FAQs on used auto parts stores in State Center

Are they open on weekends?

+
−

Some of them, so check their operating hours.

What types of car parts can I find?

+
−

They typically have a wide range of parts, including engines, transmissions, body panels, interior components, and more.

Can I pay with a credit card?

+
−

Many salvage yards and used auto parts stores accept credit cards as a payment method. In case of some self-service junkyards, may accept credit cards for entrance fees or additional services, but many primarily deal in cash transactions. The nature of self-service yards, where customers pull their own parts, often involves a simpler and more straightforward payment process, and cash is commonly preferred.

Do they offer warranties?

+
−

Some provide limited warranties on certain parts. Inquire about their specific policies.

How realiable are the parts they sell?

+
−

These come from pre-owned automotive components sourced from vehicles that have been retired, damaged, or otherwise no longer in use. Quality and reliability can vary depending on the source and the inspection processes carried out by the salvage yard, junkyard, or seller.

  • Junkyard parts come from vehicles found in a junkyard, a place where decommissioned, wrecked, or older vehicles are stored, and parts are available for salvage. These are cheaper but less carefully inspected or tested compared to other options.
  • Salvage parts are components salvaged from vehicles that have been deemed a total loss by insurance companies due to accidents, damage, or other reasons. These are usually inspected and, if deemed usable, are removed and made available for resale. Salvage yards may have stricter guidelines for assessing the condition of these parts compared to typical junkyards.

While can be a cost-effective solution, especially for older or less common vehicles, it's essential to approach the purchase with caution.

Do they sell used tires and wheels?

+
−

Yes, you can often find used tires and wheels in good condition.

Can I negotiate prices of used parts?

+
−

Is possible at some junkyards, particularly if you're purchasing multiple parts.
