It's sometimes the only option. With classic cars and out of production models, using salvage car parts is sometimes the only way to get your hands on parts. Many classic car marques actually have a substantial salvage parts business that has grown up around them, and networks of enthusiasts are a great way to source parts at a price that won't break the bank.

Adjusters will argue that this used part, second hand parts, re manufactured parts, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or/and after market parts are as good, if not better than the original ones. I believe this is a questionable claim.

Without further ado, here are a few names for car parts that might make you think twice if you heard them from your mechanic! Take some time to review them so if your mechanic mentions them during your next maintenance visit, you won't be completely confused, or worse, think he or she is making names of car parts up on the spot!

If you have a truck whose parts aren't readily available, be patient and look everywhere. Surf the Internet, get in touch with other owners of the same model of truck as yours, visit all the junkyards and keep looking. If the part simply doesn't exist anywhere you can always resort to fabrication. Find a good machine shop and have the part made to order. It may be expensive but you will have the right part in the right place. Your restoration will be much better than if you adapted something that wasn't right for your truck.

If you were going to a doctor and they told you, that you would need to get this, that and this done; you would probably get a second opinion, before you just jump onto an operating table. Treat your car the same way; get a second opinion.

When the parts arrive, call the car enthusiasts in your discount car parts club and have them pick up the order and drop off the payment payment. They'll be surprised at how much they saved and you may be able to get another order from them.

It goes without saying that if there is a problem in your auto parts, even one that you are not positive is there, but you just suspect; you bring it in to get checked. It is not worth the risk. These slight problems can grow. If you smell something in your engine, especially a smoky smell; these are warning signs. If your brakes are squealing, that is also a reason to take your car to be checked. Brakes are a very delicate auto part, and must be taken extreme care of. It is beyond dangerous for someone to have brakes that are not working. As soon as it seems like they are not at their best, you need to get them looked at.
