# Aftermarket Kings: Sourcing Auto Parts
The Vehicle Spare Parts section (Phase 1) is industrial and serious.
## 1. Key Categories
* **Consumables:** Brake pads, Filters (Oil/Air), Spark plugs.
* **Electronics:** Dashcams, HUDs, Android Infotainment systems.
* **Lighting:** LED headlight retrofits.
* **Body Parts:** Bumpers, Grills (especially for modifications).
## 2. Production Hubs
* **Ruian (Wenzhou):** The capital of auto parts. Thousands of small factories making sensors, pumps, and switches.
* **Guangzhou:** Strong in Japanese car parts (Toyota/Honda hubs nearby).
* **Changzhou:** Famous for body kits and plastic parts.
## 3. The "Fitment" Issue
* A "Toyota Corolla" in China is slightly different from a "Toyota Corolla" in the USA.
* **Golden Rule:** Always bring a physical sample or correct OEM Part Number. Never rely on the car model name alone.
## 4. Packaging
* Auto parts are dirty/heavy.
* **Branding:** Packaging is key for aftermarket retail. Ensure the box is oil-resistant and looks professional.
## Summary
This is a volume game. Factories want container orders. If you need 50 pieces, go to the **Yongfu Road Auto Parts Market** in Guangzhou city instead of the fair.
