Vehicle salvage refers to the process of recovering and reusing parts from damaged or abandoned vehicles. This can include cars, trucks, and motorcycles that are no longer roadworthy due to accidents, wear, or age. Salvaged parts can be sold to repair shops or individuals looking to fix their vehicles at a lower cost. The salvage process often involves dismantling the vehicle to assess which components are still functional. Commonly salvaged parts include engines, transmissions, and body panels. Salvage yards play a crucial role in this industry, providing a source of affordable parts while promoting recycling and reducing waste.
