Six things worth knowing before you order

Grades matter. An A grade panel has under one inch of damage per foot, a B grade has more, and a C grade is a core you are buying for one bracket off it.
Interchange numbers are how a part off a different model year ends up being the exact part you need, and they are why we ask for a VIN rather than a model name.
Anyone selling used automotive parts in Texas has to hold a used automotive parts recycler licence from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Ask any yard for theirs.
A used lamp assembly with clear lenses beats a new budget one on a car that is ten years old, because the lens material and the mounting tabs are factory.
Airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are the one category we will not sell used, whatever the price on the online listing says.
Donor mileage goes on the tag. If a recycler will not tell you the mileage of the car a transmission came out of, that is the answer to your question.
Colour matching a recycled panel to a sun-faded car frequently works better than a fresh factory-code respray does, because both have aged.
Electronic modules pulled from a donor vehicle are often married to that vehicle's identification number and need programming before they will function.
A recycled door comes complete with glass, regulator, latch and trim on most orders, and that bundle is where the value against a new bare shell actually sits.
Wheels are the recycled part with the highest hidden failure rate, because a kerb strike that bends a rim is invisible until the wheel is on a balancer.
Engine and transmission assemblies get tagged with the donor mileage because that number is the single biggest factor in what the assembly is worth.
Parts for vehicles that stopped production are the one category where recycled is not the cheap option, it is the only option.

Is it legal to sell used car parts in Texas?

Selling used automotive parts in Texas requires a used automotive parts recycler licence issued under Occupations Code Chapter 2309, which the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation issues for one year at a time and for one facility per licence.

How are used car parts graded?

Recycled parts are graded A, B or C, where an A grade panel carries less than one inch of damage per foot of surface, a B grade carries more, and a C grade is sold as a core.

What is an interchange number?

An interchange number identifies every vehicle that used an identical part, which is how a door from a different model year or a different badge on the same platform turns out to be the correct part.

Before an adjuster tells you otherwise

Texas Insurance Code Section 1952.301 prohibits an insurer from limiting your coverage by specifying the brand, type, kind, age, vendor, supplier or condition of the parts used to repair your vehicle, and Section 1952.302 prohibits an adjuster from telling you that you must use a shop from a preferred list. The statute is public and it is short. Read the whole subchapter here, or read the section numbers back to whoever is on the phone. Working on the same corner of the car?

Used & Salvage Car Parts questions we get asked

Should I buy a used or an aftermarket bumper?

Buy used when you want factory plastic, factory tab geometry and factory sensor mounts on an older vehicle, and buy new aftermarket when you want a straight uncracked panel and do not care that it was not stamped by the car company.

Do used parts come with any guarantee?

Our recycled parts carry a 30 day guarantee against the part being wrong or misgraded, and mechanical assemblies are tagged with the donor vehicle's recorded mileage.

Can I buy a used airbag?

We do not sell used airbags or seatbelt pretensioners at any price, because there is no way to verify a used restraint has never been deployed or improperly stored.
