Can I bring my mechanic to inspect a vehicle?

Yes, of course. We welcome customers who want to bring their mechanic, body specialist, or trusted friend to help inspect a vehicle or specific parts before purchasing. Many people prefer a second opinion, especially when buying a used engine, transmission, or body component, and we completely understand that. Transparency is part of our culture at 603 Auto Salvage.

If you’re bringing someone along, we just ask that you check in at the front office when you arrive. A staff member will accompany you to the inspection area for safety reasons. Because our facility is an active recycling yard, certain areas are restricted to employees only, but we’ll make sure you and your mechanic can examine what you need. We’ll also answer any technical questions about the part’s removal, testing, or warranty coverage.

Mechanics often appreciate that our team already tests and grades most mechanical components before they go on sale. For example, we document compression readings for engines and fluid conditions for transmissions. This extra detail helps mechanics confirm whether a part is a good fit before it’s installed. If your mechanic wants to see photos or test results ahead of time, we can usually provide that via email before your visit.

We encourage collaboration because our ultimate goal is the same as yours — making sure the part works perfectly once installed. So yes, please bring your mechanic anytime during our business hours. We’ll treat both of you with professionalism and respect, just like every other valued customer who walks through our doors.
