The Benefits of Car Recycling: My Journey with TearAPart.com

Who knew that saying goodbye to my old, battered hatchback would turn into an episode filled with chuckles and eco-enlightenment? My journey with TearAPart.com to recycle my car was more like a sitcom plot than a mundane task.

Let’s start with my car – a faithful companion that had seen better days. It was more rust than metal, with a personality that said, “I may not get you there fast, but I’ll get you there… maybe.” I knew it was time to let it go, but I wanted its final act to be more meaningful than just rotting away in a junkyard.

That’s when I stumbled upon TearAPart.com. Their promise to recycle cars in an eco-friendly way sounded great, but could they handle my quirky companion?

The process started with me filling out an online form – simple enough, but I half expected them to send back a message saying, “Are you sure this thing can even be called a car?” Instead, they gave me a quote that was surprisingly reasonable, not the “we’ll pay you to take it off your hands” offer I was expecting.

As I learned more about car recycling, I realized it was like an organ donation for cars. Parts that could live on would find new homes, and what couldn’t be reused would be responsibly recycled. Suddenly, my old car seemed nobler than I thought.

The pickup day was a mini-adventure. The tow truck driver eyed my car like it was a museum piece, remarking, “They sure don’t make them like this anymore, thankfully.” We shared a laugh as the car was towed away, ready for its next chapter.

Recycling my car with TearAPart.com wasn’t just a task; it was an experience – one that taught me the value of letting go (and the importance of regular car maintenance). It was reassuring to know that my car’s legacy would be one of sustainability, not landfill fodder. And hey, I even got a bit of cash to spend on something that doesn’t require a tetanus shot to drive.

So, got an old car that’s more “vintage” than “vroom”? Head over to TearAPart.com. They’ll turn your car into an eco-friendly hero, and who knows, you might even have a laugh or two along the way!

What are the advantages of using an OBD2 scanner?

What are the advantages of using an OBD2 scanner?

 

Today’s cars are full of technology. When a sensor detects a problem with this technology, your car’s computer pops a code, and the check engine light usually comes on.

This light means there’s a problem somewhere in the system. But, without reading the codes from the onboard computer, you won’t have any way of knowing where the problems are. You could need a new evaporative canister vent valve, your car could be misfiring, or your car could have one of the hundreds of other issues.

With so many possibilities, you need diagnostics to pinpoint the problem. You could take your car to the mechanic for a diagnostic, but that gets expensive.

Code scanners to the rescue!

How to Know If You’re Pulling the Right Part

We know, your car has lots of parts.

And many of them look alike. Or some assemblies have multiple pieces and you only need to fix a single piece.

It’s easy to get mixed up – especially if you’re new to pulling parts. Or when you’re in a salvage yard working on a car that isn’t yours.

The last thing you want to do is get home and realize that the part you pulled won’t fit. Or that you pulled the wrong one.

The good news is that if you pulled the part from Tear-A-Part, you can take advantage of our 30-day exchange policy – easily returning the unwanted piece. But you’d still have to make another trip, blowing another part of your day.

And you’ll have to spend more time in the lot pulling the right part when what you really want to be doing is just fixing your car. It can be a time waster for sure.

To avoid this situation, follow these four tips to ensure you pull just the part you need – every time.

5 Car Repairs You Can Easily Do Yourself

Car repairs can be expensive – especially if you’re hiring a mechanic to do the work for you.

Besides shelling out money for parts, you’ll also be paying a premium for labor. Each hour that the official books say the repair should take will be added to your invoice. And that adds up quickly!

But, there are several car repairs you don’t need a mechanic to do. These repairs are straightforward and don’t require a ton of specialized tools.

So roll up your sleeves and prepare to get your hands a little dirty with these five basic car repairs. Your wallet will thank you!

1. Change Your Air Filter

An air filter ensures that debris and dirt don’t make their way into your car’s engine. It’s important to change it out regularly.

How? Pop your hood and look for the large plastic housing unit. It’s often along one of the sides. Once you’ve found it, you’ll want to examine it to see how it’s connected.

7 Ways to Stay Safe in the Salvage Yard

Buying auto parts at a salvage yard is a great way to save money and help reduce pollution.

But buying used auto parts isn’t as simple as walking into an air-conditioned store and pulling what you need off an organized shelf. I.e. At the salvage yard, you’ll be using your tools to remove your new (to you) parts from a car out on the yard.

You’ll be getting your hands dirty. You’ll be exposed to the elements.

That means you’ll also need to be careful, and follow all of the safety rules. To help you accomplish that, here are seven ways to stay safe the next time you’re pulling your own parts.

1. Choose Your Clothes Carefully

You might not win any fashion awards with your part-pulling attire, but choosing the correct clothes and shoes will help keep you safe.
