Recycle Those Old Car Parts For Cash!

Did you recently buy a new or used fender, control arm, strut, wheel or battery from any of the auto salvage dealers listed at Greensboro Junkyards? How about a quarter panel, shock absorber, starter, alternator, transmission or engine? Did you know that used and broken auto parts made of metals, steel, iron, copper, brass, bronze and aluminum all have value even if they no longer work? It doesn't matter what the part is, it only matters that it's made of metal. Even old wiring harness can be sold to Salvage America, 3001 Holts Chapel Road, Greensboro, NC. 27401. Just click on the address to learn more about how your old parts can reduce the costs of the new or used parts you just had to buy.

Toyota Brake Light Repair

Are your brake lights staying on all the time causing your battery to go dead? This seems to be a pretty common problem on Paseos, Tercels and other 90s Toyota's as it is often caused by the breaking apart of a little round rubber/plastic pad that pops into a hole on the brake pedal arm and rests against the brake light switch until you put your foot on the brake.

An easy repair for this can be done in minutes by slipping a round 3/4" diameter x 3/16" thick magnet into the spot where the plastic piece formerly resided. Anything even close to those dimensions should do the trick and you won't even need any tools. The hardest part is getting under the dash.

Magnets are usually available at hardware stores and other places where tools are sold.

Not As Bad As I Thought

The other day I mentioned that I thought the transmission had locked-up in my car. Turns out the problem is a brake problem. The good news is that brakes will be cheaper to fix than the transmission. The bad news-- I still have to do the work myself.

Oh well, at least I've got Greensboro Junkyards to help me find any part I may need.

PS. Rumor has it that a new motorcycle junkyard might be coming to Greensboro soon.
