2. Asking for suggestions:
Another way is to ask your relatives, friends, or colleagues if they know a trusted supplier. Find out where they are purchasing parts for their vehicles. Ask them if they are satisfied with the services and quality of the spare parts. Also, check if they are long-time customers or have just started to purchase from the shops.
3. Look for certified services:
As you enter a spare part shop check if professional and authentic certifications are displayed, For example, “Authorized dealer of Toyota.” Another thing you can check that dealers and shop owners like to display is a certificate of appreciation from the brand.
4. Maintenance of the parts:
Find out how shop owners keep the spare parts at the showroom, do they provide proper staff for handling vehicle parts?
5. Visit personally:

Also, you can check how much automotive sector knowledge they have so that they can suggest the best auto part for your ride.
6. Start with smaller purchases:
