Inexpensive auto parts are lavish in the junkyard near me. The consumer needs only know where to look. This website will help you find inexpensive auto parts at a reputable salvage yard near you. All types of car parts from the engine, power train, braking, steering/suspension, electrical, exhaust, air-conditioning, and other systems of your car are available through this website. For those of you who have not visited a salvage yard recently, you will be surprised by the details available through this website. Salvage yards are automated, in many instances keeping records on the computer of the parts on hand. These parts have been removed, cleaned, stored, and cataloged for your use.

Did you know the average car is comprised of 15-20,000 parts? These various parts have a variable useful life, depending upon the make, model, and year. For example, the manual transmission in a 1966 Ford Mustang will not likely last as long as its passenger door. Salvage yards recognize this and maintain an excellent source of discount parts with which to extend your car’s useful life.

Why pay new part prices, which can be up to five times more expensive than a salvage part? Did you know that a new GM car worth $14,000 would cost $40,000 if it were assembled with OEM?

Although remanufactured or rebuilt parts may be less expensive than OEM, salvaged parts are less expensive still, meaning the more components needed, the greater the savings. For example, if you need to replace the entire passenger door, why pay separately for the door shell, a window, and a mirror? Also, why confine your search to OEM or rebuilt parts? Remember that a rebuilt part does not necessarily mean all the components were replaced. In other words, your “rebuilt transmission” may very well include a used sprag or gear with a limited useful life that will make a difference if the warranty is limited.

Buying parts through a salvage yard is also good for the economy and our environment. Did you know that forty thousand people are employed in the recycling industry nationwide, which includes 7,000 local businesses? Also, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes that salvage yards reduce the need for landfills in our communities. Many salvage yards now also recycle auto fluids, such as antifreeze, motor oil, and brake/transmission fluids.

To get started, please enter the part needed and the make, model, and year of your car. By Internet or phone, you will be able to contact a salvage yard near you to determine if the part is available. While you may want to visit a yard to determine the quality of the part and how it was stored, you may also be able to have the part delivered to you. Remember most salvage yards require payment when the part is released, so be sure to ask about their return policy, if any. Once you secure a salvage part, be sure to protect it from the elements by storing it properly.
