1) write a list of all parts needed for all cars in family 2) use Rockauto to cross reference parts on other models 3) write down row location of all cars and color (sorento 20b white) 4) get spare bulbs/fuses/bolts/trim clips for all family cars and put in tupperware for each car 5) grab custom mats, trunk liners, mud guards 6) check for extra tire - you never find one when you need it 7) start with wrecked car if you need engine or transmission 8) if brakes are new, grab pads/rotors/caliper 9) rub hands in vaseline and get in knuckles/under nails before going (blocks grease for easy cleanup) 10) charge phone (for searching and flashlight) 11) give yourself lots of extra time 12) bring water 13) explain to your wife that it is just something you need to do

I live on the space coast, Florida. lately I have notice that the yards have gone to a computer pricing. Most of the time they are quoting prices that are darn near what the parts stores are charging. I been walking away from the yards more and more and buying new parts from, ( my favorite is Auto Zone), parts store. Even little things like a tire iron. One yard in cocoa wanted to charge me $35 for the entire jack assembly. I said "its just the tire iron i found in the dirt". The guy looked at his computer and said "$35". I took it back, dropped it in the dirt where I found it and walk out of the yard. Haven't been back since. I have found most of the yards are like this now. SUCK'S.

@bleepinjeep 7 жыл бұрын

The PAP lists the prices on their website so you don't have to guess.

@NotSoCrazyNinja 4 жыл бұрын

I have a yard around here that asks way too much for parts. They don't use computers or lists, they just pull a price out of their butt and it's almost always just a shy cheaper than new. I don't go to them, of course. If I have to go out and pull the part myself, and it's a used part of unknown quality, that price better be worth it or I'll just buy new.

The mod videos are great, but I really appreciate the more basic videos as I'm a total newb when it comes to auto repair and maintenance. I have a 1996 XJ that I have had for eight years without having to repair much. (I have replaced the harmonic balancer and the starter.) But it needs some TLC, and your channel will be great information and inspiration as I start working on it. (It needs a paint job, and I may copy your Hope Floats colors.)

Also always take a breaker bar and pry bar. most bolts and parts are rusty from sitting in the yard for a while. also avoid taking out many tools at once, the floor is full of bolts and parts and tires and it's very easy to loose tools.

MY local yard is so subclass compared to P-a-P. Its really muddy after a light rain and so many selfish tools tearing up the stock to get what they need and every vehicle interior is trashed out. I also have to avoid the days the wind blows from the northeast because its right across the highway from a feed lot. The smell gets horrible!

If I was gonna add anything to that it would be to do homework on your particular vehicle because some are Interchangeable with other years or makes or models. helps out huge. Also we have a number of wreckers in our area all fighting for customers so bartering at the desk helps huge. I can't believe how many times I've walked away with parts and almost didn't even pay for em. Calling in advance can save you time too. Bring tools that do a lot of other jobs as well. vise grips and things of that nature. and bring a friend. having a friend with you can save you time, energy, and part watch while you grab tools or what have you. :) and wear steel toes cause the u know yards here are hazardous. lol great video Matt

Tip #1-a: Be wary that they may sometimes check toolboxes if they are large enough I had a handful of nuts/bolts and sparkplugs in my box beforehand and was unable to get through without paying for them

My tips: #1. Power steering fluid works great as seal breaker. #2. I watch my tools like a hawk. I will pile stuff on top of my tools so if someone is "examining" my cart, I will hear him. #3. Unless it is a motor or transmission, NEVER BUY WARRANTY. In all the years I have been going, I got one bad module. That's it. I'm so far ahead on savings that a bad part won't wreck my budget. #4. Never buy a deflated tire, a tire with dry cracking, or a tire with too old date code. #5. Know you parts prices on ebay. I buy parts that are valuable and easy to flip on ebay. Some steering wheels are money makers. Modules less so because ebay allows returns and the thieves will swap their bad module for your good module. Best to have your cell phone so you can look up parts values. #6, Buy all superchargers and sell them as cores on ebay.
