Auto salvage yards use computerized databases to keep track of their inventory so they can easily locate any particular parts by name, description, or even part number.
Did you know that you can often find unbroken windshields and windows at salvage yards? These are a great option if you need to replace the glass in your car and want to save money in the process.
Did you know that motor vehicles are the number-one recycled product in America? This is likely because more than 85 percent of the materials in these (by weight) are recyclable.
Did you know that you help keep materials out of landfills by choosing used or salvaged car parts over new ones?
When thinking about used auto parts instead of new parts, remember to consider the way you use the parts. Parts that frequently wear out may give you a longer life if you buy them new.
When you buy used auto parts, you not only save the materials that manufacturers would need to make the parts otherwise, but you also help reduce the amount of fuel, such as electricity, needed to create new parts.
