Guidelines to Follow When Shopping At a Houston Salvage Yard

  • Mar 26, 2019

As we all know, purchasing used auto parts from a Houston salvage yard or junkyard is a great alternative to buying new auto parts, as buying new can get expensive. Used auto parts are often just as good and reliable as new ones, and are sometimes the only alternative when looking for parts that are no longer manufactured.

Guidelines to Shopping At a Junkyard

While purchasing used auto parts carries a plethora of advantages, one should be careful when buying. Here are a few guidelines to follow when purchasing used auto parts:

  • Know exactly what you need. It may sound obvious, but knowing exactly what you need ahead of time will save you a tremendous amount of time, and eliminate the risk of getting the wrong part. If possible, bring the old part with you to compare with the parts at the junkyard. If you are shopping at a full service salvage yard such as Airline Auto Parts, show the old part to the employee, so that they can find you an exact match.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t worry about bothering the person behind the counter with too many questions. Dealing with novice mechanics are a daily occurrence for those working in a junkyard. In fact, here at Airline Auto Parts, we respect anyone who takes on the challenge of fixing a car themselves.
  • Be sure the part is returnable. Unfortunately, sometimes no matter how many precautions you take, you’ll somehow end up with the wrong part. Therefore, it’s wise to check the junkyard’s return policy before purchasing. A great thing about our Houston junkyard is that we back all of our parts with a 6-month money-back guarantee.
