Q: Is a car dealership or auto parts store the only places to go for parts on my car?
A: Like with so many things, the Internet is a great source, but junkyards, which have been around since the day after the first car hit a tree, are great places for parts. When a car is wrecked, not every part of it is ruined. You can find lights, bumpers, mirrors, engine parts, seats – all kinds of things – at a junkyard and usually at a much-lower price.
