FAQs on used auto parts stores in Los Altos

Do they offer warranties?

+
−

Some provide limited warranties on certain parts. Inquire about their specific policies.

Can I pull parts from vehicles myself at a junkyard?

+
−

In many cases, yes, you can pull parts from vehicles yourself at a junkyard. This process is commonly known as "self-service" or "you-pull-it" yards.

Before entering, you typically sign in and may pay an entrance fee or for a container to carry parts. It's crucial to follow safety guidelines, use proper techniques, and be aware of environmental regulations. After removing the parts, you bring them to a payment area, where fees are often based on the type of part.

Are they open on weekends?

+
−

Some of them, so check their operating hours.

How can I ensure a part will fit my vehicle?

+
−

Bring your vehicle's make, model, year, and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to verify compatibility.

What is the average price of used car parts?

+
−

Prices can vary widely but typically range from $20 to several hundred dollars, depending on the part's type and condition.

Are there any environmental benefits to using recycled car parts?

+
−

Using recycled car parts offers environmental benefits by conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing landfill waste. The process involves reusing components from salvaged vehicles, extending product life and promoting a circular economy. Recycling lowers the demand for new raw materials, curbing resource-intensive extraction and manufacturing processes, which, in turn, decreases greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of new parts.

How long does it take to pull a part at a self-service junkyard?

+
−

The time it takes to pull a part depends on the complexity of the task and your experience. Simple and easily accessible parts may take just 15-30 minutes, while more complex components or those located in challenging areas of a vehicle could take an hour or more.

Can I return a part if it doesn't fit or work?

+
−

In case of junkyards, some have strict no-return policies, especially for self-service yards where customers pull their own parts. On the other hand, many salvage yards and used auto parts stores may offer more lenient return policies. However, it's essential to inquire about and understand the specific terms and conditions before making a purchase.
