What is MyPartsChoice.com?

My Parts Choice was launched by the Auto Body Parts Association (ABPA) as a consumer information portal to ensure consumer parts choice and right to repair options are not terminated or compromised by car companies.

You Can Choose

Auto Body Parts

Does it matter what parts you put on your car? Absolutely! But maybe not in the ways you think. The differences between alternative parts and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts may surprise you while choosing alternative parts could save you time and money.

Are you covered?

Insurance

You might be surprised, but having a choice in vehicle replacement parts and auto insurance go hand in hand. Whether it’s picking the right parts after a collision or the influence parts have on your premiums, the power of choice has an impact on your wallet.

Take Action!

Advocacy​

It’s your vehicle, you should be able to care for it however you choose, right? Automobile manufacturers are working hard to make the answer to that question “no”. Learn what car companies are doing to try and limit your options, and what you can do to protect your right to choose.
