The title of this article, “Jeep Junkyard Online,” would seem to be an oxymoron at first. How is it possible for a physical junkyard to be found on the web?
We will answer that question in this article and give you our opinion on why we believe this type of shopping for used car parts is the future of the industry.
We are All Import Auto Parts, serving the Greater Fort Worth area with affordable used auto parts and reliable used truck parts. Call us today and let’s get you back on the road with reliable used parts.
A physical Jeep junkyard?
In a word, no, it is not possible to have a physical Jeep junkyard and make enough money to stay in business. The numbers don’t lie. Let’s say you have a city of 50,000 people, and just for the sake of discussion, there is a salvage yard in that city which only carries used Jeep parts.
In that city there are one-thousand residents who own a Jeep, and quite frankly that might be too large a number, but let’s go with it. Of those one thousand, only 250 were willing to do DIY car repair.
In other words, your potential clients number 250 people, and that simply is not enough to keep a salvage yard in business, which means there needs to be another option.
The risk of shopping online for used auto parts.
There is, of course, the online option. Do a Google search for used Jeep parts and you will find three-million hits, including a place called Davey’s Jeeps.com, which points out the biggest risk of purchasing used car parts online: reliability! Who the heck is Davey and why would you trust him?
Do not mistake what we are saying. There are some very reputable used auto parts sites online, but how do you know which are reputable and which are some guy named Davey who is parting out his 1975 Jeep Wrangler?
The All Import Auto Parts solution.
We are happy to report that you can “have your cake and eat it to.” Reputable salvage yards like All Import Auto Parts have a “parts search” link on their websites. All you do is type in the make and model, the part you need, and then the part is located somewhere in the U.S. and sent to your city.
But how do you know if the part is reliable? Because the salvage yard in town, in this case All Import Auto Parts, is reliable.
The solution, then, is to find a reliable salvage yard in your town, develop a working relationship with the staff, and from that relationship trust will emerge, so that the next time you need used Jeep parts, you don’t have to email Davey.
