When you visit Stewart’s Used Auto Parts, do you ever stop to wonder how those used parts arrive in a condition in which they can assist in your vehicle repair needs? The team at Barkhamsted, CT’s most reliable source for auto parts has been serving the needs of area drivers since 1982, and they’re known for their superior-quality products, exceptional customer service, and in-depth knowledge of auto parts recycling.

Here’s a closer look at how junk cars are turned into usable parts:

• Acquiring The Parts: The first step, of course, is to acquire a vehicle. Auto recyclers typically pay cash for junk cars, which are then examined in an effort to find usable parts. Prior to sending unusable parts to be scrapped, the experts at Stewart’s Used Auto Parts assess the damage to the vehicle and its components to determine which parts are in good enough condition to be sold and which can’t be used again. Usable parts are inventoried and made available for purchase.
• Dismantling & Quality Control: After the vehicle has been acquired and its parts have been inventoried, technicians will begin dismantling the car and testing the parts. Typically, the engine and transmission are removed and tested first. Any fluids and oils will be removed in an environmentally safe manner as well.
• Sales: After the vehicle has been dismantled, parts are organized so they will be easy to sell or deliver as needed. Used auto parts are always inspected for any problems prior to being sold—after all, it won’t do much good for your auto repair needs if you are sold a faulty replacement part!
