Some of you wanted to see some other sides of the salvage industry, so here it is! I'm trying some new type of content! As my returning viewers know, I own and run a full service auto salvage business called @importapart located in the Saint Louis area.
We buy wrecked, totaled, and salvage vehicles and sell the parts from them, recycling the rest.
Often times, these cars come in without keys, missing parts or parts damaged that make it a challenge to start and run the engine, or drive the car. The parts we sell we like to test as fully as possible, so we will go through some length to get engines running to prove or disprove their condition. This is one of the things I spend a few hours a week doing. Whether its programming new keys, swapping parts, repairing harnesses, that's part of the job.
I recently bought some property that had this 2007 Chrysler Aspen beached in a car port next to the house. The previous owner bought it at the auction several years ago, cut the cats off, scrapped those and the wheels, battery and left it on some bricks in this carport. I dragged this thing back to the shop. This isn't a vehicle I would normally bid on at the auction but I want to make the most of it and I would hate to throw away a good 5.7 Hemi.
This video shows our normal process for cars that come in needing some work before they'll start.
If you'd like to see our inventory you can go to www.Importapartsales.com or email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
I really hope you enjoyed this video, as always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you all on the next one.
