Buy the part, or have it fitted
Lots of car jobs are easy to do yourself with the right part: wiper blades, bulbs, screenwash and even a battery on many cars. Others, like brakes, are best left to a mechanic unless you're experienced. Our guides explain which is which.
Car parts near you: click and collect
For most everyday parts, the quickest option is click and collect. GSF Car Parts has over 200 branches across the UK; you can check the part fits your car by registration online, then collect it from a branch near you, often the same day.
Popular parts
- Wiper blades: replace every 6 to 12 months or when they smear
- Headlight and brake light bulbs: a blown bulb is an MOT fail
- Car batteries: most last 4 to 6 years
- Brake pads and discs
- Oil, air and pollen filters and service kits
- Screenwash, coolant and other fluids
- Dash cams, reversing cameras and car audio from Car Audio Centre, with fitting available
- EV charging cables and accessories from EV King, for electric and plug-in hybrid cars
Parking while your car is in the garage
If your car is in for a few days, or you need a space near the station or airport, private driveways and car parks are often cheaper than on-street parking. Compare spaces near you on YourParkingSpace, or compare airport car parks on Compare My Parking Deals.

Where can I buy car parts near me?
Motor factors such as GSF Car Parts have branches across the UK with click and collect, often the same day. Check the part fits by entering your registration online before you collect.
How do I know a part fits my car?
Use your registration number on the retailer's website, or the part number from the old part. If in doubt, take the old part to the branch.
Can I fit car parts myself?
Wiper blades, many bulbs, screenwash and air filters are easy jobs for most people. Brakes, timing belts and anything safety-critical are best done by a qualified mechanic.
Can I buy my own parts and ask a mechanic to fit them?
