Benefits of Recycled Car Parts
In addition to having your own car parts recycled, it’s also worthwhile to purchase previously used parts when maintaining your vehicle. This is another important service we provide to our customers at Logel’s. There are many benefits of buying refurbished auto parts, including the protection of our environment and your wallet.
Recycled Car Parts Help Our Environment
There’s a long list of environmental benefits associated with purchasing previously used car parts. You can rest assured knowing that by using recycled parts, you have lessened the likelihood of toxic chemicals leaking into the earth’s soil and groundwater. Not all scrap yards take such an interest in protecting the environment, and as a result, cars sit in large piles still filled with their automotive fluids.
Recycling car parts is all together less wasteful. Not only are you helping to more effectively reuse valuable materials, you’re freeing up space that would otherwise be taken by piles and piles of lifeless cars.
A great example: According to the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) website, 80 million barrels of oil that would otherwise be required to produce new replacement parts are spared annually thanks to those who purchase recycled parts.
Recycled Car Parts Help Your Wallet
If protecting the environment isn’t enough incentive for you, how does saving some cash sound? In general, used car parts are half the price of new parts. That’s right: you’re sparing valuable resources AND saving money.
It isn’t just do-it-yourselfers or folks with oil-powered vehicles who purchase recycled car parts either. According to the OARA website, their top customers are average repair shops, which means there’s a good chance a garage near you offers this service. The next time your car is undergoing maintenance, ask your mechanic about this earth-friendly, money-saving method. Or, come on by Logel’s and we’ll find a part that is guaranteed to fit your vehicle’s needs.
Purchasing recycled car parts is a great way to protect our environment and your wallet. Parts that would otherwise sit in wasteful piles are cleaned, tested, tagged and entered into an inventory system before being properly stored away. OARA members such as Logel’s promise that your used car parts will work like new or they’ll be exchanged.
These are just some of the benefits of using recycled car parts. If you’re interested in learning more, be sure to explore the OARA website for more information.
