Spares

One of the banes about owning an old car is discovered by the owner when he or she needs to locate spares for it. The spares for some vehicle makes are notoriously expensive – in many cases spares are prohibitively so. This makes it both convenient and cost effective to find spares through a company such a looking4spares, who have vast and many useful contacts throughout the automotive "spares" and automotive scrapyard industry. By far the majority of new vehicles sold in South Africa are done so with a service plan which now usually includes all spares. What this means is that a number of the vehicle’s services are included in the purchase price of the vehicle so you dont pay for spares. Because of this by far the majority of South African vehicle owners have either little or no notion at all of the actual cost of car spares, truck spares and new spares are not cheap.

South Africa suffers the same economic climate as much of the rest of the world when it comes to buying spares. Spares are big due to the amount of vehicles in the world and they all constantly need spares and spares are easy to find if you know how. One of the results of this is that many vehicle owners are hanging on to their vehicles well beyond the coverage of their maintenance plans. In addition many South Africans of necessity own old and secondhand or third hand vehicles. As a direct result of this there is a very large used vehicle spares industry that has developed over the years. In addition there is a large industry and turnover of generic and sometimes grey spares. When looking for spares and parts for a vehicle in the past it has meant many hours of footslogging from scrapyard to scrapyard in those areas below the railway lines where the auto scrap yards are to be found. This is where looking4spares comes in to the picture. The whole concept of our company is to be able to source those elusive spares for you from scrapyards and spares dealers, and at a reasonable cost.
