Our online data base calculates shipping for your order and includes it in your price quote. Most parts are shipped via UPS ground. For parts too large for UPS or other standard delivery means, we ship by commercial truck. The price quoted for delivery of these larger items is based on delivery to a business address. For delivery to a residential address the large items have to be transferred to a smaller "local" delivery truck at an additional fee of from $75.00 to $100.00.

The VIN or Vehicle Identification Number contains a code that includes vital information on your particular car. It may be necessary to review this code to assure that you get the correct transmission or engine as well as ECU computer or other component. You can find this number on the title or on a riveted tag on the dash near the defroster vent in front of the driver. We may also need the date of manufacture. It usually is in the upper right corner of the tag on the driver door jam.

For our purposes, the Left is the driver side and the Right is the passenger side.

Parts grading is our way of quantifying the high level of quality in the products we provide. All used auto parts are assigned an "A" or "B" designation depending on the mileage (If a mechanical part) of the vehicle it was removed from, or it's condition (If a body part).

For sheet metal parts, grading is based on any necessary repair time required to make the panel "like new." Definition of "A" and "B" grades on sheet metal body parts:

• "A" grade parts have less than 1 unit of repair necessary.
• "B" grade parts have less than 2 units of repair necessary.
• An entire front end or rear body sheet metal assembly in "A" condition will have less than three units of repair necessary.
• An entire front end or rear body sheet metal assembly that is "B" grade will have less than 6 units of total repair necessary on the entire assembly.
• A "unit" is defined as damage not exceeding the surface area of a common credit card in size.

Definition of "A" and "B" grades on used mechanical parts:

For mechanical parts, the grading is based on mileage.

• "A" parts have less than 60,000 total miles, or if over 60,000 miles, cannot exceed 15,000 miles per model year of age.
• "B" parts have more than 60,000 total miles on them and have exceeded 15,000 miles per model year of age.

"B" parts cannot exceed 200,000 total miles regardless of age.
