Answer 3

It depends you have to have a general understanding of what its going to cost you, but call the junk yards and ask for their price, then call an autoparts store and compare.  Most of the time junk yards are a good deal and their parts sometime have warrenties, but some things are better left to autoparts stores

Answer 4

sure just some parts are better off being bought new such as belts, hoses, tuneup parts ect..

Answer 5

YES!! Junk yards are a great place to buy parts!! When you go to a junk yard and buy parts you are getting original oem parts!! This means that you are buying exact replacement parts, just like what came on your vehicle.

When you go to the auto part stores a lot of them sell you whats called after market parts. These are parts that are manufactured by a company other them the manufacture.

Plus you are helping the environment by recycling. So your are not only getting high quality parts at a discount but you are doing your part in saving valuble resources!!
