Many drivers believe that car dealerships are a uniquely bad place to buy parts. However, one cannot fail to note their advantages: a good assortment, reasonable prices, the possibility of clarifying the applicability of a part. Although the latter often raises questions. According to Avtopro experts, the right approach to the selection of used spare parts significantly reduces the likelihood of buying a "pig in a poke". Future visitors to showdowns should figure out in advance how they make purchases here.

What is interesting auto disassembly

Automotive disassembly is of particular interest to two categories of buyers. First: owners of very outdated vehicles, auto classics. Second: drivers who would like to significantly reduce the cost of repairing their car. Used spare parts can save up to half the cost of new parts. At the same time, dismantling shops offer mostly used originals, so the quality (but not the condition) of the goods does not raise questions. You can highlight the following advantages of disassembly:

Simplicity and speed of purchases. Sometimes the purchase is carried out faster than in the store. And definitely faster than ordering online. This is especially important for those who need parts for repairs in a short time;

Range. It includes spare parts for almost all vehicle components, all kinds of decorative elements and even fasteners - everything that can be removed from the vehicle;

Ability to work with the disassembly manager. This is not available in online stores. You can consult with a person, clarify the applicability of the details. Sometimes information about the mileage of the car being disassembled is disclosed.

Note that in the vast majority of large cities there are at least a few dozen showdowns. This means that both the owner of a popular car model and an obsolete one can find spare parts for repairs. Savings on purchases will be serious. If the dismantler gives a guarantee for parts, then the risks for buyers will be less.

Automotive disassembly is good for the following:

Range. Sometimes it strikes the imagination. If several cars of the same brand with similar bases are disassembled at once, then disassembly will also be able to offer the buyer spare parts with versatile applicability;

Prices. Savings on used spare parts serious. If we are talking about the details of the motor group and transmission, then the savings can be up to 50-60% of the cost of new parts or assemblies;

Availability. There are showdowns both in large and relatively small cities - used. spare parts are available to almost all motorists.

The obvious fact remains that the owners of car classics dismantling are perhaps the best place to buy spare parts. The reason may lie in the fact that the driver wants to get the original used. spare parts when the market is flooded with low-quality counterparts. But if the car was produced a very long time ago, the supply of spare parts for its repair may already be curtailed - there are few alternatives to dismantling.

Used disadvantages details

No matter how good the used one looks. part, in fact it was already in operation. In some cases, this is critical. For example, not new filters, at best, will cover several thousand kilometers. Is it worth buying them? Not! Even with savings. The same can be said about such showdown offers:

Drive components, belts, tensioners;

Rubber seals;

Spark plug;

Radiators of all types, branch pipes, thermostats;

Wiper blades and leashes;

Brake pads;

rubber-metal products;

clutch components.

Body parts, interior components, engines, beams, mirrors, glass, gearboxes - these are a few options for parts from showdowns that are really worth considering for purchase. However, in the case of complex units, verification by specialists is also required. It is worth treating used with great caution. brake cylinders, heated seats, racks, sensors.
