Are airbags safe to install?

Yes, the airbags we sell at 603 Auto Salvage are safe to install, provided that they are installed by a qualified technician following all manufacturer and safety guidelines. We take the handling and sale of airbags very seriously because they are safety-critical components. Every airbag that comes into our possession is carefully inspected and cataloged. We verify that it has not been deployed, damaged, or compromised in any way. Airbags that show any sign of deployment, corrosion, or moisture exposure are immediately recycled and never offered for sale.

When a vehicle arrives at our yard, our technicians use manufacturer-approved procedures to disconnect and remove the airbags. This involves disconnecting the battery, checking diagnostic systems, and ensuring that all connectors and inflators are intact. Once removed, airbags are stored in a controlled environment to prevent damage from heat, humidity, or static discharge. Before a sale, we double-check the airbag’s part number and compatibility with the buyer’s vehicle to ensure it’s the correct match.

It’s extremely important that airbags are installed by professionals. Even though the parts we provide are safe, incorrect installation can cause failure or accidental deployment. We always recommend that our customers have airbags installed by a certified body shop or repair technician who has experience working with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) components.

At 603 Auto Salvage, safety comes first. We follow all federal and state regulations regarding the storage and sale of airbags. You can trust that any airbag you purchase from us has been inspected with care and responsibility. When installed properly, it will perform the same function as the original, helping protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident.
