One of the classic stories about my dad is his first vehicle. Because his mom certainly could not afford to buy him a car, and the money he made on side jobs and summer employment was not going to get him a car, he got very crafty. He went to the junkyard, bought four junk vehicles, and took the good parts to form one working vehicle. Every time he needed maintenance done, he would go to the best charities to donate car and either find the part in good condition or refurbish a semi-decent part. Through all this work, he became very good at truck repair, which made him very proud. He tells stories about cruising around town with his brother in tow like the two of them were the president and vice president in this beat up old Ford.

They also have a full database which makes it much easier, and quicker to locate parts than at a dealership. Even if they don’t have the part you need, they can get it to you pretty quickly.
Contacting an auto recycling company is typically more convenient and preferred more than doing it yourself. Even recycle guys who scraps cars often times get cash for junk cars from one of these services.
But, while it’s great to feel good about helping the environment, it’s even better to feel good about having a couple of quid to spend on something you’ve had your eye on.
