You may be asking, why should I sell my car to a car salvage company? You should do it because there are many benefits of doing so. A car salvage company will actually be willing to tow your car from the specified location without charging you anything. Furthermore they will pay you cash there and then on the spot.

In addition, when a car is stored in a garage it is not dust and dirt free. Whilst the garage may be able to protect it from the detriments of nature, and car thieves, the car is still exposed to dust and dirt, and hence will still need constant cleaning.

Obviously the less damaged the car is the easier it will be to fix, however, the more expensive it will be. You want to look for vehicles with body damage and preferably in the backend. Do note, that any car that has been in an accident will most likely need engine repair. The jolt from the impact often shakes parts loose and possibly damages them.

As for the price of gold and money, aside from the age of the vehicle there is the make and model. In this case foreign car parts are much more expensive than domestically made cars. Most people who buy foreign cars don't realize this or even think about it until it comes time to get their vehicle repaired. Then they get hit with the bill and their eyes pop out of their head. For example, an oil filer for a 2005 Buick Century is about $2.98. The same oil filter for a Honda CRV is $3.98. It's basically the same filter for the Honda but it costs $1.00 more. That comes out to a 33% markup on a relatively cheap part. Imagine that same 33% markup on a part that costs $60 for the Buick. You'd be paying about $80 for the same part for the Honda.

First you want to park your car on an even surface. This will prevent the car from sliding off of your trolley jack. It is also advised to stay on a paved surface instead of grass or gravel. When you park the car make sure to use the parking brake also. It should be advised to let the car sit for a while before working under any car to let it cool.

Some are more organized than others and will have the parts taken off the vehicles and housed on shelves for easy location purposes. Many today have computerized systems that keep track of exactly what they have in stock and even offer the items online. This practice is the exception and definitely not the rule. Most salvage yards look exactly as they are pictured to look, jammed with vehicles, dirty and not well kept.

It is suggested that you do some research before you have an emergency if you will be looking for parts. Research some sites and find a few that are appealing. Then try looking for sample parts that you might need in the near future or pretend to need them and see if you can find them. This will give you an idea of what you can find on the site.

Who can go to one? Because of the risk involved, insurance salvage auto auctions are only open to car dealers that have a valid license. But, you can become friends with a local dealer that might take you along with them to their next auction. 9 times out of 10 they'll charge you a fee though.

Skimp on coverage: College students might be tempted to get cheapo insurance with minimal coverage. But that's the wrong way to go. You should really consider buying and keeping full coverage insurance on a used car rather than minimal coverage on an SUV because then you can be assured that for almost anything that happens to you and your car, you are covered. Full insurance will come with a higher deductible but having a higher deductible is a good incentive to be a more responsible driver.
