Why choose a Salvaged Car?

Things to look for when deciding to choose a salvaged car.

1)      How long has the company been in business, do they have a good reputation? Will they stand behind their work if there is a problem? If in doubt, ask if you can have the car checked by another mechanic or body shop. If they are reluctant, Beware!

2)      Some shops will claim a car has not been in an accident, that it is a Theft-Recovery car. There is not that many of these cars available, if they make this claim, check it out before you buy the car. If they are willing to deceive you about the cars origin there will likely be other issues.

3)      Look for any indications that the car has been in a flood. Flood cars frequently have troubles down the line in their electronics, wiring and other areas.

4)      Color match; inspect the car to be sure that the paint of the damaged area has been properly matched.

5)      Panel alignment; be sure the new parts are properly aligned.

6)      The airbag light should function. As you turn the key, the airbag and instrument lights should momentarily come on then shut off. This test ensures that all of the electronics are properly functioning and have not been bypassed.

7)      Ask for a printout from a reliable alignment shop.
