Some people may be hesitant to order spares online.  There is always the possibility that you receive the wrong or sub-standard automotive spares once you have already paid for them and then it may be difficult or even impossible to get the correct spares or your money back.  Looking4Spares takes the headache out of the process and makes it easy and safe to order spares online.

Especially when you order spares online from a remote location that is not near your hometown, you need some assurances that you are dealing with an honest establishment.  Therefore we have created a Payment Protection Facility, whereby you can set up a Safe Trade Account.  According to this arrangement, your spare parts are couriered to you and only once you have received your spares and deemed both the parts and paperwork acceptable and in order, will your payment be released to the parts supplier.

This system gives our customers peace of mind and the confidence to make use of our Safe Trade Account Payment Protection Facility.  Your risks are eliminated and most of the automotive parts supplied by our suppliers carry a 30-day money back guarantee.  Our system ensures your safety and makes it easy to take advantage of our 300-strong supplier network, even if your supplier is from out of town.  In addition, we have negotiated preferential rates with our couriers, so that you may benefit from a cost saving on that front as well.

Contact Looking4Spares today to find out more about our scrapyard and motor spares suppliers.  Never before has it been so easy to safely and securely order spares online for your car, bakkie, 4x4 offroad vehicle, motorcycle or truck online and securely pay for them.

Once a car’s maintenance plan has expired, and the owner intends to keep it for another couple of years, he or she becomes responsible for footing all maintenance bills.  Car parts may in some cases be very expensive, so used auto spares and parts have to be considered to keep costs at bay.  But where do you find used auto spares and parts?  What do you do if you have no idea where to start searching?  You contact Looking4Spares.

Used spares for cars have been unfairly stigmatised.  The motor manufacturers, especially, would not recommend them, sighting safety concerns.  However, there are many used spares that carry no safety risk and that may be obtained at far lower prices than new spares.  Looking4Spares is your used spare supplier portal of choice: we can help you find used spares for your vehicle.

Many vehicles have been written off or deregistered, but still have many serviceable used spares and parts that can be salvaged for other people to use in similar vehicles.  Some wear and tear items physically wear out and cannot be re-used, like brake linings and clutches, but even these may still be in very good nick on cars that were involved in accidents while they were still very new.

Used spares and other used parts may be the only solution for some people with older models for which the manufacturers no longer sell new parts.  Many of these cars are written off for a lack of parts, keeping the remaining ones running for a little while longer by using their donor parts from scrapyards.  While mechanical solutions may be devised to replace hard-to-find parts with similar or generic parts, body parts and trim become sought-after used parts for scarce models.

Looking4Spares has a network of over 300 parts suppliers and Scrap Yard suppliers that can supply serviceable used spares for your car, truck or motorcycle.  Contact us on our call centres help line so that we can start looking for the used parts that you need.  You might find a part the very same day, once we have started circulating your request on our supplier network. "Part Finds looking4spares" is your answer.

Auto spares have become a lot more expensive that they used to be.  Car manufacturers design many spares to be specific to their vehicles and one may often not be able to obtain generic equivalents at lower prices elsewhere. Looking4Spares is a free auto spares locator service that will link you to scrapyards and auto spares dealers countrywide, that can help you find auto spares for your car.

South Africans have tended to lose touch with the actual prices of auto spares.  Unlike many other countries, local buyers are discerning and demanding and as such, many cars are sold with service or maintenance plans as standard.  In the case of a service plan, a car’s services are prepaid for a set number of kilometres or years in advance, whichever comes first.  A maintenance plan not only covers services, but also wear and tear maintenance items such as brake pads and clutches.  This means that many people never actually pay for auto spares and other parts themselves while under the coverage of these plans, and they subsequently have little idea what auto spares cost.

Current economic conditions are tough and an increasing number of people keep their cars for longer, often beyond the coverage of service and maintenance plans, which means that they are responsible for the account when the car is serviced or a part wears out or fails and has to be replaced with a reliable auto spares part.  The franchised agents may sometimes be extremely expensive and the consumer may simply not have the cash to pay for expensive auto spares.  In addition, most imported cars’ parts are also imported, making them vulnerable to the exchange rate and affecting supply turnaround times.

Let Looking4Spares help you find new and used auto spares.  We might be able to obtain used parts in good condition at a considerable saving to you, so contact us on our call centre help line : 0861777722 today.
