You may not find any auto supply outlet with access to car parts for a ’49 Studebaker pickup or a ’32 Ford, but you may very well find salvage yards with cars that are being sold for parts.

And, just like the days of the frontier shopkeeper, the days of this salvage yard collections firm are gone. Progressive businesses have moved towards the Cash Collection System model.

junk car removal companies want your car for a variety of reasons. Usually it’s for spare parts or scrap metals. They gut out the car to the bare bones and resell the parts as spares. Used parts are preferred by enthusiasts and motorists because they are a lot cheaper. Once all valuable parts have been removed from the vehicle, the shell of the car is shredded and sold as scrap metal.

And if you can find used parts look to pay 20%-30% more due to shortage.

Do not worry, as the money which you will invest today on the repair and fixing of your car will come back to you in double the quantity tomorrow. Your main purpose should be to make your old car look good, no matter what means you use for it.

Aside from re-usability, the junkyard owner would also consider the condition of each reusable part when assessing your car’s value. The less dilapidated it is, the better.
