Types of auto parts
The automotive world has several types of parts, and knowing them helps you describe your listings more accurately and sell more on Azeler:
- Original (OEM): part made by the vehicle manufacturer, with its official reference number.
- Parallel or aftermarket: from component manufacturers (Bosch, Valeo, Marelli…), compatible and often more affordable.
- Recovered or "green": a used part in good condition sourced from an end-of-life vehicle, processed by an authorised treatment centre (ATF).
- Remanufactured: a recovered part that has been rebuilt and verified (turbos, engines, transmissions).
What is a green part?
A green part is a component recovered from an end-of-life vehicle, processed at an Authorised Treatment Facility (official dismantler). It is a more affordable and sustainable option: it reuses components that are still in good working order instead of manufacturing new ones.
♻️ Benefit for the buyer:
Good quality at a fair price, with full part traceability and, in most cases, a warranty. For sellers, demand for green parts is steadily growing.
How to write great listings
A clear, detailed listing sells faster. Always include:
- OEM reference and compatible reference numbers.
- Make, model, engine and year range of the compatible vehicle.
- Part type (green/recovered, original, remanufactured).
- Actual condition of the part and, if applicable, the warranty terms.
- Clear photos of the part from multiple angles.
