Part Quality Checklist

Before purchasing or transporting parts home, ensure you inspect the following details:

• Check Casting & Part Numbers: Compare stamps side-by-side with your original component.
• Inspect Electrical Plugs: Ensure the pin counts match (e.g., 3-pin vs. 4-pin sockets on Honda alternators) and locking tabs are unbroken.
• Review Mechanical Status: Turn pulley wheels by hand to check for smooth bearing rotation (should be quiet, without grinding).
• Validate Engine History: Ask for the vehicle's VIN to run a free check on our VIN lookup tool to verify odometer readings and ensure it is not a salvage flood-titled car.
• Sell Your Old Vehicle: If your car is beyond repair, you can also sell your junk car for cash directly.
