You might rely on Amazon to help furnish your home, supply you with tech, and as an easy way to stream your favorite movies and TV shows, but what about fixing your car? Whether it needs fluid, new tires, lighting, or general replacement parts, Amazon's Garage section has you covered. Despite knowing very little about cars, I used this section to replace one of my car's side mirrors after it was stolen off the street and found the process easy.  The biggest problem with buying car parts is not knowing whether the part will be compatible with your vehicle. Instead of scouring web forums or asking a mechanic, Amazon lets you create a virtual garage, so you'll only see parts that will work with your car.  I've walked through the process of creating an Amazon garage below, and you can get started on yours here. SEE ALSO: This simple piece of tech can drastically improve your driving experience Welcome to the garage, start by adding your vehicle. You'll only need to know the vehicle's type (SUV, truck, van, etc.), year, manufacturer, and model to add your car. Once your car information has been entered, you can add another one, or look for a part by using the search bar.
