Great place for used parts. I'm not affiliated
Ok, 1st, I'm in no way affiliated with or representing this place. Just my experience dealing with them.
http://www.jimsauto.com/
I posted a WANTED thread on our classifieds for the dash top center storage bin and came up empty. Online I only found one and it was the wrong color for $50 plus shipping.
I started searching salvage yards around and they all sucked. Then I found this one in Sebring, FL about an hour & half away. A dude named Sanchez helped me and was awesome. They have a good computer database where every car is numbered even listing the submodel. No other yard called me back after saying they would but Sanchez called me back in about 20 minutes letting me know they had already pulled a black storage bin from a 2010 LT. He shipped it to me $35 plus $10 Fedex to my job and I got it the next day. I did have to receive and send back a credit card authorization form to let them charge me without being there but that took a whole 5 minutes.
The box was like new and is the one with the new latch that is better than the one on my '08 SS so that's a bonus.
Price - Great
Customer service - Great
Payment method - 1998 style but fast and worked fine
Communication - Outstanding
Selection - appears huge.
They also have two separate yards. One for domestic and one for imports so this may help everyone with many different models.
Salvage/used isn't for everyone but it was as easy as ebay but you can actually hear a human voice and they really seem like an honest operation.
