Finding Chevrolet Parts for Older Cars

Patriot Chevy of Warminster does our best to keep car maintenance easy. However, we know it’s harder to find Chevrolet parts for some older models. If you’re sourcing components for a classic, here are our tips for getting what you need.

Order from a Dealership

Your first and best step is to start at the source. Chevrolet manufactures parts for older models for longer than you may realize. Ordering from a Chevy dealership ensures genuine parts with the right fit and finish, so you know you’re getting the best.

Pro tip: Another benefit to buying from us: we’ll also install the components for you.

Explore Aftermarket and Third-Party Sites

No good thing lasts forever. It won’t be as easy sourcing parts for a very old vehicle – say, your old Chevy Nomad – as it would for a new Chevy Blazer. If your car is old enough, you may have to search third-party alternatives for aftermarket parts, NOS (new old stock), or remanufactured options.

Pro tip: Ask your Chevy dealer before buying aftermarket parts of any vintage. We can steer you to reputable suppliers you can trust.

Checking Other Sources

There are many more sources for parts, including classifieds, social media, and even local scrapyards. These should be your last resort since you can never be sure of how well a previous owner took care of the vehicle to which those parts were attached, if the car was in an accident, or if it suffered severe damage from flooding or a natural disaster.

Pro tip: As with any other purchase of this type, attempt to vet the source before buying; also, remember that anything that seems too good to be true probably is.
