Know How to Buy Genuine Honda Parts without Getting Screwed

Cars are one of the most luxurious items one can have and so is its maintenance. For initial 2 years you brand new car may not ask for repair or replacement. However, sooner or later cars need replacement of some or the other part [mostly it starts with shockers and wipers].  This is where most of the car owners who call dealerships often get screwed while replacing the parts of their car. For instance a trim piece that costs somewhere around $5 to make might be priced triple or even four times the amount when sold at the retail shops. And people pay the amount only because they don’t have time to look around for better options. Here are some tips that can help you buy genuine Honda accessories without getting screwed.

On car part, when you’ve selected the product you’re willing to buy click ‘Distance’ and the ‘Search’ this will help you to see the market price of that particular part in your area. Then go do eBay and do the same. Then see which dealer is offering the lowest price and shortlist a few.

2. Verify in supplier in the First Place

Craigslist or the directories are not always helpful. These just have summarized contact details of people, shops and hospitals, but when it comes to the real world visiting junkyards in person or buying genuine Honda OEM parts online works best, as what you buy in craigslist might not give you flexibility to exchange the part or return the money.
