If you drive a Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, or Ram on Long Island, the parts that keep your vehicle running the way it was designed to run have a name - Mopar. Finding genuine Mopar parts locally means you get the right part, the right fit, and the factory warranty that comes with it. Three VIP Automotive Group CDJR dealerships across Nassau County stock Mopar parts and can order anything not on the shelf.
Bottom Line:
- Mopar is the OEM parts brand for all Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram vehicles - same parts your vehicle was built with
- Three VIP CDJR locations on Long Island stock common Mopar parts and can special-order anything in the catalog
- Genuine Mopar parts maintain your factory warranty, ensure exact fitment, and hold up longer than most aftermarket alternatives
- You can order in person, by phone, or online from any of the three locations
What Are Mopar Parts?
Mopar is the official parts, accessories, and service brand for Stellantis vehicles - specifically Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram. The name dates back to the 1930s (a combination of “motor” and “parts”) and today it represents the OEM parts line for every vehicle under those four brands.
When you buy a Mopar part, you are getting the same component. Same materials, same tolerances, same engineering - that was installed on your vehicle at the factory. That matters because modern vehicles are engineered as complete systems. The brake pads are designed to work with the rotors and calipers as a unit. The oil filter is spec’d for the exact oil flow characteristics of your engine. A Mopar air filter fits precisely into the airbox without gaps that let unfiltered air through.
If you want to understand how OEM parts compare to other categories, our guide on the difference between OEM and OES parts breaks down the distinctions and when each option makes sense.
Why Genuine Mopar Over Aftermarket?
Aftermarket parts vary enormously in quality. Some are fine. Others create problems that cost more to fix than the savings were worth. Here is what genuine Mopar parts guarantee:
- Exact fit - no modifications, no shimming, no “close enough.” The part drops in because it was designed for your specific vehicle
- Factory warranty coverage - Mopar parts come with their own warranty, and using them keeps your vehicle’s factory warranty intact
- Consistent quality - every Mopar brake pad meets the same spec, every filter uses the same media. There is no guessing about what you are getting
- Engineered as a system - Mopar parts are tested alongside every other component in your vehicle, not in isolation
For vehicles still under warranty, using genuine parts is especially important. For older vehicles, Mopar parts remain the benchmark for fit and reliability, even if aftermarket alternatives exist at lower price points.
"We keep the most-requested Mopar parts in stock so our customers aren't waiting around. Whether it's brake pads for a Grand Cherokee or an air filter for a Ram 1500, we can usually get you what you need the same day. And when it's a Mopar part, you know it's going to fit right the first time."

Popular Mopar Parts Long Island Drivers Buy
Some parts move faster than others. These are the Mopar components our parts departments sell most frequently:
Maintenance items - oil filters, air filters, cabin air filters, spark plugs, and wiper blades. These are the parts every CDJR vehicle needs on a regular schedule. If you are not sure when each item is due, our car maintenance schedule guide lays out the intervals clearly.
Brake components - brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid. Long Island’s stop-and-go traffic on the LIE and Southern State wears brakes faster than highway driving. Mopar brake pads are formulated for the specific weight and braking system of each model.
Accessories - all-weather floor mats, roof racks, tow hitches, cargo organizers, and running boards. Mopar accessories are designed with the same precision as mechanical parts - mounting points line up, finishes match, and nothing rattles.
Performance parts - Mopar offers a catalog of performance components for models like the Wrangler, Gladiator, and Ram trucks, including cold air intakes, cat-back exhaust systems, and lift kits.

How to Order Mopar Parts
You have three ways to get the parts you need:
In person - Walk into the parts department at any of the three locations. Bring your VIN (on your dashboard or registration) and the parts staff will pull the exact component for your vehicle. Common maintenance items are usually on the shelf and ready to go.
By phone - Call the parts department directly. Give them your VIN and describe what you need. They will confirm availability and pricing, and you can pick the part up or have it held at the counter.
Online - Each dealership’s website has an online parts ordering system. You can search by part number, vehicle year and model, or part category. Orders can be shipped or held for in-store pickup.
What to have ready when you order:
- Your vehicle’s VIN (17-character code)
- Year, make, model, and trim level
- The specific part or system you need (if you know the Mopar part number, that speeds things up)
What to Expect at the Parts Counter
Parts departments at VIP CDJR locations are set up to serve both DIY owners and professional installers. If you are doing your own maintenance, the staff can confirm you have the right part and answer technical questions. If you want the dealership’s service team to install the part, the parts and service departments coordinate directly - no extra steps on your end.
Turnaround for in-stock parts is immediate. For special orders, most Mopar parts arrive within one to three business days. If you are planning a project - like upgrading your Wrangler before summer trail season - ordering parts a week ahead ensures everything is ready when you are.
