About SourcedAutoParts

The yard, and what is actually on the shelves

We run a wrecking yard. Vehicles arrive written off, end-of-life or too expensive to repair, and the parts that are still good come off them and go on the shelves — engines, transmissions, doors, mirrors, lamps, loom sections, modules, seats, hubs, calipers. Thousands of them, and the count changes every week as vehicles come in and parts go out.

Alongside that we stock new parts: aftermarket where it is the sensible choice, OEM where nothing else will do. Which one you want depends on the job, the age of the car and what you are willing to spend, and it is a conversation rather than a rule.

THE PARTS LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE A SAMPLE. A few hundred lines, photographed and written up, chosen because they are the things people ask for most. They are not the inventory. A yard's stock changes faster than any catalogue can be kept honest, and publishing thousands of listings we could not keep true would be worse than publishing a few we can.

So most orders start with you, not with a search box

If what you need is not on the site, that is the normal case rather than a dead end.

1. 1

   Show us the part. A photograph of the old one, on the car or off it, tells us more than a description usually can — a casting number, a connector shape, the number of bolt holes. Send it in the chat or on the quote form.

2. 2

   Or tell us the vehicle and what it is doing. Year, make, model and engine, plus the symptom. We would rather diagnose it with you than sell you the wrong thing quickly.

3. 3

   We look. On the shelves first, then at what we can bring in new. If both are possible you get both, with the difference in price and in condition stated.

4. 4

   We send you a price. What it is, what condition it is in, what it costs and how long it takes.

5. 5

   You decide, and only then does payment come into it. Nothing is owed while you are thinking about it.

Why the site works this way

The expensive failure in this trade is not a slow site or a bad photograph. It is a part confidently matched to a vehicle it does not fit — which produces a return, a refund, a car stuck on a lift, and a customer who does not come back.

So the entire site is arranged around one question: does this fit the vehicle in front of you? Everything else — search, categories, guides — exists to get to that answer faster, and anything that gets in the way of it has been removed.

How a part gets onto this site

Four stages, and a part that fails any of them stays unpublished rather than being listed with a gap in it.

1. 1

   Sourced. We identify the part, the manufacturer and the real part number — not a marketplace listing title.

2. 2

   Matched. Fitment is recorded against specific vehicle variants, with the engine and drivetrain, because a 2.7L and a 5.0L F-150 do not share a brake kit.

3. 3

   Checked. A person confirms the match, or it is labelled supplier-asserted and shown as unverified. Those are different claims and we do not blur them.

4. 4

   Published. Only once it has a description, specifications, a photograph and a price we can honour.

Accessibility

This site targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and the checks run on every change rather than once a year.

Every colour pair in the design system is tested against WCAG contrast ratios in both the light and dark themes, and a pair below the threshold fails the build. Automated axe-core testing runs against the site in both themes — including hover, focus and error states — and zero violations is the passing condition, not a target. Forms are checked for programmatic labels, and errors are announced rather than only coloured.

Layout shift is measured too, because content moving under a pointer or a magnifier is an accessibility problem before it is a performance one.
