Junkyard Auto Parts

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

An old car or a new one, they’ll both have problems eventually. When you buy a car,either used or new, you need to take into consideration the fact that you’ll constantly invest money in it.

Why do you have to spend money on new parts, when the same parts can be found in a junkyard auto parts store. Why is it good to buy used parts? It’s cheaper,easier, and can benefit u more, cause you can get parts more on your taste.

Of course using junkyard parts, you don’t have the same quality a new part has,but the prices are so low that you can easily buy more then one part, for the close future when you’ll need one,again.

Junkyard auto-parts stores offer parts of all cars,starting from small headlights to a big variety of engine parts,sometimes even body-kits. You can replace almost everything that fails to work, with a used part, which doesn’t garantee it’s full durability, but it’s at a fair cheap price. Look at it this way, you can replace a part that got cracked in a small accident, with an used part, which won’t fail,and it’s durability won’t end. You’ll get the used part at a price probably less then half of a new part’s price.


Buying used auto parts is almost all the time a good deal. However there are parts which can’t be replaced, not everything is steel and iron, which got cracked and needs a replacement until next. Parts involving engine or it’s functionality, are not that durable,if bought from the junkyard. These kind of parts can also ruin other parts if they don’t work well, so better research twice before you replace what’s broken with a used part.

That’s the risk of using junkyard auto parts, if you don’t know the functionality of a car or haven’t asked anyone, the part you put inside it can ruin others, if it doesn’t work properly.

You get to replace everything on your car so it works good, replace body parts that are shattered, or cracked, replace tires, brakes,mirrors, everything that isn’t right on it.
Nowadays more and more people are interested in tunning the car they own. Why? It looks good, sound good, works good. These parts can also be found on the junkyard auto parts store. If something got broken in your car, you can easily replace it with something better, even if used, can work good, and in a store can cost more then the car you own.


Most junkyard auto parts stores sell parts of cars, which fail to work and are dissambled, or used cars. The most important part of this business is the price. If you get to replace a part with a used one, the latter one will probably fail to work after a while. Even so, the amount of money spent on the used parts, bought more then once, will still be smaller then buying something new.

How To Start An Auto Parts Online Business

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

An auto parts online website is one of the most profitable shopping business on the internet. You find the products, in this case auto parts, at a cheaper price then in stores and you get them sent to your home for free. This is why it’s a good deal, but why to start a business like this? It’s obvious people would get more interest in an online shop which has more benefits than a real-life shop.

It’s not an easy thing, but it can be done. There are a few steps you need to follow, starting from a website up to becoming a member of the top customers of a auto-parts manufacturing company. This business would be very easy for those who already have their own auto-parts shops.


How do you start? You need to register your business with a name, the same as registering a new firm.

How much do you know about auto parts? You can do all with either your knowledge on the auto-parts market, or a friend who is up-to-date on it, or your research for the following days until you put up the project.

The first steps require programming knowledge or a small amount of money invested on a website, plus you have to purchase the website domain and host, then just put all the info on the website. This is the easy part so don’t consider yourself lucky cause it’s not that easy.

The research part is next. Check the markets, ask friends, what are the most common parts needed,the most common parts which fail to work,everything auto related that people are interested in. Every business starts low, so you’ll just have to go for the most common parts, the top rated products and the most needed parts.

Further you need to establish a contract with the manufacturers that supply the parts you want to start with, at a fair price and a decent quality. This is so that you can order as many as you need whenever you want. If your knowledge is low on auto-parts, please do research the internet or the markets on the high quality manufacturers and those who offer their products at good prices.

Once you’ve done the contract, get their top rated products and add them to your website with a slight affix to the price. Don’t let the list of products be short with only these products, also add those that are not in the top sales, people look for them, you don’t have to buy them until they’re ordered. Be sure you split them into categories such as: replacement parts, performance parts, custom parts and models. It’s very important the customer finds what he needs.Why free-shipping? Online business means free-shipping. So if other websites have it, you need it. It attracts a lot of customers these days cause they are excused of playing gas,time, even money.


For it you need to research on the benefits of making a contract with a shipping company. Find the cheaper and faster company, and try to find if it’s cheaper to make a contract or send each package at a time.

