How SpareIt works
Safe, simple buying and selling of car spares in South Africa.
Buying a part
Find the part you need
Search by make, model, year, and part category. Browse listings from private sellers, mechanics, and strip yards across South Africa.
Buy with confidence
Click "Buy now" and pay securely via PayFast. Your payment is held in escrow — SpareIt holds it safely until you confirm you've received your part.
Seller ships your part
The seller is notified immediately and ships your part via Pudo, PAXI, Aramex, or Courier Guy. They'll add a tracking number to your order.
Confirm receipt
Once your part arrives and you're happy with it, click "Confirm received" in your order dashboard. Payment is then released to the seller.
Problem? We've got you
If the part isn't as described, never arrives, or is damaged — raise a dispute. SpareIt holds the funds and mediates until it's resolved.

Buyer Protection
Every purchase on SpareIt is covered by our Buyer Protection guarantee. A fee of 7% + R25 is added at checkout and covers you against:
- ✓ Part not received
- ✓ Part significantly not as described
- ✓ Wrong part sent
- ✓ Part arrived damaged in transit
All purchases must be made through SpareIt to be covered. Do not pay sellers directly.
