  1. The metal scrap industry is full of all types of metals, of all types of grades, and every type of "flavour". It is your job as a scrap metal "artist" to know the difference between red brass and yellow brass... (hint hint It's the color!) but also much more subtle things like the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel. You will learn very quickly by taking things to a scrap yard. Ask questions, and be curious! Scrap yard crew are the best people to ask, and should be more than willing to help.

  3. Most Used auto parts for sale by owner buy cars for cash either to crush for scrap metal or to dismantle and sell the parts off the cars. Depending on the yard, they may be more focused on pushing out mass amounts of volume of scrap metal, while other yards main priority may be to buy junk cars to dismantle and sell the parts.

  7. How do you go about finding the right mechanic? First, ask your friends and family members. Is there a local mechanic they've had a good experience with? You could also check review sites like Yelp or CitySearch to see what others have thought about their experience.

  9. Inspect the tires carefully. Look for small cracks due to the drying up of the tire from the sun. Try to check out the sidewalls of the tire and look for scrapes and plugs from where it might be flat before. When you do, ask the seller to submerge the tires in water. If bubbles appear, then it goes to show that there are leaks.

  11. The first obvious reason to shop online instead of offline is the amount of time you can save. Shopping for car parts offline takes time. Finding the right part can mean going from store to store. This can waste time as well as money spent on gas. If a part is no longer carried by nearby stores, this could mean searching through scrap yards for the right part for the right model. This will be even more time consuming.

  13. Walk or Bike--Yes, don't always hop in the car when you can easily walk to wherever you are going. Biking to your local store is also an option; attach a small basket to your bike for the groceries. This is a real winner since you also benefit greatly from the increased physical exercise.

  15. Wind generators consist of three basic components which are rotor blades, shaft and generator. The rotor blades are used to convert energy from the wind into kinetic energy. When the rotor blades rotate they turn the shaft that transfers the energy to the generator much like the engine in your car transfers energy to the alternator via the belt drive to charge your battery. Generators operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When magnets are rotated around a conductor, they generate electricity.

  17.  Used car parts between getting $50 for a load of steel, and $350 for a load of stainless steel, is having a magnet handy. If you don't keep a magnet on you at all times, you are not yet a true scrapper, IMHO. The magnet will help you sort metals from being ferrous and non-ferrous very quickly, and even stop you from potential and extremely costly mistakes, ie buying copper coated steel wire as copper wire.

  19. The parts are hard to find, and are therefore expensive. Unless you engage in a treasure hunt and search for parts cars in junkyards and auctions, stock parts may be a little expensive. The reason for this is simple: car companies don't produce those parts anymore, so it would be considered rare by most people, much like a classic car junkyards.

  21. Light replacement. Let potential buyers see the great living spaces and refreshing appeal of your house for sale. Achieve this by replacing lighting fixtures which could be serving your house for years. Just remember to choose energy-efficient bulbs and lamps.
