9 Best Websites for Used Car Parts of 2026

Car-Part.com ranks first because it answers the core question of used parts shopping: which salvage yard has the part and what does it cost. You pick a year, make, model and part, or enter a VIN with SmartVin, and the site searches recycler inventories that its homepage puts at 250 million parts. Results can be sorted by distance, part grade, damage, mileage, price and year, and Car-Part Interchange Plus tells you which other vehicles used the same part, which often turns up a cheaper match. If nothing is listed, a Request Quote form sends your request to recyclers. Repair shops get Car Part Pro, which the vendor says is free to professional repairers and mechanical shops and adds live chat, delivery dates and seller certifications based on warranty, refund and shipping policies. The tradeoff is that Car-Part.com is a directory, not a store: you contact and pay each recycler, so warranties, shipping and returns vary, and some listings show "$Call" instead of a price.

eBay Motors is the easiest way to buy a used part online without visiting a yard. eBay runs a Sell your parts program and a sales hub for parts sellers, so one search often shows used parts next to new and remanufactured options. Adding your vehicle to My Garage filters results to items that fit, and eBay's page says items that fit through My Garage qualify for free returns. eBay Guaranteed Fit and the eBay Money Back Guarantee add protection that most single salvage yards cannot match. The eBay Motors app covers the same catalog on a phone, and the site can also book tire installation. The weak points come from the marketplace model: each seller writes their own description, photos and return terms, so a used engine from one seller can be well documented while another listing has a single photo. Freight on heavy parts such as engines and doors can also add a lot to the total, so compare delivered prices.

LKQ Online is the store front for recycled parts from LKQ's salvage operations, and its strongest point is consistency. Instead of comparing return terms across dozens of yards, you buy from one company with one policy. Its FAQ says all items except airbags, seat belt assemblies and tires carry a free six-month warranty, and that LKQ will replace, repair or refund a defective part. A separate 30-day no-hassle warranty covers the part and shipping when a part marked as compatible does not fit. Most packages ship by UPS Ground, while engines, transmissions, seats and bumpers go by freight, with typical delivery in five to ten business days. The limits are geographic and practical: orders ship only to the 48 contiguous states, P.O. boxes cannot receive shipments, and you cannot pick your own carrier. The site did not load from our location, so we could not check current part prices.

LKQ Pick Your Part is the self-service side of LKQ, and it is a strong pick for DIY mechanics who live near one of its yards. Each store has an online vehicle inventory that the site says is refreshed daily, plus an interchange search that shows which other years, makes and models share your part. The price list for each store is public. At Anaheim, for example, an alternator costs $31.00 plus a $10.00 refundable core deposit, and an optional 90 day worry-free guarantee adds $9.30, for $50.30 in total. Admission at that store is $3 and visitors must be 16 or older. The yard provides wheelbarrows and engine hoists free of charge. The catch is the self-service model: you bring tools, find the car and pull the part, and the online inventory lists vehicles rather than confirming that a specific part is still there. Prices and admission vary by location, so check your local store's list.

Pick-n-Pull is one of the largest self-service chains, with 44 US and 4 Canadian locations that the company says average over 1,200 cars and trucks each. It focuses on vehicles 7 or more years old, which suits owners of older cars who need affordable OEM parts. You check inventory online, pay a small admission fee, find the car and pull the part with your own tools. Prices are fixed and posted by location: at Little Rock an alternator costs $32.99 plus a $9.99 core deposit. Every part comes with a 30 day exchange, and on select parts such as alternators, starters, transmissions and engines you can add 12-month WarrantyPlus for 30% of the part price. Toolkit Rewards gives a $20 certificate at 350 points, and admissions earn points. Row52, a separate search site, now covers only Pick-n-Pull yards. The admission amount is not listed on the store pages we checked, so call your store if it matters.

U-Pull-&-Pay is a self-service junkyard brand owned by Pull-A-Part, LLC, and it wins on simplicity and low entry cost. Admission is $2, or $1 for members of the free VIP Club, and veterans, service members and local first responders get in free. Each location features approximately 2,000+ cars, and the site offers vehicle search, a New On Yard view for the last 24 hours to 7 days, a parts interchange tool and Notify Me alerts by text or email when a matching vehicle arrives. Prices follow a flat model: each specific part has the same price regardless of make, model or year, which makes budgeting easy for owners of newer or premium cars. Most parts include a 30-day warranty for return or exchange with a receipt. The limits match other pull-it-yourself yards: you bring tools, the yard tracks vehicles rather than parts, and it does not sell catalytic converters or driver and front passenger airbags.

Pull-A-Part calls itself a do-it-yourself used auto parts superstore, and it is the sister chain to U-Pull-&-Pay under Pull-A-Part, LLC. It is listed separately because it runs its own yards under its own name, so it widens the choice of nearby stores. The model is the same: the company inventories vehicles, not specific parts, so you search the online inventory, check New On Yard or set Notify Me alerts, then pull the part yourself. Standard admission is $2, or $1 for members of the free VIP Club, whose rewards credit and admission discounts work at both brands. Cars sit on stands so you do not need a jack, and the yard supplies an A-frame and hoist for engines and transmissions plus a lift to move them to the exit. Most parts include a 30-day warranty. The FAQ is clear that staff do not search the yard for parts, so expect to walk the rows yourself.

RockAuto is not a used parts site, but it belongs on this list because DIY mechanics compare its prices against salvage yards for many jobs. Its help pages state that all parts are new unless stated otherwise and that it sells many remanufactured parts, which are refurbished parts taken off other vehicles and often more cost effective. That makes it a good alternative when a used alternator or starter would be a gamble. When a part carries a core charge, RockAuto accepts the old part back within 6 months. Its warranty page lists terms by product line, with 12 months for parts not otherwise specified and up to 24 months unlimited mileage on some remanufactured alternators and starters. The company was founded in 1999 and has no store locations, so it cannot match a junkyard for body panels, trim or interior pieces in your car's color, and orders may arrive from several warehouses.

Row52 is a helper rather than a store. It searches vehicle inventory at self-service yards and, according to its own banner, is now exclusive with Pick-n-Pull, so it covers 51 yards and listed 47,671 vehicles when we checked. Its best feature is alerts: you set makes, models, years or yards and Row52 sends an email or text when a matching vehicle is placed in the yard. Listings include photos and VIN decoding, and yard pages show hours, address, part pricing lists and maps. Once you find a match, you go to the yard, pay the admission fee, pull the part with your own tools and pay at the cashier. Because Pick-n-Pull's own site also has an inventory check, Row52 matters mainly for its alerts and photos. Its limits are clear: it no longer covers other yard chains, it does not sell parts and it cannot tell you whether a part is still on a car.
