that are taken into consideration by them.
Columbus Auto Parts (Source: 3.bp.blogspot.com)
The tabs that are presented at the top of the screen are related to the inventory of the site, to cars that are under 10K, to the possibilities of getting loans in order to buy a car and they are also related to the information about this company. If you want to sell your car, they say that they will buy your car today.
What I love about the site (another thing that I love about this site) is the fact that you can watch the video reviews. Every day or at least every 2 days, when I write articles related to cars and to auto sites, I get to meet all sorts of interfaces and let me tell you that this is the first site related to the automotive industry, that actually presents to you some video reviews about a car or another.
Columbus Auto Parts (Source: insightcarsmodels.com)
I know that there are some sites that have video descriptions, presenting to you information about how to change the battery of a car, how to change the oils, how to verify the fluids in your car by yourself and others, even though they don't recommend these things to be done if you are not a technician. I could add something to this statement: “If you are a woman, you should address to a man or better said to a technician”. The vehicles that are presented on this site are Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac and Chrysler.

Kanter Auto Parts
They say about the company that I will present today, company that is related to auto parts and automotive industry, that allows you to buy classic antique auto restoration parts. I'm talking about Kanter Auto Parts, company that has a site that is accessible at kanter.com. Obviously, more information about this company and their products can be found online, but if you want to read our article too, I can tell you in a few phrases what are the most important products that you can buy from there and I will present several prices of those products.
Nevertheless, I have to invite you to enter that site, because only there you can find replacement mechanical and interior parts for your American car. When you enter the site, please check out the information about the company, not only about the the product that can be bought from here. I always like to read more about the companies that I present every day and also about their products, but before starting to read about a certain product, I like to know who developed that product.
Kanter Auto Parts (Source: northwestrestorations.com)
You have the possibility of browsing the latest catalog online, of printing that can all and receiving products from this company with a free shipping. This is possible only in the United States and only for the products that are order online; as far as I can see this promotion is not going to last too long, so if you want to benefit of this, you should order your product right now.
If you know what is the part that you are looking for, you can select your search by providing the name of your manufacturer. Let's say that your car is manufactured by Chevrolet; after you provide them the name of the manufacturer, obviously you have to select the year of release, which is 1995 in our case. If you want to get an airbag or a product that can be used in a 1996 Chevrolet or perhaps in a 1990 Chevrolet, you can click on the All Years option and you will see the entire list with accessories and parts for Chevrolet that is available on the site.
Kanter Auto Parts (Source: 3.bp.blogspot.com)
If you select 1995, you will see the same list only that with a lower amount of products. The list contains information related to general accessories, engine parts, Packard parts, shock absorbers, brake system parts, carpets and upholstery, convertible tops, fuel systems, clutch exhaust system, front-end kits, weatherstrip kits, overhaul kits and more.

Kragan Auto Parts
Even if we are requested to write an article about the Kragan Auto Parts company, I will write about Kragen Auto Parts, because this is the correct name of the company; in fact, I would not write about that company either, because it has been taken by another company and about that another company I will speak in this article. I'm talking about O’Reilly Auto Parts. This company is accessible at this next address: oreillyauto.com. Even if I have spoken about this site many times before, because this company has bought a lot of other companies and when I write about those, I read about O’Reilly instead, I will talk about it one more time, because there are a lot of information presented there and never enough time to present them all. This is why I will correct this mistake today and in the articles that I will write about this company.
I have already presented the steps that you have to take into account when you search for a certain part in the inventory that is presented on the site, so I will not come back and present those steps one more time. I have also presented the services that are offered by this company to their customers or potential customers, so again I will not focus on the services provided by the company.
Kragan Auto Parts (Source: images2.citysearch.net)
But what is going to be presented in this article if I don't present the auto parts that can be bought from here and also if I don't present the services offered by the company? It appears that you have to read the next paragraphs if you want to discover this.
I will present more about the store locators, because this is an important company in the United States and because you must know where to go when you want to get a specific auto part for your car. You have to provide them with your ZIP code or if you don't know it, although you can discover it online, you have to type your city and select the state where you live, because there can be two cities that have the same name, yet are in different states and then you have to select the distance in miles.
Kragan Auto Parts (Source: images2.citysearch.net)
Because when I was a little girl I watched a TV series, that was named Beverly Hills 90210, I will search for the stores that are in that area, using that code. Yes, there are plenty of locations there, starting with Culver City, Los Angeles, North Hollywood, Santa Monica, Van Nuys, Burbank, Inglewood, continuing with Canoga Park, Northridge, La Crescenta and ending with Panorama City, Sunland, Hawthorne.

63 Chevy Auto Parts
If you're searching for Chevrolet parts, let me tell you that you will find plenty of sites on the Internet that allow you to buy Chevy auto parts. Because I don't have enough time and also no room in this article to speak about all the sites that are presented on the Internet that allow you to buy auto parts for your car, I have selected only one site that is named discountchparts.com, site that allows you to check the inventory in order to find Chevy parts and Chevy accessories.
The first page that you see when you access the site shows you a performance catalog and also a replacement catalog. The step one is already performed, because if you search on Google for Chevy or Chevrolet auto parts, the first moment when you will enter the site that I have named, at the step one, you will see that there is already selected Chevy or Chevrolet. Of course, you can select other brands of cars, such as Buick, Cadillac, Chrysler and so on. After selecting the car brand, you have to select the year; because I have understood that you're interested in 1963 auto parts for your Chevrolet, I have selected obviously ‘63.
63 Chevy Auto Parts (Source: niksnaxs.com.au)
Then, you will be directed to another page where you have to select a model for your Chevrolet; that are 10 models from which you have to choose. The first one is Bel Air, then we have Corvair, Impala, Van Full-Size, Biscayne, Corvette, Pick Up Full-Size, Chevy II Nova, El Camino and Suburban. Let's say that we selected the Bel Air version; after this, we have to select a part that interests you. Because I don't know what is the exact part or the exact location in the car where you need a new replacement part, I will present several of them, just to let you know that here you can find almost anything in terms of Chevrolet.
63 Chevy Auto Parts (Source: ecx.images-amazon.com)
For example, you can get some air conditioning brackets, air conditioning condensers, accessory polishers, adapters, cables, lamps, sanders, vacuum, mirrors, alternators, camshaft, brake drums, car covers, cargo bars, clutches, coil springs, consoles and more. Let's select one and see what happens.
I have selected for example the battery clips; simply click on them and see what contains the page that will be opened. In my situation, there will be a blank page, which means that there are no products available for a Chevrolet from 1963 that can be included in the Battery Clips category.
