Shopping at a junkyard that has used car parts for sale in
Austin, Texas is a great way to save money on car components. However,
before you enter a junkyard, there are some things you should know that will
help make your experience safe and successful. When you buy used car parts in
Austin from a junkyard, be sure to take the following measures: bring your own
tools, dress appropriately, and behave in a way that keeps everyone safe.
Bring Your Own Tools
Wrench-A-Part will supply an engine pulling A-frame to help you remove an
engine. We also supply wagons and wheelbarrows to help you transport parts.
However, we don’t supply everyday tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers. Be
sure to bring along your toolbox or tool belt when you visit our location in
Austin or Belton. Otherwise, you may be unable to remove the parts you
need.
Dress Appropriately
Most sellers of used car parts in Austin require
you dress in a way that keeps you safe as remove and transports components.
While rules vary from junkyard to junkyard, wearing close toe shoes is almost
always a must, and some yards require you to wear long pants as well. In terms
of dress, the best practice is to wear steel toed shoes, heavy work gloves, and
thick clothing like a mechanic would wear, as these measures offer the most
protection against abrasions and foot injuries.
Act Safely
Safe behavior means sensible behavior. Don’t smoke while you are in the yard,
use a cutting torch to remove parts, bring alcohol into the yard, or do anything
else that could cause a fire, explosion, or predispose you to injury. Most
sellers have a list of dos and don’ts prominently displayed at the entrance to
the yard. Be sure to read the list before you enter.
