The price for every part is also prominently displayed, so users will can view and compare costs before ever contacting a supplier.

Do you scour the Internet hoping to find the right part at a decent price? Or, do you head to a big box parts store? With the relaunch of GetUsedParts.com, searching for used car parts has become a much more fluid experience, and, with the arrival of Get Used Parts' very first iPhone app, users can now quickly search for used parts on the go," said Director of Operations RueDee Caruso.

Our free Get Used Parts iPhone app is easy to navigate and boasts a clean, modern design that makes searching for used parts quick and painless. And, with everyone always on the go, accessibility is important to a lot of people, which is exactly what we brought to the table with this app," Caruso said.
