FAQ
What should I bring to a self-service yard?
Your own tools, including the sockets and a breaker bar, gloves, penetrating oil, something to kneel on and a way to carry the part out. Take the old part with you if you can, and photograph the part number. Cash is still king at the gate, and most yards ban jacks and torches.
How do I know a part from another model fits?
Ask the counter for the interchange, which is the list of models and years that share your part. The staff at a full-service yard look it up as a matter of routine. Bring your car's identification number, because trim level and build date often split a part that looks identical on the shelf.
Will a yard collect a car that does not run?
Most will, and the collection cost usually comes out of what they pay you for the car. Tell them honestly whether the wheels turn, whether the car sits on a slope or behind other vehicles, and whether the keys exist, since all three change the truck they send. Take the plates off and clear the glovebox first.
