There are a number of websites today that feature a list of auto salvage suppliers who can hook you up with the used car parts you need. The process is simple and you can find what you are looking for from the comfort of your own home. Searching for options online can save you the trouble of running from one salvage yard to another or making unnecessary calls to salvage yards you know nothing about.
The best way to keep an adjustor from get away with this is to call a junk yard and ask them what they would pay for your vehicle. If the junk yard says $75, you have your answer. That's a big difference from $500! When adjustors hear you want to keep your "totaled" car that says to them you have an emotional attachment to it. Then it's time for them to play on those emotions. They will try to subtract too high of a salvage value from the money you legally deserve. If an adjustor trys to tell you your totaled car is worth too much, just tell them to call the junk yard you got your offer from and they'll start negotiating better!
Remove the license plates and registration. You'll need to remove personal and business effects from your car before it is towed away. Remove documentation from the glove compartment except for the owner's manual. You'll want to take its registration, insurance information and license plates with you. Check the various storage compartments and the trunk for additional personal items. Return the license plates to the DMV.
Auction Houses: Auctions are great places to search for used car parts. People dislodge the parts of their cars and these are sold online to the highest bidder. The best way to locate auctions for the car-parts you want is browsing for the auto part itself. If you search for car part auctions, you'll get innumerable results. So first detect the part of the car you want and then verify which auction sites are listed for it. You may have to pay a small shipping charge unless you order a bulk.
An insurance adjustor tells someone who has a car that is technically "totaled", that if he or she wants to keep the car and fix it himself, they are going to deduct a large salvage value from the settlement (let's say $500). They will say this large deduction reflects what the wrecked car is worth currently. The adjustor also states that the car prior to being totaled was only worth $2000, so you are only going to receive $1500 for the totaled car.
There are different places one can look for auto parts such as local specialty stores, online stores or auto parts auctions, and last but not least junk or al's junkyard yards. Every place has its pros and cons.
When buying auto parts online you also want to stay away from using paypal and Google checkout when buying car parts. Even though they are safe, most of the time they charge a percentage which YOU have to pay for. If the auto parts company has an SSL certificate you are perfectly safe buying from them. Also, make sure you look at the design of the site.
Many parts that you can buy will be rebuilt. This is not the same as a used part from a salvage yard. When you buy a re-manufactured or rebuilt part there is an extra fee. It is called a core charge. For example, the starter might be fifty dollars. The core charge might be fifteen dollars. The initial cost will be sixty-five dollars. When you bring your old part in, the store refunds you the core charge. As long as the starter is not severely damaged, you will get the money back.
