Your Retail Store. Retail auto supply chains typically have the broadest selection and the lowest prices of any of the brick and mortar retailers. Your best option for a good buy is when something is on sale; stock items will cost you the prevailing retail rate, but that is the price you pay for convenience. Overhead [buildings, labor] is high even with most national retailers.

Were you aware that when you buy used/recycled car parts, you are helping to save the environment? New car parts can emit more pollution than their used counterparts. When a manufacturer produces a new car part, they use more oil than they did in the past. When you reuse raw materials you are doing your part to reduce pollutants in the air. Discovering the right parts for your car should be easy, with so many auto parts recyclers in the US, there are more than enough car parts to pick from.

Brokerages are pretty much legal cartels, who will charge you somewhere into the five figures for the privilege of introducing you to the landlords who would advertise in the paper if the brokers would let them. Don’t let their connections to the concrete and toyota of springfield mo industries intimidate you. Just let the broker, a dark-haired man in a chalk-stripe suit with a red carnation named “Floyd the Finger”, introduce you to Nice-Guy Ned, Mickey the Mole, and Snake Eyes Sam, who will be your landlords today. This is New York. Be grateful you are being treated to such high company.

Prepping a car to be towed to the car salvage yard isn’t something most people want to deal with. So the next option is to call a professional car removal company.

Used car parts usually cost much less than new ones. For example, the top frame of a late model convertible may cost over $2,000 if you buy the part new. But, that same part can be purchased used for as little as $700. One of the reasons for the difference in price is that new parts often need to be assembled. used auto parts are already assembled and simply need to be installed on – or in – your vehicle.

So the police officer will have a local tow truck dispatched to the scene to remove your now crumpled car. The tow truck will deliver the car to an impound yard and behind the scenes the city, the tower, and the impound yard will be drafting up their invoices to bill you for their “help.” In the Dallas/Fort Worth area these charges will run close to a thousand dollars!

So go ahead and look for used car parts that will bring your favorite car back to life. It does not matter how big or how small the part is, salvage yards make every effort to salvage as much as they can from every car that is parked in their yard to be recycled.

If the salvage yard isn’t your thing, there are other options. Often, salvage cars are sold privately by their owners. eBay can be a great tool in finding these privately-sold salvage cars. Websites like vehixx may also list salvage cars being sold privately.
