The problem with car parts is you will probably need to have to have
engineering data to determine if it is the same.

If it came off the same assembly line with the same part number, it's

part no matter who sold it.

In theory, it is possible that parts go through a post-manufacturing QA
sorting process, and only those which meet some higher standard get sold
to
the aviation market.

Experience tells me just the opposite. I have a lot more faith in NAPA
parts than some of the parts that have gone through some FAA approved
manufacturing, inspection and approval process.
