Tips For Buying Used Car Parts
Buying used car parts can be an overwhelming task. How do you trust an online seller or scrap yard you’ve never dealt with before? What if you purchase the wrong part?
If you know how to buy used car parts online and who to purchase from, it can be much easier, less risky, and ultimately it will cost you a lot less money.
Here are a few tips to help you begin your used car parts search:
Know your VIN number
Your VIN number is your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and it is your car's unique serial number or code. It can be found in multiple locations in your car and is used by the automotive industry to identify individual vehicles.
Get the Colour Right
There is a huge variation of car paint colours, so, ensuring you have the right colour is an important step in buying used car parts. To avoid blowing your budget having to pay for a paint job be sure that the car part matches the colour of your car.
Buy on ebay
The quickest way to compare prices of quality used parts from a variety of sellers is to jump online and look at parts available on ebay. Buying parts on ebay also means you are not limited to just local sellers. At Central Motor Wreckers we sell parts on ebay and ship all over Australia.

Warranty
When you are looking for used car parts be sure to ask your retailer about the warranty they are offering on the part. Industry standard is a minimum of 30-day warranties on all their parts. However, many Auto Recyclers will offer up to 12 months on some auto parts which speaks volumes of the quality of the seller. At Central Motor Wreckers, all Panel and collision parts are warrantied for a period of 12 months from the purchase date. This warranty is a testament to the quality of the part that we are selling and the condition it is in.
