How to Purchase Auto Parts for Your Vehicle

Car

Many people go into an auto part store to purchase automotive parts for their vehicle and don't have the correct information pertaining to their vehicle. First you need to know the name of the part you want to purchase. Now you need to know the year, make and model of your vehicle. This is very important; you need to know exactly what size engine you have. Many people will say it's a six cylinder. This doesn't work any more; because today they make several six cylinders. So you will need to know exactly which motor you have in your vehicle. Possibly you will need to have the Vin. number from your vehicle. For example if you have a Nissan almost always you will be asked for a Vin. #. Sometimes you will need to know the wheel base and possibly the size tire. My business has experienced this. I will tell you where to find this information.

Than go to the front of the vehicle and reach under the hood to find a lever and will require you to pull to the right or pull lever upward to release the hood all the way and lift up. Now you are looking for a sticker that is going to tell you the engine size of the vehicle.

Now if you need to know the wheel base of your vehicle; this information can be found on the inside of the driver's door. If not there than you will need a measuring tape and possibly another person to help hold the measuring tape at one end. You want to measure from front wheel to the rear wheel of the vehicle. From center of hub cap (front wheel) to the center of the hub cap (rear wheel).
