What to Know About Finding and Shipping Auto Parts

Roberta Willson • June 16, 2021
Salvage yards are known for what they have to offer to the surrounding area and while that is incredibly important, it is also only “part” of what we do. Willson Salvage yard is proud to serve the greater Pepperell, MA area but our reach goes far beyond our physical address. We have 
our RH Willson trucks out everyday to local garages and businesses to deliver parts and pick up vehicles. 

We consistently have over 2,000 vehicles in stock giving you access to thousands of auto parts that are available every day. Find the part you are looking for at https://www.car-part.com or message us directly at https://bit.ly/2RDmzj0. If you live in the area, you are welcome to contact us or come down to the salvage yard but if you are not local to the area, we are more than happy to serve you as well.

Our national shipping options can help you find what you are looking for, no matter where you live. We have discounts with shipping carriers that you can take advantage of and our one of a kind, 90-day warranty still applies to parts being shipped.

So the question is, what can we ship to you? A few examples are engines, transmissions, and most mechanical parts. We do not ship fragile items because there is a low percentage of these parts that arrive at their destination in one piece. If you need help finding a specific part or are just curious if we can ship something to you, please contact us today: http://bit.ly/willson-contact-us.

Once you have decided to bring your vehicle to a salvage yard, now what? How do you prepare yourself before you arrive and what happens when you get to the salvage yard? Let’s go through the steps to get you the cash you want from your used vehicle! Step One: Make sure you have the title to your vehicle.

Did you get a letter in the mail from the manufacturer, car dealership or even check online to find out that your vehicle has a recall? What should you do, how urgent is the recall, what steps do you need to take to ensure your vehicle is at its’ optimal preference level? First, let’s put it into perspective. While a recall is not something you should ignore; there are over 400 recalls a year that affect more than 25 million vehicles in the U.S. alone. In addition, the average vehicle will have 4 recalls in its lifespan and recalls never expire. Now that we have some perspective. What is the first thing you need to do once you become aware of your vehicle’s recall status? If you purchase your vehicle new or used from a dealership, contact them directly and they will advise you. If you purchased your vehicle through a private seller, contact the vehicle manufacturer and they are required by law to either repair the issue, replace the recalled item or refund the purchase price of the vehicle, minus depreciation.
