Will this part fit my car?

The honest answer: match the part number. That's the most reliable check there is. PullHound doesn't have an interchange database, so we won't guess which cars share parts.

1. Before you go

1. Write down your year, make, model, engine size and trim (registration, plus the sticker under the hood).
2. Photograph your old part: labels, part numbers, plugs and mounting points.
3. Look your part up on a big parts store's website. The "fits these vehicles" list there is a lead, not proof.

2. At the yard

1. Find the same number on the donor part. Same number means same part.
2. No readable number? Compare mounting points, connector shape and pin count, and size side by side with your photos.
3. Watch for options that change a part inside one model: heated or power-fold mirrors, LED vs. halogen lights, 2WD vs. 4WD, manual vs. automatic, engine size.
4. Stay in the same generation. Parts often change when a model is redesigned.
5. Ask the counter. Many yards and recyclers use a commercial interchange guide (Hollander is a common one) and can look it up for you.

3. Protect yourself

• Ask about the return or exchange policy before you pay, and keep the receipt.
• Buying online? Read the listing's fitment notes and compare the photos with your part.
