Rims must meet or exceed the ACU-TRU Standard. ACU-TRU is the nation's first wheel and rim repair quality control system.

Even if an auto part isn't working for you, it may be of some use to someone else. It takes time to track down someone that needs the part so the recycling center may be the perfect middleman for the job. You can drop off all of the parts that you are not using. Eventually, someone else may call up the facility and ask about that exact part. Some broken parts can be repaired and reused. While dealers and other car repair shops may not be able to use these items, someone looking to fix his or her own vehicle will be able to save some cash by putting on a used part.

But it is not just our plastics, glass, metals and paper that we recycle. Thanks to a wonderful programme through the Islington council, last year we were able to purchase a subsidized wormery to recycle our food waste into compost and liquid fertilizer for growing my own food. Actually, even though we may think that food thrown into the bin will degrade relatively quickly in the landfills, the biggest problem is the amount of methane, a dangerous green house gas, which it produces in that time. Methane is twenty times more potent than carbon dioxide and a major contribute to climate change. While my wormery cannot accommodate meat products I put all peels and unused fruits and vegetables into it. I should soon be harvesting my first patch of compost...just in time for my summer garden.

But how do you go about comparing deals before you buy? Fortunately, there are quite a few sites that specialize in just searching the web for sites that sell car inventory and do an in-depth comparison of their prices, delivery, after-sales service, etc. The resulting chart is very easy to understand and lets you know which auto parts online dealers to stick with and those ones to definitely stay miles away from.

For parts that are large, some auto salvage yards will haul them for you. This is something to ask when you make the phone call. Some people will buy the entire vehicle in order to scrap it themselves. Other parts such as trunk lids, hoods, door panels, and roofs can be too large for some to haul as well. If you need them to haul it for you, ask them how much they will do it for. Make sure that you comparison shop if you feel the price is too steep. If no one else can do any better or they don't have the part, you can always call them back and tell them you will be there to make the purchase. You are not obligated the moment you make the phone call.

But there is more to an auto part than just the part itself. The make and model and year of your car will have a great impact on how much the part will cost to replace and how easy the part is to get.
