Auto Parts Buying Tips
As with any bargain, you should know a little something before putting any money down. Here are some tips on how to buy recycled auto & truck parts.
- Deal with a licensed salvage yard. Preferably a member of a professional association,
such as the Automotive Recyclers of Canada. - Ask if electrical parts have been bench tested. Ask if they are warranted. Some recyclers have been known to extend
such warranties for up to a one year. - When you buy an engine or transmission, know the year model and engine size for your car. Carefully inspect older units to insure quality. Most recyclers will record mileage and compression check an engine before offering it for sale.
- Always have an expert mechanic diagnose your specific problems.
- This will ensure that you get the right part for the job and avoid recurring problems.
- Bring in old parts for comparison before you buy.
- Get a receipt, as you would with any purchase.
