Finding the right replacement part for your vehicle that fits & is at the right price is your primary concern. That is why when your car needs a repair or replacement car part, a good option is OEM-used replacement parts at My Auto Store. These used auto parts have their benefits (aside from being cheaper).
Even if you have a newer vehicle, you should consider an OEM-used auto part versus ordering brand-new after-market replacements from your local big box auto parts store or car dealership. The best place to find these types of OEM replacement parts is the local junkyard or auto recycling center. Here are some of the benefits of shopping for used auto parts.
The Benefits of Buying Used Auto Parts
- You Save Money
With used auto parts, you obviously save money over purchasing replacement parts brand-new. With My Auto Store, you do not have to go through the hassles of wasting a day at the self-service U-Pull junkyard or getting dirty looking for the part you need. Instead, you can search our used auto parts inventory online, or contact our auto parts specialists & we can check the inventory for you. If we have the part in stock, we will pull it for you.
- More Environmentally Friendly
Purchasing used auto parts is better for the environment. Instead of those components wasting away in a salvage or junkyard, they are being repurposed & used in your vehicle. The resources required to make replacement parts from scratch are also preserved.
Statistics to Know About Vehicle Recycling and Purchasing Used Parts
- Twelve to 15 million vehicles reach their end of life each year in the United States.
- Seventy-Five percent of vehicle materials are recycled.
- Recycled products provide 14 million tons of steel.
- The steel industry saves energy with recycling — enough to power almost 18 million households per year.
- Recycling metal uses 74 percent less power consumption than making metal from ore.
- Eighty-five million barrels of oil are saved annually for recycling versus making steel from ore.
- More Selection for Older Parts
Older vehicles have a harder time finding replacement parts for their vehicle. Ordering them from the manufacturer, may take weeks and cost an extraordinary amount of money. Often, vehicles that are more than a few decades old do not have the option of new replacement parts.
When you go hunting for those parts from a self-service salvage yard, you could spend hours trying to find the necessary components, often without luck. My Auto Store’s selection of used auto parts is inventoried and searchable online using the part search menu option. When you come to us, you have a larger selection of used auto parts, including those that are for older makes and models — sometimes vintage models too.
- Used Auto Parts are Working and OEM Replacement Part Options
The parts found at My Auto Store are of the highest quality even though they are used. They are tested & working components, as well as OEM equipment, meaning that the part is going to have a better fit for your car or truck repair. Often when a car reaches the end of its life cycle, it still has many parts that are working and have thousands of more miles to go.
My Auto Store recovers those parts and puts them back into commission so they don’t go to waste. Used auto parts like auto body components & auto glass make for perfect solutions to save on auto body repairs for cars & trucks still in service.
The Selection of Replacement Car Parts You Can Find at My Auto Store
At My Auto Store, we carry an extensive selection of replacement car parts for a vast majority of makes and models including used engines and transmissions.
Even newer model auto parts are here at our store. After all, a more recent model vehicle may be considered “totaled” in an accident, but the parts of the car are still operational and valuable. Therefore, our team extracts the components that work before recycling the remainder of the vehicle.
Just some of the parts you may find at our store include:
- Interior Components: We have everything from door trim to speedometers, steering columns, and instrument clusters for most makes and models.
- Engine Components: Our team can help you find the parts for your assembly or cylinder heads.
