Tariffs Won't Affect My Auto Store Pricing - Here's Why!
Drive Smart: How My Auto Store’s Recycled OEM Auto Parts Solve Automotive Tariff Challenges
Did you know that almost 50% of all vehicles sold in the U.S. come from other countries—and that 60% of the parts used to build vehicles here are also imported?
As new tariffs take effect, the automotive industry faces serious challenges. Prices for imported vehicles and parts will likely rise, leaving consumers with fewer affordable options. So, what can you do? Turn to used auto parts to avoid tariff costs—My Auto Store has you covered.
You could pay more for a new vehicle, or you could keep your current one running strong by maintaining it with quality parts.
When it’s time to make repairs, you have two choices: buy new parts affected by tariffs, or choose quality-tested used OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or LKQ (Like Kind and Quality) parts—which are not subject to tariffs.
At My Auto Store, we buy vehicles from multiple sources, including auctions and individuals (yes—you can sell us your vehicle!). Because these vehicles are already in the U.S., we avoid import fees—and that means you don’t pay tariffs either. We handpick the best vehicles and extract only the highest-quality parts.
Our team disassembles every vehicle at our dismantling facility in Camden, NJ. Then, we quality-check, clean, and package each part for fast, reliable shipping—usually within 24 hours of your order. We ensure each part makes a perfect fit for your car and back it with an industry-leading 6-month warranty.
Why Buying Quality-Tested Used OEM Auto Parts Makes Sense When Tariffs Hit
When tariffs drive up the cost of imported goods—especially auto parts—the price of new replacement components can skyrocket. These rising costs put pressure on your repair budget and can limit your options. That’s where quality-tested used OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts come in. Choosing used parts offers a smart, cost-effective solution when tariffs impact the market.
1. Save Big on Costs
One of the biggest advantages of used OEM parts is simple: you save money. As tariffs increase the price of new parts, the cost of repairing your vehicle can quickly climb. Used OEM parts, however, typically cost far less than new ones—even with tariffs in play. Choosing used means you get the parts you need without blowing your budget, especially for non-essential or hard-to-find components.
2. Count on OEM Quality
Worried about quality? Don’t be. Our quality-tested OEM parts meet the same high standards as the original parts in your vehicle. Since we pull these parts from vehicles just like yours—made by the same manufacturer—they’re designed to fit and function perfectly. We inspect and test every part to ensure it performs just like new, so you never have to compromise on reliability or safety.
This quality matters most when replacing critical components like engines, transmissions, or airbags, where performance is key to keeping your vehicle safe.
3. Get What You Need—Fast
While tariffs slow down the supply chain for new auto parts, My Auto Store already has parts in stock, ready to ship. New parts from overseas can take weeks to arrive and often cost more due to import fees and delays. In contrast, we package and ship your order quickly—usually within 24 hours—because we keep everything ready to go at our massive 280,000 sq. ft. Distribution Center in West Deptford, NJ.
Need it fast? If you’re local, stop by for pickup. We also offer next-day delivery within 75 miles of 08086, or we can ship your part right to your door.
Drive Green: Sustainability and Environmental Benefits
Choosing used OEM auto parts doesn’t just save you money—it also helps protect the planet. Manufacturing new auto parts consumes massive amounts of energy and raw materials. By reusing existing parts, you cut down on waste, reduce pollution, and minimize the need for resource-intensive production.
When you buy used parts, you extend the life of components already in circulation. Instead of adding to landfills or driving demand for new manufacturing, you support a circular economy that values reuse and conservation. Every used part you install lowers your carbon footprint and contributes to a more sustainable automotive industry.
In a world increasingly focused on climate change and eco-conscious decisions, choosing quality-tested used parts offers a simple, effective way to reduce your environmental impact—while still keeping your vehicle in top shape.
Save More with Smarter Repairs
If you drive an older vehicle, you know repairs can get expensive—especially when new parts cost more than your car’s value. Tariffs only make that worse, inflating the price of both new parts and new cars.
At My Auto Store, we offer a smarter solution: quality-tested used OEM parts that cost up to 70% less than new. Whether you need an engine, transmission, airbag, or body panel, we help you keep your car running without draining your wallet.
Older cars, especially those out of warranty, benefit most from this approach. Instead of sinking money into brand-new parts or settling for low-grade aftermarket options, you can get reliable OEM parts—the exact components built for your vehicle—for a fraction of the cost.
No Compromises on Performance or Safety
Saving money doesn’t mean sacrificing quality. OEM parts are built to the exact specs of your original equipment. That means they fit better, last longer, and perform just like new—especially when you buy from a trusted source like My Auto Store, where every part goes through strict quality testing.
For critical systems like brakes, suspension, and airbags, precision and durability matter. Aftermarket parts might be cheaper, but they’re often mass-produced and not always held to the same standards. With used OEM parts, you protect your vehicle’s performance and your own safety—without compromise.
Support Local Jobs and Businesses
Every time you buy a used part from My Auto Store, you’re not just saving money—you’re supporting local jobs and small businesses. We source our parts from salvage yards, auctions, and sellers across the country, and we rely on a hardworking team in our Camden, NJ and West Deptford facilities to inspect, clean, and ship your order fast.
By choosing used parts, you invest in your community while still getting the quality you expect. It’s a win-win for your wallet and your local economy.
The Smart Choice in a Tariff Economy
When tariffs drive up the cost of new parts, used OEM auto parts from My Auto Store offer a smart, affordable, and sustainable alternative. You get trusted, tested components, save money, cut down on wait times, and reduce your environmental footprint—all without compromising your car’s performance.
Whether you’re making a major repair or just keeping your vehicle on the road a little longer, quality-tested used OEM parts deliver real value when it matters most.