Now everything is ready. Go advertise your business via internet,media,posters and your done with your own auto-parts business.

Key2SafeDriving aims to stop teens from using the phone while at the wheel

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Don’t you just cringe when you see someone sending a text message while driving? And if you’ve got children you can probably picture them doing the same and causing an accident… not something you’d like to happen.

Researchers at the University of Utah have designed a system to prevent that, called Key2SafeDriving.

The key is actually a device that connects to a cell phone via Bluetooth or RFID, blocking texting and calling the moment the engine is started. In addition to this, incoming messages are automatically answered with the text “I am driving now. I will call you later when I arrive at the destination safely.”

While the invention is still a prototype, it could be on the market within six months at a cost of less than $50 per key plus an unknown monthly service fee, according to the university.

If everything goes as planned and car manufacturers adopt the device, it could also serve to lower car insurance.

Another one for the control-freak parents: the Ford MyKey

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

If you want to know what your children are doing at all times (and destroy any self-reliance they might have), Ford has something especially for you. This new technology is called MyKey and will be available at first only for the 2010 Focus Coupe, then for the whole range of Ford cars.

Ford MyKey

What does it do exactly? It allows parents to control the car’s speed (80 mph max), the stereo’s volume (not higher than 44%) and to set the car to make an annoying beeping if the seatbelts aren’t fastened.

Would teens stand for it? When asked, most of them (67% to be exact) said they hated the idea. However, the numbers change if the system would allow them to use the family car more often: only 36% protested in this case.

Doesn’t seem like such a bad idea if you put it like this. In the end, it’s up to the parents to decide on the appropriate way to deal with their kids, and sometimes extra precautions are necessary. Annoyed at mum is better than wounded or dead in an accident.

Monitoring device allows good drivers to get insurance discounts

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Monitoring device allows good drivers to get insurance discountsIf you’re a careful driver, you might be able to lower your insurance fees – so says auto insurer Progressive Corp.

The company offers drivers the possibility of installing a monitoring device that tells Progressive what time people drive, how many miles they’ve driven, how fast they accelerate and how often they hit the brakes.

According to the results, drivers can save money – but also spend more. The discount for signing up is 10%, but at policy renewal, depending on the driving habits, customers can get discounts of up to 60%. The downside? If you’re a bad driver, you can pay up to 9% more.

This program was launched in June in Alabama, then spread to Minnesota, Oregon and Michigan, and will be made available in New Jersey in August, with more states scheduled for the future.

Smartlets: the future way of charging your EV?

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

One of the biggest questions concerning plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles is “Where will we charge them?”. A personal charger is one solution, but it limits range and requires the driver to have a garage or a driveway.

smartlet.jpg

A California company called Coulomb Technologies says Smartlets is the future solution for this problem. According to Automotive News, Coulomb CEO Richard Lowenthal thinks that Smarlets could be placed in areas where people usually park their cars, making it more convenient to charge them while they go about their business.

Details about the technology are not yet known, but they will probably be announced at the Plug-In Car Show in San Jose, California, in July.

Stay connected with Wi-Fi internet in your car

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Stay connected with Wi-Fi internet in your carWireless internet in the car is a great idea. You can do something useful on a long drive or at least be entertained. Of course, unless you’re the driver, in which case you should be watching the road, not your laptop.

Autonet Mobile is a wireless ISP which basically turns the car into a hotspot for the passengers, who can connect their various devices (like media players, gaming consoles, cell phones) to the broadband network. Perfect for internet addicts.

You’ll going to have a car dealer install this, however, and either way, you have to wait until later this spring. For more info, visit the Autonet Mobile website. via.

VisualEyes Rayzer: no more dumb lights on your car

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

I do have problems with my electrical system from time to time. The main problem: I lose one of the head lights. So, since I am quite lazy, I don’t go to any mechanic shop until I really really need that fixed (or the police stops me).

VisualEyes Rayzer: no more dumb lights on your car

This is probably the reason I understand this gadget: VisualEyes Rayzer. They say it triples the visibility while driving at night. I always needed something I can attach to my car (well, not really attach, I didn’t want to transform my Audi A4 in a crossover) and see the road more clearly. See more pictures after the jump. (more…)
