How A Junkyard Operates

You'll be using lift bags, ropes, and who knows what else to recover planes, cars, boats, people, and anything that sinks. Your job is to first locate whatever has sunk beneath the water's surface. Next dive down to find it. Then figure out the best way to bring that sunken object back to the surface and to its rightful owner. And then your job is done... until someone else sinks something valuable.



Whether you drive a four door luxury sedan, a streamlined speed machine or a heavy duty SUV, repairing your vehicle when it is damaged can be expensive. Parts costs are a huge factor in many repairs.

One of the classic stories about my dad is his first vehicle. Because his mom certainly could not afford to buy him a car, and the money he made on side jobs and summer employment was not going to get him a car, he got very crafty. He went to the car repair near me open saturday, bought four junk vehicles, and took the good parts to form one working vehicle. Every time he needed maintenance done, he would go to the junkyard and either find the part in good condition or refurbish a semi-decent part. Through all this work, he became very good at truck repair, which made him very proud. He tells stories about cruising around town with his brother in tow like the two of them were the president and vice president in this beat up old Ford.

The next technique is to be very thorough and meticulous in inspecting potential autos you want to bid on. Do not end your inspection just by looking at the auto's exterior but instead, make it a point to inspect its parts, interiors, and the engine. Many salvage cars have figured in vehicular accidents so you want to make sure that the one you pick is still in a very good condition. If possible, bring a mechanic with you when going to an auction, unless if you are very knowledgeable about vehicles.

If that still doesn't seem convincing, how about also blocking off radio? Or books? Imagine taking away a bratty child's ability to read anything. Now it seems sacrilegious; deny a child their learning?
