As a senior automotive entrepreneur, I would say
that now the time has been changed and scrap yards are much more organised and
helping compared to the 10 years ago or so.
If you are visiting Auckland based salvage yards and
planning to pick a part on your own, then it could be time consuming and apparently,
people don’t have time anymore. This is the reason why all the junkyards hired
a staff to help out people get the right part for your needs. Crew members can
search the auto parts faster than you because they know how the automotive
inventory been organised based on the vehicle make and model’s algorithm.
If you are looking for the second hand tyres or
wheels, then better to visit the tire shops rather than junkyards through.
Get the vehicle’s engine’s chassis number handy
Before contacting any salvage yard, please make sure
that you should have the vehicle’s registration number or engine’s chassis
number handy because this is the first thing that should be asked to identify
the auto part needed. Engine’s chassis numbers can be easily copied from the
car engine, if you can’t recognise then take a photo and forward to the
junkyard team.
Find the local salvage yard & give them a call
Get in touch with the top local junkyards listed in
your phone book or you can also Google them online with the desired keywords.
Most of scrap yards will you opt to call them free. Just give them a free call
and get the quote for the auto part needed and note down the price.
Get the quotation for the desired replacement part
Get the quotation with and without shipping if
possible. In case, you are living far from the salvage yards then you can get them
to your door by paying little extra for the shipping charges.
Compare the multiple quotes
It is always better to get the multiple quotations
to choose from. You should check few terms and warranty period as well, not
just the price. Most individuals can sell you faulty part at the cheapest price
and no warranty. Beware of these frauds and do not rip off.
