Hi, my name is Matt. As an apprentice, I don’t have a lot of spare cash so I’m trying to save money by renovating my dad’s clapped out old car. While I got the car for free, I do need to spend some money on parts to get it running again, but saving up for the parts I need does take a bit of time. A friend of my dad’s, who’s a mechanic, suggested that I use local auto wrecking companies to source some parts more cheaply. While I was a little worried about buying from wrecking companies, my dad’s friend gave me some tips on safety, warranties, guarantees and returns. I started this blog to share some of these tips with other people who might be looking to buy spare parts more cost effectively.
