Our stock changes regularly depending on the parts currently available.

South Africa

Customers looking for used car parts in Johannesburg can contact us before visiting to confirm whether the required part is currently available.

3. How can I find out if you have the part I need?

Browse our Used Parts catalogue or contact us directly through WhatsApp.

For faster assistance, send us:

Vehicle make
Vehicle model
Model year
Engine size
Engine code, if known
VIN/chassis number, where available
Name of the part required
Photo of the old part, where possible

4. How do I know whether a used part will fit my vehicle?

Vehicle compatibility should be checked before purchasing a used component.

Parts can differ according to model year, engine, transmission, vehicle generation, trim level, body configuration, and other specifications.

Where possible, provide your VIN/chassis number, engine code, existing part number, and photographs so the available component can be compared with your vehicle.

5. Do you sell used engines in Johannesburg?

Yes. Used engines are one of the main product categories offered by K & R Motor Spares.

Availability depends on our current inventory. When enquiring about an engine, provide your vehicle make, model, year, engine size, engine code, and VIN/chassis number where possible.

This information makes it easier to identify an appropriate engine.

6. Do you sell used gearboxes and transmissions?

Yes. We supply used gearboxes and transmission components when available.

When requesting a gearbox, tell us whether your vehicle uses a manual or automatic transmission and provide the vehicle make, model, year, engine information, VIN/chassis number, and gearbox code if available.

7. Are all the parts shown on the website currently available?

Not necessarily. Used-parts inventory can change quickly because individual components may be unique and can be sold before the online catalogue is updated.

We recommend using the Check Availability on WhatsApp option before making arrangements to collect or purchase a part.

8. What if the part I need is not listed on your website?

Our website may not display every used part currently available. Send us your vehicle details and the component you need, and we can check our available stock.

9. Are your car parts new or used?

K & R Motor Spares primarily specialises in used car parts and motor spares.

Because used parts have previously been installed or used, cosmetic condition and wear can vary between individual components.

The actual condition of a part should be checked before purchase.

10. Are the product photos of the actual part?

For live stock listings, our goal is to use photographs of the actual physical part being offered whenever practical.

Photos can help customers assess appearance, identification markings, connectors, mounting points, and general visible condition.

Customers should still confirm compatibility before purchasing.

11. Do you provide part numbers?

Where a manufacturer or OEM part number is clearly visible on an actual component, we may include it in the product information.

Part numbers can be particularly useful when identifying electrical components, control modules, alternators, starter motors, fuel-system components, lights, and other compatibility-sensitive parts.

12. Can I send you a picture of the part I need?

Yes. In fact, we recommend it.

Send clear photographs through WhatsApp, especially if you are unsure of the component’s name.

Where possible, photograph:

The complete part
Identification labels
Part numbers
Electrical connectors
Mounting points
The location where the part fits

This can make identification considerably easier.

13. Can you identify a car part using my VIN number?

A VIN/chassis number can provide useful vehicle-identification information, but it should not always be treated as the only method of confirming a used part.

For compatibility-sensitive components, we may also require the part number, engine code, gearbox code, photographs, or other vehicle specifications.

14. Do you sell body parts?

Yes. Our Body Parts category can include used bumpers, doors, bonnets, fenders, panels, and other exterior components, depending on current stock.

Because body components can change between model generations and facelift versions, always confirm the vehicle year and exact model.

15. Do you sell headlights, tail lights, and mirrors?

Yes. We stock used lights, lamps, and mirrors when available.

When enquiring, specify whether you require the left or right side and provide your vehicle make, model, and year.

For electrical mirrors, also tell us whether the mirror has features such as electric adjustment, indicators, heating, or power folding.

16. Can I contact you on WhatsApp?

Yes.

WhatsApp is one of the easiest ways to enquire about a part because you can send vehicle information, photographs, part numbers, and other details directly.

17. Can I visit K & R Motor Spares?

Yes. We are based in Newlands, Johannesburg.

We recommend confirming that the required component is available before travelling to collect it.

18. Do you deliver car parts?

Delivery or collection arrangements can depend on the part, its size, destination, and current service options.

Please contact K & R Motor Spares before ordering to discuss the available collection or delivery options for the specific component.

This wording is better than promising nationwide delivery until your exact shipping arrangements have been finalized.

19. Can I reserve a used part?

Because used parts are often individual stock items, contact us directly if you want to discuss holding or reserving a particular component.

Any reservation should only be considered confirmed once K & R Motor Spares has agreed to it directly.

20. Do used parts come with a warranty?

Warranty or return conditions can vary depending on the type of component and the terms applicable to the sale.

Customers should confirm the applicable warranty, testing, exchange, and return conditions before purchasing a part.

We should eventually link this answer directly to your Returns/Warranty Policy page once we create it.
