Instead of visiting various junkyards in person, I searched for specialized forums and Facebook groups dedicated to Toyota parts. I posted my requirements and within hours, I got a response from a junkyard in Pennsylvania that had just what I needed.

Automotive Recycling: Turn Junk Cars Into Cash and Treasure I didn't expect my old car, covered in rust and dust, could actually earn me some money. But that's exactly what happened when I learned more about automotive recycling. I remember taking my car to a local scrap yard. They dismantled it and sold the parts that could still be used or melted down the metals for other products. This not only gave me some extra cash but also felt good because I was cutting down on waste.

This made fixing cars not only doable but fun. Let me tell you about how I got my garage ready for fixing any car, which helps me start any job feeling sure and calm. Once, I had to change the suspension on my car. I realized I needed to see clearly under the car. So, I installed bright LED lights. This made a huge difference.

I also made sure to have a fire extinguisher because I once saw a small fire start when I was soldering wires. These specific changes made my...

Search Δ EV battery repair is dangerous. Here’s why mechanics want to do it anyway. About three times a day, Rich Benoit gets a call to his auto shop, The Electrified Garage, from the owner of an older Tesla Model S whose car battery has begun to fail. The battery, which used to provide several hundred miles of range, might suddenly only last 50 miles on a single charge. These cars are often out of warranty, and the cost of replacing the battery can exceed $15,000. For most products, repair is a more affordable option than replacement. And in theory, lots of these Tesla batteries can be fixed, said Benoit, who runs one of the few Tesla-focused independent repair shops in the United States. But due to the time and training involved, the safety considerations, an...
