car parts

Fenders and pistons

Car parts are the individual components that make up an automobile—engine, transmission, brakes, alternator, radiator, and hundreds more.

The term appears in contexts of repair, replacement, and sales: The mechanic said we need to order the car parts.

An auto parts store sells them.

Someone knowledgeable about vehicles knows their car parts.
