Buying Spare Parts?

Purchasing Recycled Auto Parts

The National Parts Code administers a voluntary Code of Practice, which is adopted by professional auto parts recyclers. The recyclers who participate in the National Code of Practice guarantee to consumers they will only sell recycled parts, which have been removed from vehicles that have been purchased through legitimate means.
