Auto Parts 101


One of the first lessons we learned here at Autopartstomorrow.com when we opened up our wholesale auto parts inventory to the public was that we needed to get back to basics about what we called those parts. We have been selling to professionals for over 80 years, so when we used the acronym V.I.N. they already knew that was a Vehicle Identification Number. We cannot assume that everyone who needs to buy an auto part automatically knows what that auto part might be called. Even our parts catalogs sometimes call parts by different names. What may be a fuel pump to one may be called a sending unit to another. There are differences between the two if you know auto parts, but that is just semantics to a customer who needs help.

As a result, I am always on the lookout for resources that help explain the basics on auto parts. An educated customer is more likely to buy their auto parts from us. With that in mind I was excited to find this article on the carinsurance.org web page. It is thorough and easy to understand... and quite helpful on a very basic level. Perfect as a tool for our beginning customers. Check out the site at http://www.carinsurance.org/parts-of-a-car/ and if you have any further questions do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-547-2052.
