There are many auto parts stores located throughout the twin cities some have a policy of pulling the parts and setting them on shelves to be picked later when they are requested. Some of these lots offer you the opportunity to save money and pick the parts yourself.

If you are pretty mechanical and have the tools you need you can pull your own parts and save money. Not everyone can pull a used transmission or engine and take it home to install to complete their repair. However if you are the type that likes to take on an auto repair project full force you have that option.

This labor savings is passed right on to the customer. The other advantage is in having hands on experience and knowing you are getting the exact part you need. Having access to the vehicle the part is coming off of means you can see up close the make and model of vehicle and trust when you get your parts home they will be the correct ones.

Consider a Used Transmission for Your Next Repair

Used Transmissions can offer you a cost effective way to keep your car or truck on the road.

Used Auto Parts, Used Transmissions, Used Auto Parts Saint Paul, Used Auto Parts Minneapolis, Used EnginesYour vehicles transmission is one of it's most integral and structurally complicated components. It contains hundreds of sophisticated hydraulics and computer controlled electronic parts working together to change gears within the engine, transferring the engines power to the wheels with the purpose of moving your vehicle. 

All vehicles utilize a transmission of some type be it an automatic or manual transmission. Some transmissions are known to have a longer life than others. For whatever reason some transmissions are known to fail at  lower mileage point.

Some issues that may give an indication to the state your transmission is in can also tell you you have an issue and may need to consider replacing or repairing this integral drive train part.

Let's look at a few common indicators.

Transmission Fluid Leaks Transmission fluid is typically reddish in color. If you are noticing fluid on your driveway this is easy tell the difference between transmission fluid and motor oil. Motor oils is typically brown or darker in color. Since a transmissions do not consume or burn fluid if your vehicle is in constant need of being "topped off this may be an indication of a problem.

Warning Lights  Some vehicles are equipped with sensors that can indicate an issue you may not be familiar with. These irregularities signal your vehicles computer long before the issue becomes apparent to you. 

Strange Smells  If you check your transmissions dip stick and the fluid looks or smells kind of burnt you are definitely heading for an issue. This indicates something inside the transmission is failing and you should probably get this checked out by a professional. No one can say for sure when a part will fail some of these are indications something is going south fast.

If you sense your transmission is having an issue you should bring it to a certified  repair shop to have it diagnosed and repaired.

Purchase Quality Used Auto Parts and Tackle those jobs you've been avoiding!!



Maybe it’s just something minor and cosmetic on your Toyota Camry or worse you have been dumbing quarts of oil in your Lexus all winter long. Now is the time to consider pulling some used auto parts and getting on top of these projects before things can get much worse.

Replacing body parts like doors, bumpers hoods and trimparts are not likely going to threaten the overall operation of your vehicle.  These types of repairs are typically elective. No one wants to be riding down the street with a huge dent in a door it makes it difficult to exit and enter the vehicle but for the most part the car or truck will still start and operate fully. 



When it comes to mechanical issues however that is a whole other story. If you have owned a vehicle for a long time you can probably tell if a noise or a symptom your vehicle is having is going to cause a side of the highway breakdown. Some clunks and noises are pretty typical in older vehicles. In some cases like we mentioned above if you are constantly pouring oil in your vehicle there is a pretty major issue going on and it should be addressed asap. Causes of large amounts of oil consumption may be a simple as a loose oil filter this would allow oil to slowly drain out the gap between the filter and the engine block. Checking this for tightness is as simple as trying to give the filter a twist by hand. Oil filter wrenches are cheap and easy to use. If you change your own oil they are a must to keep on hand.

Of course if you are like me the simple answer is rarely the issue. There can also be leaky seals and gaskets within the engine itself. If you get a big puff of blue smoke upon starting your vehicle this may be valve guide seals cracked, allowing oil to leak into the cylinders while parked. Although this may not be a great use of used parts if there is damage to the engine or if you are in need of internal engine parts this may be a good time to call your local used auto parts lot and ask their advice.
Some of the more popular used auto parts that are purchased are pretty easy to dismount and install. These are the parts a few tools and a place to work on your repair is all you need. Heck I have seen guys replace transmissions in the middle of the street before, starters too.

Mirrors – Tend to get damaged because they stick out from the side of the vehicle a bit. They are exposed and thus are vulnerable to snow plows in cold weather states. Perhaps there are pedestrians that are not paying attention. Items may fall off other vehicles on the freeway or parking lots where someone parks too close. Any one of these reasons may call for a replacement of your side view mirrors.

Used Bumpers and Body Parts
Bumbers - Simply purchasing a used part cuts down on excessive labor costs, repair materials, and the expense of the bumper.

Alloy Wheels – Over time these can become pitted and the result is a loss of tire pressure. You can disassemble them and use a grinder to regain the surface or you can usually find a used set at a reasonable price and replace the bad ones.



These are just a couple easy to tackle repair jobs and parts you can find at a local auto parts lot like Atlas U Pull. Used Auto Parts save money on the little repairs you like to do yourself.
