Do you to replace a car door or parts of a car door? Where do you find the right parts to do so? Consider shopping at All American Auto Salvage in Rahway, New Jersey, where you’ll save money because you’re getting quality used parts at a fraction of the cost of brand new ones.
Car Facts
When shopping for car doors or car door parts, it helps to know the make and model of your vehicle, and the specific color, too. Look on the inside of your car door or under its dashboard for some information that typically includes a number/numerals/letters which identifies the vehicle if you can’t find associated paperwork. This information can be handy when it comes to looking for replacement parts that match what you need.
Check Warranties
First, check to see if your car is still under warranty or if damage to the door would be covered by your insurance. Most likely, you’ll be in a situation where the warranty expired and insurance doesn’t cover what you wish it did!
Visit a Salvage Yards for Great Deals
Next, consider a visit to a salvage yard like All American Auto Salvage. There you can look for “OEM” parts– OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Who knows– maybe someone in the past brought in their old car that is the same as yours, and door parts from it would work just fine with your vehicle. OEM parts make for ideal replacements since they’re from the original manufacturer. That said, if OEM parts aren’t available, there are other options that can prove to be just as good– they’re referred to as “aftermarket” parts.
If you plan to purchase a whole door, make sure it’s compatible with what you had– such as including automatic locks or proximity alarms. Try and find parts that match the exact color and condition you want. If you’re looking for upholstery, you might find an exact match, or, if you’re not picky, upholstery that’s “close enough” in looks.
Get Creative
Finally, if you have a car that has unusual doors such as canopy, coach, gullwing, scissor or sliding doors, then you might have a harder time finding replacements. However, salvage yards often stock quite a bit of different types of doors and door parts from various makes and models, so there is a chance you’d come across what you need. If not, perhaps they’d refer you elsewhere to someone who specializes in out–of-the-ordinary car doors. Do you have any questions? Call All American Auto Salvage at 732-574-1945.
