A motorcycle wrecker buys damaged or replacement motorcycles to remove valuable parts for resale. They do not sell complete motorcycles, but offer less expensive used parts to repair or restore motorcycles. Motorcycle owners can find rare or hard-to-find parts through a wrecker’s inventory system or online store.
A motorcycle wrecker is a dismantler or salvage yard with a focus on motorcycles and motorcycle parts. Inventory is commonly purchased from individuals, insurance companies, and auctions, and then a motorcycle wrecker removes all valuable components and parts from damaged or replacement motorcycles. Parts are cataloged in an inventory system for resale to customers.
As the wrecker often buys working motorcycles simply for parts, the typical wrecker does not sell complete motorcycles. Motorcycle wrecker sells parts and pieces to repair or restore a motorcycle with less expensive used parts. On the rare occasion that a wrecker does sell a complete or nearly complete motorcycle, it is usually a very rare or vintage example that cannot otherwise be purchased on the open market.
A motorcycle that has been involved in an accident has often sustained damage to the extent that the motorcycle is not drivable without major component replacement. If the motorcycle is more than a few years old, the parts may be nearly impossible to obtain through a dealer. This is when the motorcycle wrecker becomes a valued friend to the motorcycle owner. By removing good, usable parts from motorcycles for sale to the public, the Motorcycle Wrecker can supply the parts needed to get many damaged or broken motorcycles back on the road.
Often sold in exchange, the motorcycle wrecker ensures that there will always be some sort of stock in the salvage yard. Many parts that are not useful to one owner may be very valuable to another and may be the final piece for a long-term restoration or restoration. Most soft parts, such as tires, seats, and drive belts, are removed and stored inside to prevent damage from exposure to the elements. Engines and transmissions are commonly stored indoors, so they’re also out of the weather.
Some of the larger motorcycle wrecker services offer parts and services online in the form of an online parts store or auction type website. Others have a call service where an employee will take an order and search the yard for parts. Once located, the motorcycle wrecker will return the call, offering descriptions of the parts, including condition, color and damage found, as well as price. If satisfied, the buyer can either pay for the part or have the clerk set it aside for you to pick up.
