Salvage Parts You Can Rely On at All Import Auto Parts

Salvage Parts

Let’s talk about salvage parts for a little while if you don’t mind. We at All Import Auto Parts think that the word “salvage” gets a bad rap, just as the term “salvage yard” gets a bad rap.

Gone are the days of the old neighborhood salvage yard where you would walk around for hours looking for the used part you need, not knowing if the part was even going to work when you get it home. Today’s salvage yards, or maybe we should say the reputable salvage yards, have computer inventories of every part on their lot and can tell you with the click of their computer mouse whether they have what you need AND if they don’t they can find it instantly and have it delivered for you.

What do you need? Do you need some Audi parts or Benz parts? How about some Hyundai used parts or Infiniti used parts? Name an import car and All Import Auto Parts has the replacement part for that car. Now that’s quite a claim but with over five million replacement parts available there is a pretty good chance we can back up that claim.

And what about those recycled parts? Can they be trusted? Well think about it now and then you decide. A BMW 318i gets in a car wreck. The frame is bent, it is declared a total loss, and it gets picked up by All Import Auto Parts. There is nothing wrong with the alternator or the fuel pump, or for that matter the ignition or radiator or transmission. The frame got bent, the insurance company declared it a total loss, and perfectly reliable salvage parts for that 318i are sitting on our lot right now waiting for you. And in case you are still skeptical we give a warranty with every car part on our lot. You read that correctly: we guarantee your satisfaction or you can have your money back and if that part fails within the life of your warranty you will be covered.

Now, does that sound like the old salvage yards of fifty years ago? The name All Import means exactly that: we specialize in import auto parts, but recently we even added on an aftermarket division for imports and domestic, so chances are whatever the heck you need we have it at our salvage yard. And you don’t have to waste hours walking around our lot looking for that import part AND our staff is knowledgeable AND personable.

So seriously, why in the world wouldn’t you go to All Import Auto Parts? Save money, get guaranteed import parts, and keep that import of yours running smoothly.

 

All Import Auto Parts Has Your Mirrors

Salvage Parts

For the purpose of this article we are going to assume there are those out there who are interested in vehicle mirrors and in particular the history of the vehicle rear-view mirror. Come on, folks, everyone loves a little history from time to time, right?

The rear-view mirror actually dates back to the horse-and-buggy times, when drivers would carry a hand mirror with them and hold that mirror up from time to time to see what was behind them.

Historians generally agree that the first mounted rear-view mirror appeared at the Indianapolis 500 race in 1911 in a Marmon racecar driven by Ray Harroun.

And the first rear-mirror produced by a corporation was made by a gentleman by the name of Elmer Berger, again in the early 1900’s.

We’ve come a long way since then. First the side mirrors were added to increase safety, then technology figured out how to produce the “dimming” feature using prismatics, otherwise known as the day/night mirror, which can be tilted to cut down glare from headlights and sunlight. Technology took that one step further and developed photo sensors which detect light and dim the mirror automatically. You have to wonder what those old horse-and-buggy drivers would think about mirrors that dim automatically?

Mirrors are parts of a vehicle that are so simple to replace that it seems silly to go to a mechanic to have the job done. And it seems equally silly to pay top dollar for replacement parts like mirrors when very suitable mirrors can be found at reputable salvage yards like All Import Auto Parts that guarantee all of their import car parts. Going to a salvage yard means saving up to 60% on the replacement part and if you have a screw driver you can save upwards of $50 per hour on labor. Now who wouldn’t want to do that?

If it’s aftermarket parts that you seek then many fine salvage yards carry those too, and usually at a discount, so we go back to the point that there Is no logical reason to buy your replacement parts anywhere other than a salvage yard when you are in need of a car mirror. Unless, of course, you just have a hankering to spend too much money?

So there you go! A little history lesson and several reasons why the next time you need a side mirror or rear-view mirror you would be nutso to go anywhere other than All Import Auto Parts.
