Car Repair: Questions Request

While some mechanics are fighting this change, quite a few are embracing it. They realize they no longer are responsible for warranties on parts. Also, they no longer have to worry about paying their parts suppliers on time. In fact, some mechanics actually give out web addresses to companies they want their customers to purchase from. Even though they lose the profit they would have made on the parts, they will generally have fewer headaches when it comes to getting such parts for their customers. A few mechanics have even gone as far as just charging more for the labor.



You can also use a nationally recognized business to junk your car. There are many businesses who buy off cars that don't have titles. You will need to contact the business, and mention that the car has no title. They will then guide you, step-by-step, on the process of the car removal. Some companies also have a vehicle documentation guide live on their websites that might be helpful to you.

A great alternative is the junkyard. Often when a car is totaled and sent to the auto parts store near here, the spare tire is intact. Many have never even been used. So how do you find a great match there?

To start off, try checking out a junk yard. Usually, people don't throw away individual parts, they throw away entire machines. These machines may have a few bad parts, but the ones you're looking for could be in perfect condition. On top of that, you'll get them for next to nothing. Not to mention it's a great place to find obsolete models.

Many lovers of cars from all over the world are attracted to antique auto parts. As a result, there are also many suppliers of these kind of items that are not usually found in the general markets.

Get online. First things first -- you'll want to determine what the value of your car is. Even if it isn't running or has some major problems, it could be worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Check with Kelley Blue Book or NADAGuides to find out what your car is worth.
