Auto parts may be purchased directly from a manufacturer or from a dealer in auto parts. Both methods will involve the sale of new or reconditioned parts that are able to replace old or non-functioning parts in an automobile. However, sometimes these parts are relatively expensive. If you purchase parts from a manufacturer, the extra cost of shipping, if the manufacturer is not within the same location may not be to your benefit. Also, when parts are bought from a parts merchant the prices may attract additional mark ups from the reseller. Because of this some individuals opt to use a salvage yard to get used parts. This is especially true when the part that is required may be too expensive to buy new. Many salvage yards are dedicated to maintaining a customer friendly environment by implementing showrooms and computerized inventory systems.
In a salvage yard the parts form a car may be removed well before there is an actual demand. Trained mechanics will generally assess the vehicles that are brought in to see what useful parts are available. Typically the first parts that will be retrieved include the bumper, side mirrors, rear-view mirrors and headlights. Once these are taken out, the larger more vital parts are assessed and removed if they are still functioning. These parts will then be put in a display area where customers can view the parts and buy them at a moment's notice. In some instances there may be a “you buy it, you pull it” policy in which the customers will have to take along their own personal mechanics to take out the parts. However many salvage yards in present times will be more accommodating and will, as mentioned before, have already removed the working parts and put them in attractive showrooms.
Louisiana has many salvage yards that are in operation. These can be found in a local directory or online where many salvage yards are advertised.
