Editorial Policy
Car Parts Directory is an independent parts discovery site. We organize marketplace inventory by make, model, and category to help visitors compare automotive parts more quickly.
We may earn a commission when a visitor clicks through and completes a purchase on a partner marketplace. That relationship does not change our goal of showing relevant fitment paths, transparent navigation, and clear marketplace context.
Content on this site is generated from structured vehicle data, marketplace inventory, and editorial templates. We continuously review pages for quality, remove weak or misleading paths, and prioritize pages with stronger inventory depth and clearer user value.
Buying guides
Some category pages carry a written buying guide. Guides explain the vehicle's generations, part positions and what to check before ordering. Each one shows its author and the date it was last updated.
Where a guide summarises the current listings, that summary is read automatically from the sellers' listing titles each time the listings are checked. A title is the seller's description of the part. It does not confirm that the part fits your vehicle. Always compare the part number, model year, generation and engine with the seller's details, or ask a qualified parts supplier.
Guides give general fitting notes only, not step-by-step repair procedures or torque figures. Use the vehicle manufacturer's workshop information or a qualified mechanic for fitting.
Who writes and reviews the guides
Guides are written by Car Parts Directory. A guide names a reviewer only when a qualified person has checked it; if no reviewer is named, the guide has not been reviewed by a mechanic. Specific facts such as manufacturer part numbers are published only with a cited source, listed at the end of the guide.
Listing data
Listings come from the eBay Browse API. Each category page is scheduled for a re-check after 14 days, subject to eBay API capacity, and shows the date its listing set last changed. Prices, delivery costs and stock are shown for about 6 hours after a check; after that, the current price is on eBay. Pages without a written guide summarise what the sellers' listing titles state, such as model years, positions and part numbers. A fact is shown only when several titles state it, and it remains the sellers' description, not confirmed fitment.
Changes to this policy
- : added who writes and reviews the guides, the listing check cycle, the listing-title summaries and the source rule for part numbers.
