Editorial Policy

PartsMatchup exists to give drivers accurate, comparable information about auto parts and stores. These rules apply to every page.

Independence

No store, brand or affiliate network reviews or approves our content before it is published, and no one can pay for a better result. Commissions and ads never change which store or part comes out ahead. If we ever accept a sponsored placement, it will be labeled as sponsored.

Accuracy and sourcing

  • Every price shows the date it was checked and the store locations used.
  • Store policies and offers are quoted from the stores’ official pages and linked as sources.
  • When information is missing or a store blocks our check, we say so instead of guessing.
  • We do not claim hands-on testing we have not done, and we do not publish star ratings.

Safety

Our DIY guides cover common jobs on common vehicles. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer’s procedures and torque specifications, use proper jack stands, and use a professional when you are unsure, especially for brakes and steering.

Corrections

Report errors through our contact form. We verify reports against the store’s official page and correct confirmed errors, updating the page’s date. Expired deals are removed automatically on their end date.

Advertising and affiliate links

Ads are labeled “Advertisement” and kept away from price tables, store buttons and calculator results. Store links may be affiliate links; see our affiliate disclosure.
