In most cases, you need to know a bunch of information about your car that you might not have on hand. You then have to navigate a confusing website (or multiple confusing websites) to find the right part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the journey can be intimidating, especially for a first-time shopper. But at CarParts.com, we strive to make shopping for parts quick and easy, which is why our website features a straightforward layout that&rsquo;s simple to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow along as we take a look at how easy it can be to find the right part&mdash;and get back on the road faster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Search for Parts on CarParts.com<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two primary methods for navigating the CarParts.com website: using the search bar and searching by category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shop for Parts Using the Search Bar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When searching for parts and accessories that are vehicle-specific, you&rsquo;ll want to use the search bar. Here&rsquo;s how it&rsquo;s done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Determine your vehicle&rsquo;s year, make, model, sub-model, and engine size<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start shopping for parts, you&rsquo;ll need to know your vehicle&rsquo;s year, make, and model. You&rsquo;ll want to know the submodel (also known as the trim level) and the engine size, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if you don&rsquo;t have this information on hand? You can use the following tips to find it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A. How to determine the year, make, and model<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your insurance card and registration will list the year, make, and model of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B. How to determine the trim level<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, your insurance card will list the vehicle&rsquo;s trim level. If it does not, take a look at your car&mdash;there is often a trim badge on the trunk or fender. You can also check the vehicle&rsquo;s window sticker (if you still have it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the above methods fail, you can call the parts or service department at your local dealership to determine the trim level. Before you call, however, be sure to have your car&rsquo;s vehicle identification (VIN) number on hand, as the dealer will need this information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/where-is-the-vin-number-on-a-car\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"find your car&rsquo;s VIN number\">find your car&rsquo;s VIN number<\/a> on your registration or insurance card. The information is also listed on two different placards: one inside the driver&rsquo;s side door jamb and another on the driver&rsquo;s side of the dashboard (right beneath the windshield).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>C. How to determine the engine size<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can determine your car&rsquo;s engine size by entering the VIN number into a decoder, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decodethis.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"decodethis.com\">decodethis.com<\/a>. The engine cover, engine plenum, or emissions decal (located under the hood) may also list the engine size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if all else fails, you can call the dealer with your VIN number to get the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Capture1-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"carparts.com vehicle selector\" class=\"wp-image-20563\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Capture1-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Capture1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Capture1-768x417.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Capture1-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Capture1.jpg 1460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:19px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
