Brandywine Used Auto Parts

Brandywine Auto Parts » Blog Archive » A Brandywine YELP Review

I didn’t normally buy used used auto parts, but I figured I’d do my part for the planet and save a few bucks. (Ok actually I couldn’t get the part anyplace else) I needed a bolt. 1 lousy bolt. 1 lousy bolt that nobody makes and such an odd size I could not get a substitute. AND I HAVE AN AMERICAN CAR!!!! Anyway, I asked about the availability of the part in question, and was invited to “wander around the yard and see what you find” Well I found what I was looking for, 2 actually. So I happily returned to the counter to pay for my bolts. “That’s it??” I was asked. “Yep” I replied “a stupid bolt”. “Hmm, well have a nice day”. That was that. I got my bolt for free. I was so proud of myself. But I have to say it was nice of the guys at BAP to give me a bolt. May seem like just a bolt, but it holds the brake caliper on the front wheel. So a rather important bolt at that. Ok, so that was a nice experience. I decided to go back and see if I could get an A/C compressor. I looked around for a new one but at $450, I thought…”Hmm…Used??” And sure enough I inquired about the part, and 10 mins later a mechanic comes out, puts it in a bag, explains a few intricacies, and sends me on my way for $75. Well, I put it in the car, and it works fine. Now I’m considering this used parts thing…save the planet, save some money..not a bad combination. Ok. the guys at BAP are cool, they can answer any question about just about any type of car, and if they don’t have the part, they can locate it anywhere in the country and for a reasonable price. Oh, yes they do warranty their parts for 101 days from purchase. Just keep your receipt. So now I’m thinking used first..maybe you should too.
