It’s practically impossible to part out every single part of a car. Between 25 and 50 percent of a vehicle will finally be sent to a recycler to be shredded. That means a car shell will still need to be disposed of once it’s been stripped of all useful parts.
Once you’ve decided your car isn’t worth fixing any longer, you’ll want to get it out of your driveway. You can either try to part it out and get more money back out of it or haul it to the shredder or salvage yard. They’ll put it out in the yard and where someone might ultimately pick it over, looking for cheap auto parts.
If you’ve ever gone to parts stores, you know spare parts aren’t cheap. You’ll quickly learn where to look for parts cars or a wrecking yard where you can find used parts for cheap. Pick and Pull Part, salvage yards, car wreckers, car dismantlers, auto recyclers – they’re all just other names for pick and pull parts stores.
The model is pretty simple: it’s a self-serve system for finding used parts. You bring your own tools along, find cars with the part that hopefully fits your needs, take it off on your own, and bring it home to install on your own car.
After a car has spent hundreds of thousands of kilometres on the road, burned through several sets of tires, and been fixed lots of times, there’s a point to call it quits. Your vehicle needs to be disposed.
