LJ Auto Global & Salvage is a UK salvage hub and marketplace for used car parts. We sell from our own inspected stock and host listings from other UK sellers, so one search covers a lot of ground — and everything can be shipped to you or consolidated for export.
Second hand car parts, inspected before dispatch
Every part sold from our own stock is inspected before it leaves us, and electrical units are bench-tested with a working guarantee. Listings state the condition plainly. If a part is marked for spares or repair, it says so.
Car part breakers and breaking for spares
Much of our stock comes from breaking salvage vehicles, which is why availability changes daily. If the part you need is not showing, send the part number or your vehicle registration — we will check what is currently being broken and what our supplier network holds.
Used car parts across England and worldwide
UK orders ship by courier. Export orders are packed and labelled for freight and can be combined into a container. Browse parts by make, or go straight to engines, gearboxes or body panels.
Sell car to breakers yard — or list it yourself
If you are on the other side of this and have parts to move, you can list them here from 29p and reach the same buyers. If the car itself is finished rather than just the part, we buy it — see scrap my car.
How to order the right part first time
Nearly every wrong-part return starts the same way: the buyer describes the part by make and model, and the seller sends exactly that. One model year can carry several versions of the same component. Give us one of the following and it stops being a guess:
- The part number — most precise. It is on the part itself: cast into a flat face, printed on a white label, or stamped near a mounting point. Wipe the grease off before deciding it is missing, and photograph it rather than typing it out.
- The engine or gearbox code — for any mechanical unit. Model and year alone will not confirm fitment.
- Your vehicle registration or VIN — resolves to the build specification, which identifies most parts correctly.
Car part numbers explained covers where to find each of them, and why the letters on the end of a number are not decoration.
What condition are you actually buying?
“Used” covers three different things, and the price difference between them is not arbitrary:
- Used — removed from a donor vehicle and resold after inspection. Cheapest, and right for most panels, lights, trim and many mechanical parts.
- Reconditioned — stripped, cleaned, worn components replaced, rebuilt towards original specification. Normally carries a working guarantee. Worth the premium on hard-working units and on anything being exported, because a failure abroad cannot be resolved by driving back to the seller.
- Spares or repair — sold as faulty, incomplete or untested. Only worth buying if you want one component off it or you can repair it. Ask exactly what is wrong and what is missing.
Our used vs reconditioned vs salvage guide sets the three out in full.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about buying, selling and shipping car parts with LJ Auto.
Are used car parts reliable?
Quality used parts that have been inspected — and, for electrical items, bench-tested — are reliable and widely used in repairs. Every part we sell from stock is inspected before dispatch.
How do I find the right part for my car?
Search the catalogue, browse by make, or send us the part number or vehicle registration and we will confirm fitment from our salvage stock and network.
Do you ship used car parts worldwide?
Yes. We ship across the UK and export to Africa and Europe, with export packing and container consolidation available for larger orders.
What if the part I need is not listed?
Stock changes daily as vehicles are broken. Send us an enquiry with the part number or registration and we will source it.
Where do I find the part number on a car part?
On the part itself — cast into a flat face or boss, printed on a white or silver label, or stamped near a mounting point. Clean off the grease first, because dirt hides more part numbers than wear does, then photograph it rather than copying it by hand.
What is the difference between used and reconditioned?
A used part is removed from a donor vehicle and resold after inspection. A reconditioned part has been stripped, cleaned, had worn components replaced and been rebuilt towards its original specification, and normally carries a working guarantee — which is why it costs more.
Do you sell car parts if I only need one item?
Yes. There is no minimum order. We supply single parts for a one-off repair as well as bulk and container orders for trade and export buyers.
Can I return a used part if it does not fit?
Confirm fitment before you buy — send the part number, engine or gearbox code, or your registration and we will check it. That matters most on an export order, where returning a part usually costs more than the part is worth.
Do you deliver used car parts across the UK?
Yes, UK orders ship by courier, and delivery is shown per item before you buy. Export orders are packed and labelled for freight and can be consolidated into one container.
