Salvage Yard 101: Tips And Tricks For Picking Parts

I grew up right beside an automotive salvage yard. They bought scrap cars and sold second-hand parts. I spent a lot of time in the yard there exploring the cars and learning everything I could about how they worked, how to find the right used parts, and ways to make the most of a salvage yard trip. That is why I decided to create this site. I wanted to help others understand how they could use their local salvage yard to their advantage when they are trying to repair a car. I hope that the information here helps you approach your next parts search with ease.
