Junk Yards Indianapolis

Junk Yards Indianapolis


Indianapolis, Indiana-  I often get asked what is a junk yard?  How do junk yards make money?  What do junk yards do?  It is pretty easy to answer these.  Some people have a picture of a junk yard as a place that has all kinds of junk for sale.  In reality a junk yard deals in old or junk cars and parts for those cars.  Most junk yards make their money from selling used engines and used transmissions, then takimg some parts off the junk car and coring them out.  Then they crush the old junk cars and sell them for the scrap metal.  It is pretty simple really.  If you have an old junk car, we will pay you cash for your junk car and tow it away for free.   Call us if you have an old junk car that you want to get rid of.  (317) 454-3202.

Correct VIN Stickers for your car or truck for importing

Correct VIN Stickers for your car or truck for importing


We often get asked why someone would need replacement vehicle identification stickers (VIN stickers) for the car or truck.  It seams one of the major reasons to get replacement VIN stickers for your car or truck is that you are importing your car or truck into the United States from Mexico and Canada and your vehicle needs all of the proper stickers on it to come into the country.  If you don't have the right stickers on your importing car, then it will not get through customs.  If your stickers look cheesy, cheap or shoddy, guess what?  Your car is not going to get through customs.  Make sure that you get the best replacment vehicle identification stickers for your money.  Replacement Vehicle Identification Stickers.

The Junkyard next door

The Junkyard next door

 

This article was first ran in Nuvo newspaper out of Indianapolis, Indiana on April 15th, 2015.

The junk yard next door 

By
click to enlarge morton_marcus.jpg
My friend is selling her house, but she won’t get a reasonable price because of the junk yard maintained by her next-door neighbor. It’s a conflict reflecting a central tension of our times.
Mrs. Juncky, the lady next-door, has a corner house in a nice neighborhood. In front, on the side, and behind her home are expired lawn mowers, a disused boiler, a variety of abandoned planters and plastic containers, an assortment of rusted hoes, rakes and shovels, stacks of rotting wood, decrepit lawn furniture, several orphaned interior doors, and an odd collection of windows and window screens. Missing are the abandoned pickup and broken-down RV needed to complete her collection of junk.
Representatives of the neighborhood association were unsuccessful in appealing to her sense of pride or responsibility to the neighbors because there were no covenants. A city worker could not persuade her to conform to the reasonable expectations of the local code, but no action was taken because she broke no law.
When asked by my friend about this situation, Mrs. Juncky said, “It’s my property; I’ll do what I want to with it.”
The real estate example is obvious. We have zoning laws, construction codes, rules about weights and measures and a host of regulations that constrain individual liberties which may harm the interests of others. In some places, the freedom to paint your house whatever color you wish is limited by a home-owners’ agreement or covenant. Some developments insist that all structures have Spanish-style tiles roofs.
Tourists often find such constraints charming and quaint … as long as they don’t have to live with them. Historic preservation may be invoked to support conformity and suppress individual preferences. But the issue goes way beyond the maintenance of residential or commercial property.
This is the standoff between the property owner who rents land to the billboard companies for signs others see as polluting our highways and endangering our lives.
This is the ongoing battle between tax-cutters who believe “life is tough and people need to be responsible for themselves,” and their opponents who cannot justify slashing people from the roles of the disabled, indigent and unemployed.
This is America’s unresolved question of individual rights of gun ownership and the community’s reasonable expectations of safety in our homes and on our streets.
This is the issue between the parent who refuses to vaccinate a child and the well-being of thousands of other people’s children.
This is the conflict between the rights of the individual and the negative impact they have on the lives of others.
Mrs. Juncky may be within her rights; her junk does not emit bad odors or attract vermin. Her yard is just unsightly. Since we insist on believing “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” the visual wounds Mrs. Juncky inflicts are easily dismissed.
While Mrs. Juncky asserts her rights, she remains indifferent to the monetary harm to another. Surely the two could negotiate a solution, but not as long as Mrs. Juncky insists on “holding her ground.”

I would have to agree that "Ms. Junky's" rights to do with her personal property are so very much more important than anyone's perceived right to "monetary" gain or loss. Perhaps the homeowner is an artist who recreates things with what you, the writer, perceives as "junk." Perhaps she is someone who sees beauty where you see none. It really doesn't matter, what is amazing is that the very people who wish to limit laws on the books are almost always the ones who want to make more laws restricting the rights of the individual to do as they please. There is nothing in America more sacred than a person's right to own their own piece of land. What that person does with it should be completely up to them as long as they aren't physically harming someone else. Leave the woman alone, mind your own business and put up a privacy fence. I rather would have "Ms. Junky" for a neighbor than anyone who puts money ahead of my privacy and my rights.

The above commenter obviously has clean neighbors on either side and has never had to deal with this. It's the typical "live and let live" syndrome. I too agree that each person should have the right to do what they want. But I also believe that sometimes there are consequences to those actions. I think the seller should be able to sell their house and sue this woman for the difference that her mess caused them to lose. Sell some of that precious "art" for a good cause and then be done with it.

