Do you have questions about the auto salvage process or the various auto repair services we provide? Let the experienced team at South Buffalo Auto Parts help. We have compiled some of the questions that we hear most often to help you learn more.

What is Auto Salvage?

Auto salvage is the practice of taking a used, wrecked, or junk car and stripping it of all usable components and parts. These salvaged parts are then sold, refurbished, or recycled.

When Should I Salvage My Car?

Most people salvage their cars when it's the most financially beneficial. If it would cost more to fix the vehicle than it would to simply sell it to a salvage yard, it might be time to explore that option!

Who Does Auto Salvage Benefit?

Salvaging a vehicle can benefit everyone. It reduces the environmental impact of vehicles across the board and saves people money when they shop for replacement parts. It even has a positive influence on the auto industry and material production!

What Type of Cars Can Be Salvaged?

Any vehicle taken off the road can be salvaged, whether it has been through an accident, experiences mechanical problems, or is getting older.

How Do I Salvage My Car?

If you have decided to sell your car for parts or for scrap, don't hesitate to reach out to our scrap yard. We will help guide you through the next steps!

How Can I Tell If I Need Auto Repair Service?

There are several obvious indicators you need to visit our Buffalo area shop for auto repair service. Some of those include: any dashboard warning lights turning on, oil spots under your vehicle, noisy brakes, screeching, humming, or grinding sounds. Our auto repair specialists will diagnose the issue and get you back out on the road in Buffalo or Orchard Park in no time flat!

When Might I Need a Tow Truck Company?

There are many scenarios in which you might need a tow truck company. If your vehicle breaks down on the road for any reason, such as overheating or a broken transmission, a towing service will ensure that your vehicle gets safely to the repair shop without endangering it further. You might also need a tow truck company if your vehicle won't start, has become stuck in snow or in a ditch, or gets a flat tire. Finally, you might need towing services to transport a junk vehicle to our scrap yard!

Where Does Your Tow Truck Company Operate?

South Buffalo Auto Parts serves the greater Buffalo, NY area, including Orchard Park, Hamburg, Amherst, West Seneca, Cheektowaga, Depew, and the surrounding areas. No matter where your vehicle has broken down, we will be able to come retrieve you.

Why Should I Call Your Tow Truck Company?

Many of the big name tow truck companies make grand statements that they wind up not delivering. You could find yourself waiting for a long time for your tow; depending on your location, the time of day, or the season, that amount of time can be unacceptable! When you trust South Buffalo Auto Parts, you know you'll be getting personal service from a local Buffalo company. We look forward to serving you!
