When repairing your vehicle, you'll be faced with the decision of whether to buy new or used auto parts.  Stewart’s Used Auto Parts in Barkhamsted, CT, knows that taking the time to understand the pros and cons of each option will ensure you make the right decision for your vehicle and your wallet.

Consider the following facts about new and used auto parts:

New Auto Parts

• Pros: New auto parts come with a warranty, giving you a new part at no charge if it fails. Also, new auto parts will give you the assurance that the part will fit perfectly on your vehicle.
• Cons: Brand new auto parts cost significantly more than used parts. In addition, larger parts are often not available at a local supply store. Instead, they will have to be ordered and shipped from the manufacturer, taking several days to arrive.

Used Auto Parts

• Pros: There is normally a large selection of used auto parts to choose from. They are typically available for immediate delivery since suppliers can take parts from vehicles they have in their inventory. Used auto parts also sell for less than new parts, saving you a substantial amount of money. We offer a 90-day guarantee on most parts. 
• Cons:  Some suppliers offer guarantees on some parts they sell. Also, since used auto parts are not new, they often have a shorter lifespan than new parts.
