Use your vehicle registration or make/model/engine to verify fitment
Compare symptoms against the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if thread repair set parts fit my car?

Use your vehicle details (make, model, engine) to confirm fitment before ordering thread repair set parts. Matching the exact engine variant helps you choose the correct part first time.

OEM vs aftermarket thread repair set: what's the difference?

OEM parts match the original equipment specification. Aftermarket parts from quality brands are compatible alternatives that often meet or exceed OE standards at a lower price.
