● Most Common Types of Car Parts
• Filters
Simple explanation: These car parts are like the car's "face mask" or "water filter." The most common is the oil filter, which is almost always needed every time the oil is changed. In addition, there are air filters that block dust from the air, and cabin air filters that ensure fresh air inside the car. Because almost all cars require regular replacement of these parts, they are among the most readily available new parts.

• Braking and Safety Parts
Simple explanation: To ensure safe stopping, brake pads are one of the fastest-wearing car parts. Regardless of the brand of your car, roadside repair shops usually have brake pads that match your model. Wiper blades also fall into this category; due to the aging of the rubber, they are common parts that can be easily purchased at supermarkets and gas stations.
Related terms: Brake pads, wiper blades, brake linings.
• Ignition and Power Parts
Simple explanation: The battery and spark plugs are important car parts that maintain the car's ignition. Batteries usually have standard specifications, making it easy to find replacement parts. Spark plugs are like the flint in a lighter; they need to be replaced after prolonged use and are a staple in the auto parts market.
Related terms: Battery, spark plug, ignition coil.
• Lighting Parts
Simple explanation: Broken car lights not only affect visibility but can also result in fines. Therefore, various types of light bulbs (such as headlights, turn signals, and brake lights) are widely available car parts. These small parts usually have standardized specifications, making them very convenient to buy and install.

• Tires and Suspension Parts
Simple explanation: Tires are the most typical consumable car parts. Although different car models have different tire sizes, mainstream tire sizes are readily available at any tire shop. In addition, certain rubber bushings on the chassis (known as rubber mounts) are also commonly stocked parts at repair shops because they are prone to aging and cracking.
Related terms: tires, shock absorber bushings, rubber mounts.
