The Hidden Treasures of a Scrap Yard: How to Find Quality Spare Parts on a Budget
For many car repairmen, a scrap yard is a treasure trove full of affordable spares and parts waiting for a second chance to prove their abilities. These yards can offer a huge variety of used auto spares at a fraction of the price of new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicle spares and are a goldmine for those willing to dig deep for their rewards.
Whether you’re a DIY weekend warrior or a professional vehicle restorer with a budget-sensitive project, you need to visit A.S.A.P. Spares, leaders in pre-owned spares and owners of difficult-to-find treasures in our scrap yard.
The Cost Benefits of Shopping at a Scrap Yard
OEM car parts, especially from dealerships or authorised retailers, can be expensive and have long waiting lists. However, car repairmen can significantly cut costs while still getting quality components simply by choosing used auto spares. Many parts from our scrap yard are typically only slightly used and can still provide years of reliable service.
Our used vehicle parts and spares are durable, designed to last, and engineered by the brands’ original designers. We meticulously source all our parts from only trusted vendors, selected auctions, and owner-approved purchasers, ensuring that our spares will last.
Discovering Unexpected Finds
A major benefit of visiting our organised yard is finding those hard-to-find parts. Whether it’s a rare electrical component, an obscure body panel, or specific fittings and fixtures, our well-stocked yard will house parts that are difficult to source elsewhere. Repairmen may be surprised at what they find when they dig through our wrecks. For example, components like door handles, bumpers, rubber hoses, and so much more can be easily found, often at a fraction of the cost of their OEM counterparts.
Moreover, cosmetic parts like body panels, windscreens, windows, and door trims are also available in excellent condition, so you can restore your vehicle’s appearance on a budget. Additionally, many vehicles have been carefully stripped of their valuable spares and stored safely undercover, meaning that you can find parts that are almost as good as new, and that won’t break the bank.