Junk Yards in Indianapolis-paying more for junk cars

Junk Yards in Indianapolis-paying more for junk cars


Indianapolis-It seems right now in Indianapolis if you are selling a junk car, the best place to go to sell your junk cars is the local junk yards.  Why are junk yards paying more for junk cars in Indianapolis than your normal junk car buyer?  Most junk car buyers simply buy your junk car, then take it to the crusher and sell it for the scrap metal value.  Right now, the price of scrap metal is very low in Indianapolis and all across the United States.  Junk yards in Indianapolis take that same junk car and sell parts off of it, then after the junk car has sold most or all of its usable parts, the junk yard sell what is left for scrap metal.  So, if you have a junk car with good parts and they are parts that are in demand, we can pay you more than scrap value for your junk car.  The biggest problem we have with this is some folks think there old junk 1993 Ford Taurus should be worth a lot more than scrap because it runs.  The problem is that Ford Taurus's part, especially off 20 year old junk cars, don't sell too many parts.  So an old junk car, is still just worth scrap price.  Give us a call and we will gladly tell you what we can pay your for your old junk cars.  (317) 454-3202.


Indianapolis junkyard

A badly wrecked junk truck like this one will just bring scrap metal prices at any salvage yard or junk yard.  This has a minimum of usable used auto parts.


Indianapolis junk car pricing

Here is a 2002 Nissan Altima that we bought as a junk car.  It is a very popular car and has several usable parts.  We paid $375 for this junk car.  The scrap metal value was only $200 though.  Hopefully this gives you an idea of how we can pay you extra for your junk car if it has good usable used auto parts that people in Indianapolis are currently buying.

Honda checking Junkyards for faulty airbags

Here is an interesting article about Honda checking junk yards not in Indianapolis, but Worldwide to find their faulty airbags.  Happy reading.

Honda safety campaign hunting for faulty Takata airbags in junkyards

Honda has been working for months to recall about 5.5 million vehicles to replace their faulty Takata airbag inflators. With many of these models dating back over a decade, some of them aren't on the road anymore; instead they're sitting in salvage yards across the country as a possible source for inexpensive, recycled parts. There's a serious risk for injuries and fatalities if these bad components end up in cars still on the road, and the automaker is on the hunt to track the dangerous parts down.

According to Automotive News, Honda thinks there could be over 24,000 recalled Takata airbags in the company's vehicles in junkyards in the US. The automaker has been working with an outside business to find them and issued notices to salvage lots around the country about an offer to buy the parts back. So far, it has tracked down around 3,900 inflators.

Bizarrely, Honda is facing pushback on this safety campaign from the Automotive Recyclers Association. "The buyback program appears to be offering recyclers a price for airbags materially lower than the fair parts value," organization CEO Michael Wilson said to Automotive News. Although, under federal law it's illegal to sell faulty components to people. The trade group also has a pending lawsuit against the automaker for alleged lost value in buying vehicles with Takata inflators.

In addition to getting the word out to auto recyclers, Honda had a nationwide advertising campaign for people to get their cars fixed. However, the company and Takata are facing many lawsuits for injuries and deaths related to the faulty inflators.

    Hmm. Spend $50 on a used airbag or $600 for a new one. The gall of people that may be fixing their own car and can't afford $600.

    Hoping the Automotive Recyclers Association president gets hit by a bus or something. It is illegal to sell defective parts. This means the part has a $0 value.

    That was my initial thought as well. Why would Honda need to buy the parts from the junkyards if shops aren't allowed to use the parts to begin with? But it occurred to me, shops don't (typically) buy from junkyards, regular people who want to fix their own cars/sell parts are. Sometimes people just need a "new" airbag to just to get rid of an annoying light on the dashboard. And the media doesn't care if it was a dealership or Joe the home mechanic who put in the airbag, if it goes off and causes an accident, the headlines will still be "Defect part in a Honda caused injuries/deaths".
    Bottom line, with Honda taking away those defective parts from junkyards, it reduces the chance of people becoming injured. It's not so much Honda "doing the right thing" as it is Honda's lawyers/PR trying to eliminate the chances of someone being injured by a Honda product.

    This seems like something all manufacturers should be legally obligated to do.  What the hell is wrong with people that they can't realize that companies MUST take responsibility for producing what turns out to be dangerous?
    They should require and pay dealerships to do the work.  After all, don't they crow about helping 'protect' consumers by helping both manufacturers AND consumers in the matters of recalls?  Hopefully that could help augment their income after the government says manufacturers can sell direct to consumers. 
    They'll turn into used car salespeople, repair shops and junkyard hounds.  Ha Ha Ha. At least the loser ones that can't hack it against competition. LOL

    Really people....!!! You're going to compare an ignition recall with an airbag recall? I can understand why Honda is doing this. Maybe somebody had a fender bender, and you need an airbag okay cool I get it. But your going to compare an airbag recall with an ignition switch recall in my opinion, and I understand is a safety related problem/recall. But with all due respect, I think it's stupid comparing these two recalls. I mean do you really go to a junkyard to buy an ignition switch? How many of you people have been to a junkyard? Do you all realize that the majority of the keys for the cars in a junkyard lot are missing? I mean do you really go to a junkyard to buy an ignition switch? I rather go to the dealer where they can read my VIN number off my vehicle, and order a new key for my ignition switch, or replace the whole ingition switch and have them re keyed to match the rest of the vehicle. Or go to an auto parts store, and buy a new ignition switch for my vehicle if I want to carry two or more keys, because you know for a fact that you're going to carry two keys one for the ignition and one for the rest of the vehicle.

    These companies making parts and safety devices in other parts of the world do not meet the standards as American companies do.  That is the main reason that I can not sell foreign cars from specific parts of the world.  I know that all companies have recalls, but American companies are beholden to the American government, where the other companies aren't.  That means that they do not have to disclose what they knew and when they knew it.  That provides even more suspicion on them.  That's my two cents worth.
