Great video. We are a full-service yard that lists on a lot of these resources you mentioned, however, our website has a much better auto part search feature than some of the other major sites, and we are a high-volume yard, making our parts some of the lowest in the business. Thanks for showing the OEM-used auto part industry some love.

Certifit is another good site. eBay and Craigs work great too. Get vin number/ some sort of recipt from donor cars as long as they are not stolen. Sometimes receipts are only necessary on bigger panels such as bumpers/hoods/doors/ headlights. Save a ton of money by trying to find same color parts!!

I have one question. I have a 2017 Audi S3. Why not just buy the same parts that have the same part numbers from a 2015 Audi A3? Surely that is not as bad...?

[@Aznrob869]

Hey sam i have a question hopefully you can help me answer it. I'm looking on copart and i noticed they have clean title cars for sale. In my state i would have to get in contact with a broker to bid on the clean title cars. What I want to know is if I were to get the clean title from copart using a broker would I be able to register the car as if I bought a clean title car from Craigslist? I'm from Illinois and this would be my first time, just looking to have a project car to work on and keep it.

[@Samcrac]

If it has a clean title, and if that is how it works in your state, then yes, you won't have to go through any special process. In FL, if it is NOT a Florida title you do have to show the odometer at the DMV, and if the car is severely damaged you may raise some eyes; I think there are affidavit forums that you can use if you can't bring the car in, and you are just confirming the odometer usually, but again it all depends on your state.

[@alenkruezi4050]

well the sites you said are great but dont you think when you have more parts that are really expensive to replace seperetly you can get a parts car the same as your and you can increase your profit by selling the parts that you dont need that way you dont just save money but you get more money for next projects

Great channel Samcrac, I recently did my first salvage rebuild (before finding your channel) and used many of the methods you describe. Bought a salvage Subaru BRZ out of Georgia, used car-part.com, myairbags.com, ebay, enthusiast forums, the dealer and local salvage yards to get it back together and titled in Florida. All in I spent $8,500 for a 2013 BRZ with 24k on it. Can't wait to do another. Full blog here: www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120916

[@qwerasdfzxcv5669]

row52.com is a good sight to find pick your part salvage yards with the exact car you are looking for. It can also help you find local salvage yards that you didn't know about.

[@ratbert86]

Yup - row52 has more yards than LKQ and they also have "Pullers" for most yards you can contact to pull parts for you if you are not near the yards.

[@Therunningfix]

Love your videos..my personal experience with LKQ (since this state doesn’t have LKQ pick your part) Each yard manager gives grades for each part parts... The part i was interested in getting was a Grade A window cowl Turned out It was dry rotted ....no big deal As im walking out the door the clerk said “Hey hey we have another one in grade A condition can you hold on while he retrieves it “I said absolutely “ 5 min later guy radios down to the clerks desk ...go ahead and tell him this one is worse than the one that we packaged
