Junkyards And Junkyard Dog

Air Conditioning Compressors bring a few bucks too... Most cars that I scrap out have the air conditioning compressor just below the alternator. So while you're right there, you might as well take out the four screws holding it in place (most models) while you're at it. That will add an additional $3.00-$8.00 profit for you.



Before you remove the bed, either off of a truck at the manteca car dealer or off of your personal truck, there are a few things you need to do first. Unbolt the gas cap and line first. Almost every truck has the fuel access running into the bed of the truck, so that is where you typically start first. After that, you need to remove the grounding strap that goes from the cab of the truck to the bed. Both of these items are easy to remove. As well, you need to disconnect the light from the back of the truck bed. The lights should have some quick disconnect places so that they can be disconnected with little effort.

You can use this great auto diagnostics tool for your personal use or evenfor your own auto mechanic business. It will help you to get customer's jobs done right, by providing accurate diagnosis. You will be able to work at a quicker pace and get more customers work done. The result will be satisfied customers and more work and profits for you.

Also the automotive service business and the backyard mechanic will be affected because those cars that were scrapped cannot be used for parts. So if you go to a salvage yard, different from a scrap yard, you won't be able to find a good used part to fix your (clunker?) car. And if you can find used parts look to pay 20%-30% more due to shortage.

There are different places one can look for auto parts such as local specialty stores, online stores or auto parts auctions, and last but not least junk or salvage yards. Every place has its pros and cons.

A salvage lot that offers to buy your junk will pay you for it after it assess the value of the vehicle. This is usually done on the spot. If a salvage lot says that payment will be delayed for any reason, you should sell the automobile to a different junkyard.

Repairs are almost always out of question, sometimes the cost of repairs is such that you can buy a new car with that. Hence, rather than paying for repairs again and again and cursing your car for eating away so much of your money, you can scrap your car and earn money on your old car instead.
