What tools should I bring to an automotive junkyard?

Posted on June 16th, 2010 by admin

I am going to an automotive junkyard tomorrow. It is a pull it apart junkyard pretty much. I am looking for some OEM switches and a OEM spoiler for my car. What kind of tools should I bring along. I already have it all, but I have never been to a junkyard to know what goes on there.
Also, how much time would I need in a junkyard? Like should I get there early to look for parts?

Bring a tire iron and if you could get it through the door aa golf club and have fun busting out windows.

Stupid questions get stupider answers.

What tools should I bring to an automotive junkyard?

Posted on June 8th, 2010 by admin

I am going to an automotive junkyard tomorrow. Never been to one. What should I know before going to one? It is a pull it apart junkyard pretty much. I am looking for some OEM switches and a OEM spoiler for my car. What kind of tools should I bring along. I already have it all, but I have never been to a junkyard to know what goes on there. Also, how much time would I need in a junkyard? Like should I get there early to look for parts?

Ideally you want a small box with all your basic tools.At least you want a couple pairs of pliers flathead phillips and a hammer throw a ratchet in your pocket with popular size sockets maybe like an 8 to a 13 with what you’re going for.Really helps if you know what you need to pull a particular part ahead of time.No particular time to go plan on being there an hour or two to locate and remove what You need
