6 car parts you probably need that you can find on Amazon by Brandt Ranj on Jun 13, 2017, 3:22 PM The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we get a share of the revenue from your purchase.  I've used Amazon to buy everything from tech to toiletries for the past 12 years but only recently learned about its auto section.
It's huge, and you can input information about the car you drive to get specific, compatible parts instead of searching each one's serial number. Although you can get granular and look for what you need on a per-part basis, Amazon breaks this section up into a few sub-sections. I've outlined six of the biggest ones below, so you'll know exactly what to expect, and included one general recommendation for each. I highly recommend entering your vehicle into Amazon's "garage" before making a car part purchase to be sure it's compatible. SEE ALSO: Amazon has a section that makes it incredibly easy to find replacement parts for your car — here's how to use it Connected  Focused mostly on dongles that connect your car to your phone and stereo equipment, this section is all about making your vehicle smarter. While most car upgrades require a lot of technical and mechanical understanding, getting it to relay diagnostic information to your phone is actually relatively easy. Installing a new stereo can be more difficult, and may require a trip to a mechanic, but is a definitive way to bring better sound with you as you drive.

Tires  Although this section does cover both tires and wheels, it also includes accessories you might need to maintain them. You can sort the tires by size or function (all season, off road, ATV, etc.), and also buy the appropriate lug nuts, dust shields, locks, and spacers. The section also includes tire gaugers, pressure monitors, and air compressors. Pictured: TEKTON's digital gauge can measure the pressure of your tires in four units (PSI, BAR, KPa, or KG/CM²), and display it on a backlit LCD screen. The gauge's nozzle is lit, which will make it easier to take the measurement at night.
Interior Accessories  One of the more general sections, interior accessories includes everything from seat covers to antitheft devices. It's also full of specific, one-off parts that might be acting up in your car, like its speedometer steering wheel. These might not all be parts you'll feel comfortable replacing yourself, but if you know someone handy it's useful to have the part you need on hand.
