There are several advantages, including:

  • Cost: They are typically much cheaper than new parts. This can save you a lot of money on car repairs.
  • Availability: Junkyards have a wide variety of parts available, including parts for older and less common vehicles. This can be helpful if you are looking for a part that is difficult to find elsewhere.
  • Environmental benefits: Buying junkyard parts helps to reduce waste and conserve resources. When you buy a junkyard part, you are essentially recycling a part that would otherwise be scrapped.

How can I report an illegal junkyard?

  • The types of vehicles and parts that are stored at the junkyard
  • Any observed violations of local, state, or federal laws
  • Any other relevant information

You may also want to take photos or videos of the junkyard to support your report.

The authorities will investigate your report and take appropriate action. This may include issuing a warning to the junkyard owner, requiring the junkyard to clean up the site, or even shutting down the junkyard.
