Many scrapyards and car dealers who buy such vehicles will strip out the damaged engine, gearbox or damaged body parts and repair the vehicle and sell the motor vehicle off at a handsome profit. If the problem outweighs the value of the vehicle they simply strip the vehicle and put the spares into stock. Some salvage dealers who have plenty of space do not even dismantle the car, but will simply park it in their yard until a potential customer comes looking for a specific part and then strip off the parts required.

In this day and age most vehicle manufacturers are programmed for the modern era. In other words, the cars manufactured by leading manufacturers are built to last up until the ‘sell by date’, meaning that these cars are destined to break down at a certain mileage, rendering them uneconomical to repair and inevitably land up at the scrap yard.

Cars For Sale

If you are looking for a car to buy, the market is flooded with thousands of different cars for sale in South Africa. There are many websites and magazines for sale in shops, advertising cars for sale of every type you could imagine. Whatever car you dream of can be purchased through a car website with the greatest of ease.

Visit www.looking4cars.co.za which is a free online website with over 5000 cars and bakkies for sale from well known vehicle dealerships and used car dealers nationwide. The cars listed on Looking 4 Cars are all available to anyone who wants to buy a quality used car with a full warranty and service back up plan.  

Try and put down a bigger than required deposit on the car you intend buying, which makes a huge difference to your car finance payments each month. The larger the deposit lay out, the lower your monthly premiums will be through your financial institution.

Finance quotes differ from bank to bank and you probably will get a better interest rate on your vehicle finance if you shop around. The more vehicle finance inquiries you make the luckier you will get and therefore a better car and a better rate.

Once you have secured your finance you can make arrangements to collect your new car. Most cars for sale don’t come with state of the art security. Ensure the vehicle you choose to buy has adequate security and insurance. Remember the car you drive together with a ‘no claim bonus’ will depend on how much you pay for insurance each month. An accident free driving history will mean lower insurance premiums on your installment.  By fitting extra security measures to your new vehicle will also help deter criminals and keep your vehicle where you leave it. 

Regardless of the type of car you have purchased you will at some stage or other experience a mechanical breakdown or MVA (motor vehicle accident) and require the services of a tow truck to tow your vehicle to workshop where you can have it repaired. Most insurers have preferred service providers and will send you a tow truck. However, always keep a towing and recovery number handy such as the AA who are the oldest and better recognized roadside assistance in the world. VISIT www.looking4spares.co.za

If you are covered by motor warranty insurance policy you will need to read the under writing schedule. Most mechanical warranty service providers offer a wide range of products besides mechanical repairs and replacement such as, road side assistance, towing and even hotel accommodation.

Whatever the car you buy, make sure that you are 100% satisfied with all the above mentioned points and don’t sign for anything without reading all the fine print or the underwriting in the policy. Find a quality assured second hand car dealer or original motor vehicle dealership with a good track record.

Suspension Parts | Steering Parts

CLICK HERE complete the Parts Request Form for quality suspension and steering parts in South Africa.

Suspension and steering parts are also divided into three basic categories in the supply chain of the motor spares business. The field is spread out into new, aftermarket and used suspension and steering parts. Suspension and steering components are easy to access because of the limitless competition in the market and also due to the fact that there are new parts, pirate parts and second hand or used parts that can be located at salvage yards throughout South Africa. The problem, as always is, where to find the motor vehicle parts that you are looking for, and when it comes to suspension and steering components, they should always be considered as ‘ life depending components’, because lives depend on them.

No matter what you drive, suspension and steering parts could be life threatening if the parts are of an inferior quality or have been salvaged from an accident damaged vehicle. Always have used steering or suspension parts such as these thoroughly checked and tested before fitting.

If you drive a new car and the car is still under warranty then the vehicle repairer must fit original manufacturers parts or OEM spares. Usually suspension and steering damage is caused by a  road accident. All minor collisions whereby tyre damage has occurred should be checked by a qualified mechanic or suspension and steering technician or at the very least by a wheel and tyre alignment centre.

If your car has insurance don’t take any short cuts here. Get in touch with your insurance company who will send your vehicle to a quality approved panel beater, suspension or steering specialist that specializes in this field of service.

When a vehicle is covered by motor plan, and insurance cover, it gives the owner of the vehicle benefits such as towing, mechanical repairs and hotel perks for the motorist stranded far from his or her destination. Most workshops that facilitate this type of vehicle coverage are compelled to fit new motor parts to your motor vehicle.

It is very unlikely to find original manufacturers suspension and steering parts sold over your local motor spares counter, but you will however be able to purchase replacement aftermarket suspension and steering components for most vehicle types from the local motor spares supplier. These spares are mostly referred to as ‘pirate parts’ or ‘aftermarket parts’.

You can also contact the local automotive and commercial scrap yard dealers. These parts have been stripped off motor vehicles that have been involved in collisions, scrapped and stripped of their salvageable parts.

If you are looking for new, used or aftermarket suspension and steering spares, contact Looking 4 Spares, your free spares locator service that will help you find new and used parts, safely and securely.

Motor Spares

CLICK HERE and complete our PARTS REQUEST FORM which gets sent to over 200 motor spares suppliers in South Africa.

Motor spares in South Africa is divided up into three basic categories in the supply chain, namely; new motor spares, aftermarket spares and used spares. Whatever motor vehicle you drive, you will need to have certain mechanical and aesthetic parts replaced from time to time. Motor spares are easily accessible because of the  enormous amount of competition in the market and contributing to the fact that there are three avenues to pursue when looking for spares and vehicle accessories.

If you drive a new car you probably have a warranty or motor plan in place and if your motor plan has run out it would be advisable to pay for an extended warranty for a vehicle that is more than four or five years old. When a vehicle is covered by motor plan, this gives the owner of the vehicle fringe benefits such as towing and recovery services together with mechanical repairs at discounted rates and very often at no charge whatsoever. Most garages and workshops that facilitate these motor plans are compelled to fit new parts to your motor vehicle.

Motor vehicle dealerships are suppliers of original manufacturers parts that are usually fitted to vehicles under motor plan. Sometimes aftermarket parts are fitted through approved suppliers which sells new aftermarket motor spares and accessories to anyone wanting to purchase their spares. It is very unlikely to find OEM (original equipment manufacturers) spares sold in your local motor spares shop down town, but you will however be able to purchase motor spares for your particular make of motor vehicle from the local motor spares supplier who sells pirate brands. These shops stock the ‘copy cat’ version of the original vehicle manufacturers parts, and these spares are referred to as ‘pirate spares’ or ‘aftermarket motor spares’.

Your third option to consider when buying replacement motor spares is to make a few calls to the local auto and commercial scrap yards or salvage yards in your area. These are the places where you park outside and make your way into an untidy mess of vehicle parts lying around that have been stripped off vehicles that have been either discontinued from road use for various reasons or whereby the vehicles have been involved in road accidents and scrapped and dismantled for their valuable spare parts and accessories.

Salvaged motor spares are often available at approximately half the price of a new OEM part or aftermarket part, and are therefore attractive to most people if they are readily available. It is often difficult to find good used spares from reliable and honest motor vehicle scrap yard suppliers.

If you are looking for any new, used or aftermarket motor spares, contact Looking 4 Spares, your free motor spares locator service that will help you get good new and used motor spares at the right motor parts outlet, safely and securely.
