Recycling Efforts Help Us All

Salvage Parts

In eleven days we will celebrate Earth Day, that annual wordwide event that allows us to stop and contemplate how we can help this planet that we live on.

First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day today is observed by 175 nations as awareness grows.  Events are held in towns around the world; thousands of schools have special events like tree plantings and more and more communities pick up the pace in their recycling efforts.

Look at how far we have come.  The 1940 Census was just released and that serves as a perfect reference point regarding Earth Day.  In 1940 the idea of recycling was about as foreign an idea as you could imagine.  Car factories in the United States were churning out close to five million cars, each one of which required raw materials produced from mining efforts.  When people had used oil it was usually dumped on the ground to soak into the ground and eventually end up in the water supply.  Newspapers were tossed away and more trees cut down for the next day’s news.

Now look at where we are!  All Import Auto Parts is of course doing our daily thing to help in the recycling effort.  You may not have thought about this but every single item that we sell at our Fort Worth salvage yard is in fact a recycled auto part.  That simply means that instead of new auto parts being produced which of course means more mining, we are selling used replacement parts and lessening the effect of mining.

Every time you come to our modern junk yard you are doing your part for recycling and by extension for Earth Day.  Buying used batteries and then making sure you dispose of your old ones properly is helping the Earth.  Buying used transmissions helps the Earth.  Buying used radiators and making sure that your old radiator is properly recycled helps the Earth.  While you are doing that you are saving money because you all know by now that buying replacement auto parts like fuel pumps is less expensive and just a smart thing to do.

So here we are available to you so you can save money and help the environment.  Salvage yards were around in 1940 doing their part for a better environment long before anyone even cared about the environment.  We were the wave of the future and because of our loyal customers we will continue to be the wave of the future.  Thank you and we will see you soon!

 

Car Maintenance Should Happen Now Before Summer Vacation

Salvage Parts

Guess what starts tomorrow?  If you guessed The Masters Golf Tournament you were right on!  April 5-8 the best golfers in the world will tee it up at Augusta National for one of the most coveted titles in the world of golf.  If you are a weekend golfer there is nothing better than watching Tiger Woods or Rory McElvoy walking down the fairways lined with azaleas and magnolia trees.  This really is a “must see” if golf is your thing.

The Masters, of course, signals that spring is upon us in a big way and that means summer is right around the corner. Major League baseball has begun and if the Boys of Summer are playing then your vacation is coming up soon.  Vacations, of course, mean traveling and traveling means having your vehicle running properly so you can enjoy every moment of that hard-earned time off.

Now is the time to do a vehicle maintenance inspection.  Maybe you have a cracked windshield that needs attention.  Have you checked those tires for wear and tear?  How about the transmission fluid and the oil level?  Some of the simplest maintenance tasks can mean a great deal to your car, van or truck.  Drivers would be amazed at the thousands of dollars that could be saved on repair if only the fluid levels had been checked on a regular basis.  All of those moving parts in your engine and car parts need lubricating so get out there and check them now.

How are your brakes?  Are they a little sluggish or is your foot almost touching the floor board when you press down on them?  It might be time to replace the rotors and/or calipers.  How about that transmission of yours?  Is it shifting smoothly?  Whether it be an automatic transmission or a manual, make sure you pay attention to how smooth it shifts between gears.  If there is a bump or grinding or if a gear slips you may need some replacement parts very soon.

Listen! We really want you to be able to enjoy that summer vacation and the last thing you need is to be stranded on the side of the road going nowhere.  Come in and see us at All Import Auto Parts.  Tell us what you need, let us pick up the used part from our salvage yard and we will have you back on the road again in no time.  Replacement parts are inexpensive and reliable at our junk yard so do not delay doing that vehicle maintenance inspection.
