Common Car Part Wear and Tear

Your car features a wide range of parts and components, all of which work in tandem to get you safely and soundly from Point A to Point B. Of course, time and use can cause these parts to become worn down, and ultimately to require replacement. You may choose to replace these parts on your own, or simply make a service center appointment with our Honda service center in Baton Rouge, LA.

The parts that you need replaced, plus the frequency at which you need them replaced, can vary based on a number of factors. Some of these factors include:

•   The make and model of your vehicle
•   Your driving style
•   How often you operate the vehicle
•   Weather conditions that you drive in
•   Your diligence about preventative maintenance

With that said, normal wear and tear can cause certain automotive parts to become worn out at a predictable rate.

The Most Commonly Replaced Auto Parts

A few of the most commonly replaced auto parts include:

•   Oil and oil filters. You’ll likely need to have your oil changed and filters replaced every three to six months, depending on how often you drive.
•   Windshield wiper blades. These tend to break down often, requiring replacement every year or two.
•   Air filters. You will need to replace your air filter every three years. If you drive on a lot of dirt or gravel roads, you may need to replace your air filters more regularly.
•   Brake pads. Depending on the type of vehicle, as well as your driving style, you may need to replace your brake pads once every three to five years.
•   Headlight and taillight bulbs. These bulbs can last as long as seven years, but sooner or later you’ll need to replace them.
•   Spark plugs. Anticipate changing your spark plugs once every seven to eight years, on average.
