Are all parts tested before sale?

Yes, every part we sell is inspected and tested before it reaches the customer. At 603 Auto Salvage, we believe quality control is what separates a professional recycler from a typical junkyard. When a vehicle arrives at our facility, our technicians first assess its condition. Usable components are removed carefully using proper tools to prevent damage. Once removed, each part is tested based on its type — mechanical, electrical, or body — to verify that it functions properly.

Mechanical components like engines and transmissions undergo compression or pressure testing. We check for fluid condition, leaks, and internal wear before a part is approved for sale. Electrical components such as alternators, starters, and control modules are bench-tested using diagnostic tools. Even body parts, which may not have moving functions, are inspected for straightness, rust, or cosmetic issues.

Only parts that pass inspection are entered into our inventory and tagged as ready for sale. Anything questionable is recycled for metal or core value rather than sold to customers. This ensures that what you buy from us is reliable and ready for installation. While all used parts come with some natural wear, we guarantee that every component we sell meets strict functional standards. Our commitment to testing and grading has helped us earn a reputation for quality and dependability among both individuals and professional repair shops.
