Napa Auto Parts Product Spotlight: Our Top 4 Must-Have Automotive Parts

NAPA auto parts have earned a reputation for excellence due to several key factors that set them apart in the automotive industry: quality exceeding industry standards, an extensive range of product types, and the widespread availability of our products.

We’re proud to source and manufacture the best automotive products that ensure durability and reliability. Our dedication to high standards ensures that both professional mechanics and DIY car enthusiasts can trust NAPA products. Let’s discuss some of our best-known product types and what makes them must-haves.

Brakes & Rotors

Whether you need pads and shoes, rotors and drums, brake lines, or other hardware, you can find what you need at NAPA. Since brake systems aren’t typically included in a vehicle’s warranty, ensuring you use products you can rely on is even more important.

• Adaptive One – PTFE Rubber Coated Hardware
• NAPA SilentGUARD – PTFE Rubber Coated Hardware (where applicable)
• NAPA – Stainless Steel Hardware (where applicable)
• StopRite – Stainless Steel Hardware (where applicable)

Batteries For Cars & Trucks

Battery replacement is one of the most popular and common automotive repairs. While some vehicles can get 5-6 years out of their battery, most of the time you’ll need a new battery every 3-4 years.

NAPA Auto Parts stores carry a wide range of batteries, ensuring that you’ll be able to find the right fit for your car or truck:

• NAPA Proformer Series (18 month free replacement warranty)
• NAPA Legend Series (2 year free replacement warranty)
• NAPA Premium AAA (Limited warranty, includes a 3 year free replacement)
• NAPA Legend Premium AGM (3 year free replacement warranty)

When your battery needs to be replaced, there are obvious signs that are easy to identify: headlights dimming, trouble starting the engine, or your battery warning light illuminating on your dashboard are all signs you might need a new one.

Filters

Oil, fuel, air, transmission, and fuel water separator filters are all available at your local NAPA Auto Parts Store or by ordering online. Each type of filter in your vehicle will require maintenance as time goes on. 

If filters aren’t maintained, cleaned, and replaced regularly it can negatively affect your vehicle’s longevity and safety on the road.

For example, using the wrong kind of filter can restrict airflow and lead to lower gas mileage while allowing pollutants to seep into your car’s engine or transmission systems.

Types Of Vehicle Filters

• Oil Filter: keeps contaminants out of clean oil (should be changed during each oil change)
• Cabin Air Filter: helps heating and AC function properly and improves interior air quality.
• Engine Air Filter: protects the engine from airborne contaminants
• Fuel Filter: keeps the fuel supply clean and free of rust, dust, and dirt.

Chassis

Parts for your vehicle’s chassis include anything that supports the framework and structural integrity of your car, along with stability and performance.

Common Chassis Parts

Frame

The frame of your vehicle is the main structural part of the chassis, providing a strong foundation for your entire vehicle. Auto parts for this section of your car will support your engine, transmission, and suspension.

Suspension & Steering

Shock absorbers, struts, springs, control arms, and sway bars are all part of your suspension system. Your vehicle’s steering components tend to work hand-in-hand with its suspension system, including parts like the steering column, tie rods, and linkage.

Axles & Drivetrain

Transmitting power from your vehicle’s wheels to the engine is essential, and auto parts like axles, CV joints, and driveshafts are all vital parts of this system.

Exhaust System

Your vehicle’s muffler, catalytic converter, and exhaust pipes are all part of this system. The exhaust system is responsible for managing emissions and safely expelling exhaust gases from your vehicle.

Whether you’re a professional mechanic or someone who performs their own car repairs, proper maintenance and replacement of chassis parts is crucial to keep your vehicle safe and lasting for years on the road.
