How A Person Save Money Using Used Auto Parts
Do not bid on a parcel that sits next to a junkyard; noise, dust, stench, environment waste, etc. will all be waiting for you if you win this gem! Good luck selling it!!!
Eliminate toxic substances. Many times toxins are left in the garage- old paint, harsh cleaners, bug repellents, old garden/lawn sprays and fertilizers, etc. Take one afternoon to gather all the old toxins and research how to recycle them properly. Try looking on recycling resource websites your local city or village website.
Most salvage companies have "hot lines" that connect them with other companies. These are used to transfer information, such as requests for specific car parts. That means that you don't have to hop from salvage yard to salvage yard in search of your car parts. You can simply check out a single salvage yard. If they don't have what you're looking for, they're likely to find it from another dealer via the hot line.
This is why it works: Accounts that are less than 30 days old are very easy to collect, and should remain the focus of internal A/R efforts. 30-60 days late starts to get difficult, but is still within the scope of what your staff should be focusing on.
Many people have tons of metal (literally!) and scrap just lying around their yards, or in their garage and old sheds that they just want to get rid of for a number of reasons.
So where can you find salvage WWII vehicles? I doubt you will be able to go to your local junk yard and find a old WWII vehicle. These trucks and cars are most certainly long gone. The junk yards are able to get too much of a payoff from these metals to have them just sit around. No, I bet the best place to find these vehicles are in private yards.
Mark Barnard and I were talking about a new account we are coaching and training. We were talking about the new client's database, lead generation practices, follow-up and organization. Mark described it as a "Lead Generation 2005 hyundai xg350". The client's database consisted of a disorganized mess; a collection of leads with no priority assigned, follow-up dates or source noted. Yet, it is a large database of leads. Even Linder's was quite organized and I'm sure that's why, at least at one point, they were the biggest in the world.
Before you take all of your items to the scrap yard, you should call first and make sure they will accept what you have. It can be very aggravating if you leave the scrap yard with half of what you brought. You should also follow proper procedure when dealing with hazardous materials. Cutting yourself on a rusty piece of metal can cause serious damage. You never know what kind of scrap will contain harmful material and you should always handle items that you think are hazardous properly. Being in the scrap metal injury will increase your chance of an accident. It is very important to be careful and know what type of scrap metal has what kind of materials in it and if they cause a risk for injury or harm to the environment.
Then there were the rest of the buyers. They were the ones that really had not planned on buying a new car but didn't want to pass up the "FREE" money. Some would have bought a car 6 months to a year down the road but went ahead and took the plunge while they could get their share.
