Buy Quality Used Auto Parts by Wendy Lloyd

Junk Yards Gone are the days of used auto parts residing in "junk yards". Today, your quality used auto and truck parts are dismantled in automotive recycling facilities. The best yards sell warranted parts, ship globally, have access to computerized parts inventory systems, store all hard parts in warehouses to prevent rusting, rack body panels individually to prevent damage, clean and test parts for quality control, and recycle oil, freon, gas, anti-freeze and other hazardous fluids. The Original Recycler The used automotive industry is the original recycler. And while the masses have collectively coordinated efforts to recycle glass, plastic, paper and aluminum cans, the dismantler is recycling entire cars: glass, plastic, steel, hazardous material, electronic parts, seats and hard to get parts.   Quality Control Today, quality is the biggest goal for the industry. After many years of bad publicity, the automotive recycling industry is aggresively pursuing quality control.

This industry's primary business is to sell used parts; thus saving the energy and resources necessary to make new parts or to melt the metal for re-use.   Old Perceptions In years past, the used part you bought may have been on its last legs, marked down and available for 10-year-old cars. Not anymore. For example, top of the line, late model vehicles damaged in the rear have terrific, like- new hard parts and sheet metal available. And that is what you can expect when you contact Bodyline Auto Recyclers.
