About Parting Out

Parting Out is an online marketplace for used OEM auto parts. Sellers list the donor cars and trucks they are parting out, with photos and specs of the vehicle itself. Buyers search those vehicles by make, model, and year, request the part they need, and buy it directly from the seller. The company is Parting Out, LLC, based in Graham, Texas.

The marketplace is vehicle-first. You start with the donor car or truck instead of a catalog of parts someone already uploaded. You see where the part is coming from, then you talk to the seller who has it.

Buyers come looking for used OEM parts: the original components installed on a car or truck at the factory. That includes engines, transmissions, body panels, lights, interior pieces, and the smaller switches and brackets that rarely show up in a traditional parts list. A buyer can browse without an account, then create a free account to ask a seller about a part.

Sellers are the people and businesses parting out vehicles. They include independent owners, hobbyists with one car in the driveway, small yards, and larger dismantlers who want buyers to find a specific donor vehicle. The seller lists the vehicle. Buyers say which parts they want, so the seller pulls and prices pieces people actually ask for.

A seller creates an account and publishes a vehicle with photos and specs. A buyer opens that listing and requests a part, including one that was never uploaded as its own item. The request stays tied to that donor vehicle. The seller replies with a price, condition notes, and shipping or local pickup. Either side can ask questions or send a counteroffer before anyone pays. When both sides accept, the buyer pays the seller from the invoice, then tracks a shipment or arranges pickup.

A step-by-step version of that flow, written separately for buyers and for sellers, is on the how it works page. Listing a vehicle is free, and buyers are not charged a fee. Sellers pay a commission only when a part sells. The rate, billing, and volume discounts are on the fees page.

Used OEM parts are a practical way to match a repair to the vehicle you already own. A donor car or truck of the same make, model, and year is the starting point for fitment, especially when the new part is discontinued or a new engine, transmission, or body panel costs more than the repair is worth. Photos, mileage, and a conversation with the seller let you judge condition before you pay.

Parting Out does not replace that check. You confirm interchange and part numbers yourself. Warranty and return terms are set by each seller and shown on the seller profile and the offer. The sale is between you and the seller.
