A slow crank or a dashboard battery light are two of the most common reasons drivers start searching for used car parts USA, and starters and alternators are two of the best components to buy used. Both are built to survive well beyond a vehicle's other systems, which is exactly why so many end up as clean salvage auto parts instead of scrap. Craft Auto Parts bench-tests every unit before listing it, so you're not rolling the dice the way you would with an unverified auto salvage parts listing.
We carry starters and alternators for most major makes, including some of the most frequently searched: Ford parts online, Toyota parts online, and Honda parts are consistently among our top categories, alongside coverage for GM, Chrysler, Nissan, and other popular car and truck platforms — all part of our wider catalog of car spare parts USA shoppers depend on.

Bench-Tested Before It Ships
Every starter and alternator goes through a bench test for output and function before it's listed for sale. That's a step you won't get from a random recycled auto parts listing, and it's the reason repair shops keep coming back to Craft Auto Parts instead of gambling on an unverified part.

Backed by our quality guarantee and easy return policy
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I tell if it's the starter or the battery?
A: A single click when you turn the key usually points to the starter or its solenoid, while slow, labored cranking often points to the battery or alternator. Our mechanics can help you narrow it down over the phone.
Q: Do used alternators come with the pulley installed?
A: In most listings, yes — pulley, bracket, and regulator ship with the unit unless noted otherwise. We confirm exact contents before you check out.
