Used auto parts, or previously owned auto parts, are removed from donor vehicles by professional automotive technicians, and prepared for ready sale to the collision repair industry and the general public.

These donor vehicles can be older vehicles, but they are more likely late model total loss vehicles acquired from the insurance industry. The important thing for any buyer to remember is that no matter what the overall condition of the donor vehicle, there are always many good usable components left on it.

Cocoa Auto Salvage cleans, tests, and enters these parts in to a computerized inventory system; all based on the standardized Hollander interchange stock number.

Our customer service representatives can immediately help you with our inventory of parts, or within minutes via email.

Cocoa Auto Salvage uses standard damage codes, damage descriptions, part inclusions, etc (http://www.a-r-a.org/standards/index.html) from the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) and the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC).

What do you get when you purchase a Used Auto Part from Us?

Quality

• Used Auto Parts are made by the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) to fit they came from the same year, make and model that you are repairing.
• You get OEM parts, without paying the OEM prices.

Price

• Used Auto Parts are priced according to supply and demand, but generally you can expect to save on average at least 50% from the cost of a similar new part.
• Used Auto Parts are often sold as an assembly, so if you order a door, you get more than the shell you get the glass, trim, switches, handles, etc, providing an even larger savings incentive, not only in price but in time as well.
• More and more insurers are understanding that collision repairers need the right economic incentives to use used parts. They are actively looking at the pre-set margins they are allowing for used parts, and they are seeing the benefit of more used parts usage.
• More Used Auto Parts usage means accident repair severity is reduced resulting in fewer total loss vehicles and that is more business for everyone.
