When you own a fleet of towing trucks, one of the largest expenses can come from parts for repairs and maintenance. These parts can become difficult to find if you have older Ford trucks, Honda trucks, NIssan trucks, and other truck types. Finding parts can even become difficult if you are using a supplier. One way to avoid this is to use an auto wrecking service. If you haven't thought of this before, here are three reasons you should.

Affordable Pricing

One of the largest reasons to buy your truck parts from auto wreckers and auto wrecking companies is the pricing. If you order the parts from a supplier, even used parts, you will likely be paying larger fees for those parts. For example, you may be paying the fee for the refurbishing and cleaning of the part as well as the stocking of that part and shipping. With an auto wrecker company, you skip most of those fees, which results in giving you a lower fee for the part overall. You may also be able to gain a discount for larger orders and multiple part orders.

Specific Parts

When you order from a parts supplier, you may find that they don't have the specific make and model of part you need. For example, you may need a part for a Ford truck model known as the Louisville. The supplier may have a part to fit the Louisville, but the part isn't a Ford part. It may be a generic part that will fit multiple make and models of Ford trucks. You may even find that the generic parts are made for multiple trucks such as the Honda trucks or Nissan trucks. When you get parts from Ford wreckers, you can ensure the part is made by Ford, and that it fits your specific make and model rather than a generic listing.

Pull Options

In some cases, there are options with auto wreckers to pull the parts yourself. What this means is that you can pull all of the parts you need from a truck before the truck is smashed and used for other parts and sales options. This can be ideal if you have multiple parts needs and know where to locate those parts on the truck. Pull options also can mean lower costs, more parts options and the ability to get the parts you need easily without having to wait or order an item to be delivered.

These are only three reasons to buy your tow truck parts from an auto wrecking company. If you think this may be a viable option for your business, contact your local auto wrecker service today. They can help with parts list, pricing and other related information.
