Don’t let the name fool you, junkyards are full of anything but. If you’ve ever restored a classic car, you know what absolute goldmines junkyards in NH can be. At Drew Auto Parts, we’ve pulled thousands of functional parts from junked cars over the years. For professionals and hobbyists restoring classic cars, a junkyard or salvage yard is sometimes the only place to find specific parts. In other cases, used auto parts can save money compared to visiting a traditional auto parts store.

Here are three reasons why junkyards in NH are the best place to source parts for restoring classic cars.

Track Down Hard-to-Find Parts

If you need parts for an old or unusual car, it can be hard to find them. Often, the manufacturers don’t make the parts you need anymore. One alternative is to have the part custom-made, but that can be prohibitively expensive for some. By going to a junkyard, you can find parts that are difficult to find elsewhere.

Save Money Over OEM Parts

For older or uncommon cars, OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts can be expensive. If you can find the same used part at a salvage yard, you can save a lot of money. ROE (recycled original equipment) parts are factory-original and are a better option than aftermarket parts, even when new. Often, traditional auto parts stores don’t stock the parts you’re looking for and will charge you extra just to ship them into the store. You can buy straight from the manufacturer—if they even still make the part—but that is often expensive, too.

Check the Ever-Changing Inventory

But what if you come to a salvage yard and they don’t have what you need, either? Not to worry. Odds are, they will come across what you need in time. If we don’t have what you’re looking for right now, let us know. We’ll keep an eye out and let you know when we come across the part. Junkyards in NH like ours receive cars into their inventory all the time, so there are new parts to pick from every time you come.
