DIY Vehicles Outside Our Network

If you're sourcing a car for a remote market without nearby dealers, plan ahead:

  • Buy 1–2 sets of common wear parts (brake pads, filters, belts) with the vehicle to avoid first-service delays
  • Most Chinese brand parts are interchangeable across models (BYD ATTO 3 parts often fit Yuan Plus)
  • Get the parts catalog PDF with the vehicle — we provide this with each shipment

For Starvia clients, we keep your VIN list and proactively pre-ship common service parts at 12 / 24 month intervals (optional).
