What Kind of Junkyard Are You Looking For?
There are traditionally two types of junkyards for used car parts. The type that requires you to locate your part and remove it yourself is what most people think of when they hear “junkyard” or “salvage yard”. But there is a more pleasant option, it’s called a full-service junkyard.
The Downside to U Pull & Pay Type Junkyards
If you are the type of car owner that loves dragging your tools out into a field full of vehicles then pull and pay junkyards are for you. At these yards, you have to walk the property just to find the right car, truck, van or SUV. Once you locate it, then you hope your part is there and still in good working order. Only then can you start dismantling the car to remove your part. Don’t forget, you’ll have to carry your parts and your tools back to the cashier. This option sounds like a lot of work.
Benefits of a Full-Service Junkyard
For vehicle owners who don’t have the time to spend all day lugging tools around a junkyard in hopes of finding a part, there are junkyards that operate more like parts stores. The parts you need have already been removed by the on-site mechanics. Each part is cleaned and inspected then listed in the inventory. In just minutes, a quick phone call or online search of their stock can tell you whether or not the part you need is available. The bonus? You stay clean, you don’t need tools and your part is ready for installation.
