Sourcing the right truck parts is critical to keeping your truck operating with peak performance and longevity. With so many part options available in the market, it's important to understand how to find the right parts, designed for your European truck. This blog aims to save you time and money, by providing you with a high-level guide to sourcing the right parts for your European truck.
Things to consider when sourcing parts:
Compatibility
Make sure you take note of the specific model and production year, as parts can vary, even within the same brand. Compatibility with your trucks year, make and model will help narrow down your search and ensure compatibility when sourcing parts.
Availability
Always check and verify the availability of the parts you need with your supplier. Wait times and unavailability of parts can result in prolonged downtime and end up costing you more in the long run.
OEM recommendations
Consult your trucks manual and OEM recommendations. You’ll find your truck’s manual will often have the OEM specific parts recommendations and parts required. The manual will often include specific parts numbers, specifications and maintenance timeframes and intervals.
Parts supplier
Partner with a reputable parts supplier for their expertise and access to parts. You want to make sure you part supplier is reputable and specialised in European trucks. At CLA Truck Parts, our customers trust us as their reputable and trusted independent truck parts supplier.
Quality
Ensure your parts supplier is sourcing quality and reliable parts. We always recommend checking for certifications, reviews and testimonials to gauge the reliability of your parts supplier.
