Auto Junkyards? Salvage vehicles?
Can anyone help me out here?
I am looking for a car that was in a accident, 04+ Wrx that has damage. But can be fixed. (Project) I tried googling and only found parts, I want the whole car... They go somewhere after the insurance company rights you the check, But I cant seem to find out where. Thanks, Bogus

most of them are stripped for all the parts they can be, then crushed

look for an 04 headlight or something... call up the junkyard and ask them if/how you can purchase the whole car? |

There is a junk yard in Lockport that specalizes in imports. If anywhere had one around here it would probally be them. Try looking up salvage yards in the yellow pages.

Talk to Greg Drozd... he's another of you Polish guys, but he's been into it for years. I believe he sometimes works out of the room/shop next to Dylan's.

auctions
I think the place they go after the accident, before being parted out, is the auction
For instance, my donor car for my swap was wrecked in indiana(rear end collison) and was then put up for auction, Bionic autoparts in chicago ( cicero and north ave) bought the car hoping to turn around and part it out. I happened to call them right around the same time and they made a deal with me for the engine, tranny, ecu, harness, etc. Then they stripped out all the other parts i didn't want/need or that they felt they could sell separately and cut the car in half. The front was then stored for possible purchase and the rear (mostly scrap) was tossed into the graveyard part of the their yard I suppose you could try to get in touch with someone at one of those type places(ie, bionic autoparts) and tell them exactly what yer looking for. They have some sort of nationwide junkyard database and can find what you need elsewhere or perhaps keep an eye out for what you seek at the next auction. Good luck. |

Another spot is Arena Auto Auction in Bolingbrook, right off of Rt 53 and I-55. tverdek is right that they usually go to an auction after the insurance is done with it. Most places don't let cars sit around unless they can make money off of it in parts. Someone mentioned a junkyard in Lockport, it is called Southwest something or other and they are total jerks, at least in my experience. Quite a meager selection as well...the owners own the shop across the street on State and they appear to only car about domestics. Just my $0.02

Bionic treated me really well. They let me come check out the car before it was stripped down; gave me the vin info. Some guy there accidentally sold the ecu before i got there, and they were quick to find me a replacement. They listened to my concerns, had everything prepared when I needed, let me come back later to get more parts off the car that they didn't realize i needed. Price was also really nice I forget the guys name i dealt with... Jeremy (if yer reading) do you remember?
