Things you Should Know about Used Auto Parts
Have you considered buying used auto parts? Are you having second thoughts?
Well, let me help you clear up your mind. Here are the things you should know about used auto parts and why.
- Old but new
Sounds confusing right? What I’m trying to say is that old parts but perform like brand new. Mostly used auto parts being brought to salvage yards are in good to best condition. But of course, make sure to deal with legitimate ones to ensure quality of all items sold. After all, used auto parts are tried and tested making it easy for you to decide whether to want them or not. - Is your used auto part from trusted suppliers?
It is always best to have a transaction with known supplier for assurance. Check to see if they have a license to operate. Most of these salvage yards have active website to promote their business so grab the opportunity and make an initial background check. Nobody wants to be fooled, right? - Used auto parts is cheaper than new parts
Oh well, big yes! This great advantage is so much in favor specially if you are a car savvy and you’ve wanted to have some additional parts or upgrade for your car. It is suitable to shop for used ones than purchase new allowing you to save up to 40-55 percent on average. Isn’t that great?! - OEM Standards
By the way, OEM stands for Short for Original Equipment Manufacturer Standard. New or after-market parts manufactured may or may not be identical to the parts originally manufactured for a certain automobile. The reason is that they may be from third party manufacturer. So used auto parts play a big role here. Due to some car owners deciding to junk their car, most of the parts there are original. You are sure that the part you are looking for (of course, same make and model) will fit and function properly.

Check for damage and rust look underneath the car check on the seams, the frame rails, the car flooring and also the trunk because those are the usual parts where rust tend to start. This also includes the paint, the paint is the first line of protection against the environment and also the one that gives that impression of “I want that car!” because of the paint job. Check for dents and scratches, the lesser of this problems the better. Check the doors, hood, and the trunk door, overtime this parts tend to not close firmly so it’s better to check them.

Check also for oil leaks it could be from the engine itself, suspension, steering or brakes to avoid unwanted accident.
The inside of the car. Check for the interiors, the seats, dashboard and carpeting. It’s better if the car has no history of flooding. Check the seatbelts, make sure it is in good condition and the buckles and the belt itself is free from cuts. Furthermore, check the gauges, if they are accurate. The fuel, speed and temperature gauge. They are telling you what is happening as you drive the car.
The accessories, additional features of the car. It’s good if all the accessories are intact when you inspect the car, it has good ventilation hot and cold weather, sound system, and car lighter socket for phone charging, it’s always better to maximize the whole car.

Things to Consider before Junking your Car
Selling your old car? This may sound hard because you need to undergo several processes, right? Well, it should not be. But the question is “How?”? To avoid having trouble with the salvage yard you choose, let me walk you through some of the important things you need to consider before salvaging your car (on your part, of course!)
1. Never leave important stuffs
When you have your car, it is really inevitable to place important things in it. We consider our cars like our second home most especially when you are travelling a lot and carry important things, either for school or work intended. Number one rule before you junk your car is to remove all your personal belongings. Be a keen observer. Make sure you check all places; from compartment to glove boxes and bins. This may also save you from creating issues during transaction. And of course, you don’t want to lose important document that can probably change your whole life if you mess it out.
2. Check for valuable components for additional bucks
This may be under you and your chosen salvage yard’s agreement. If the price agreed when they first inspected and priced your car meets what you think your car should be, you should turn it over as is. But for some instances that you think the price is lesser than you think your car values, you may take off some valuable components to sell like battery or stereo systems. This is a sure $$$ for your pocket.
3. Gasoline
You might be missing this spot but really, this can save you bucks right away. Do you know that salvage yards doesn’t care about the gasoline on your car? They need to drain all the fluids out before recycling or scrapping it. So the best thing to do is consume it. Take your car for a last ride. Or if it is not working anymore, you can siphon the gasoline out of your tank. But never puncture the fuel tank. The metal to metal friction will create ignition and can cause explosion. You may use a fuel siphon pump and make sure you are using only approved containers.
So if you think it is the best time to junk your car, give us a call at (718) 297-9797. We are pleased to serve you.
Windshields: How it’s made?
Do you know that drivers of the earliest cars had only goggles to shield them? Interesting isn’t it? But this not guarantees a safety trip knowing that different elements can cause harm along the way. This is when the idea of glass windshield came from. However, problems also arise together with this new invention as this can shatter on impact which can cause a lot of trouble and injuries to people. To prevent this, glass lamination was introduced; a shatterproof innovation in the automotive industry.
So here’s a short story on how to make a windshield. First, we will start with a plain sheet of glass. From there, an automatic plotter with a slicing wheel moves over the glass leaving a score line. Then a unit having a robotic arm holding a torch goes along the score line and the thermal shocks wraps up the cut. This is the best way to clearly cut through the glass. After cutting, the glass sheets will be taken to the sanding belts to takes off the sharp edges. This process is called seaming. Next the sheets will be washed in soapy water then dried and sprayed with a solution of combined water and talcum powder to prevent the sticking of the second sheet of glass. The machine now sets the second sheet on top of the newly sprayed one. This is only temporary as the sheets are layered for processing and will be pulled apart later. Next is the silk screening of black paint on the corner of the glass. This will be the inner part of the windshield. Then the glass will be carried to the inspection station. Furthermore, the glass sheets will be transferred to the bending iron where it is curved to shape according to specific windshield. Then, the two sheets of glass will be taken to the bending leer. The leer heats the sheets to 750 degrees Celsius causing the glass sheets to sink according to the shape of the bending iron. After this, it goes through a slow cooling cycle that toughens the new shape. Next, a vinyl is shaped through the glass and it will be taken to the newly shaped glass. Then another machine lowers the other identical sheet of glass sandwiching the vinyl. That’s your formula for the lamination. In case of an accident, the glass will be broken but not completely shatter, as the vinyl will hold the broken glass. Finally, for the remaining air pockets to disappear, the windshield will be taken to the machine called nipper which presses the windshield and releases the air pockets giving it a clear view. Then the windshields are safety inspected for toughness and quality assurance manually done by a human to check for scratches or any contamination in the glass and vinyl layers. That’s it! You have your windshield ready to be installed.
