Running a commercial truck fleet isn’t cheap, especially when it comes to replacing parts. When multiple parts need replacing, though, the costs can escalate even quicker – often diverting funds from other critical areas of your operation.
While new parts come with the assurance of quality and warranties, they can also come with a hefty price tag. This can be a major concern, particularly for smaller businesses that need to stretch their budgets further.
Choosing quality used or refurbished truck parts from a reputable seller can be a smart and cost-effective alternative. Many businesses shy away from used parts due to misconceptions about their reliability, but used parts can provide excellent performance and significant savings when they come from properly regulated specialists.
Looking to find out how used truck parts can be a game-changer for your business, your fleet’s performance and your wallet? PT Parts have got you covered.
YOU SAVE MONEY
The most obvious advantage of used parts is that they’re significantly cheaper. This isn’t because they’re low quality, but because the original buyer has already absorbed the depreciation costs. This means you avoid the steepest drops in value and still get parts that perform well.
For the price of a single new truck part, you could afford several used ones. This allows you to build up a stockpile of reliable spare parts, ready to fix your trucks quickly and efficiently whenever needed. High-quality used parts enable you to keep your fleet running smoothly, ensuring minimal downtime and continued income from your deliveries. Plus, lower overhead costs translate to higher profits for your business.
YOU HAVE PLENTY OF CHOICE
One of the challenges with new truck parts is that manufacturers eventually stop producing parts for older models. If you don’t constantly upgrade to the latest trucks, finding new parts for your fleet can become increasingly difficult. This scarcity can lead to extended vehicle downtime as you search for the parts you need, wasting valuable time and potential income.
Used truck parts offer a wide selection that remains available long after a model is no longer in production. Commercial auto wreckers often salvage high-quality parts and accessories from scrapped vehicles, meaning they have a much more diverse inventory. This means you have a greater chance of quickly finding the exact part you need, allowing you to get your trucks back on the road without prolonged delays.
YOU GET EXACT-MATCH REPLACEMENTS
When genuine new parts are hard to find for your fleet, aftermarket parts might seem like a good option. However, despite being new and often cheaper, these parts might not fit your truck perfectly. This mismatch can reduce your vehicle’s efficiency and even cause significant damage, leading to costly repairs and increased downtime.
Choosing genuine used parts makes sure you get components specifically designed for your truck model. These parts are an exact match, meaning they fit and work just like the original ones. This compatibility helps maintain your truck’s performance and reliability without the risks associated with aftermarket parts.
YOU ALWAYS GET OEM QUALITY
Vehicle manufacturers aim to build a reputation for supplying high-quality products. When they produce new parts, they focus heavily on optimising the design for safety, longevity and performance.
Even when these genuine spare parts are second-hand, they still offer those essential benefits. There are strict guidelines to ensure that parts are suitable for use, so any OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts available for purchase must meet these standards.
By buying genuine used OEM parts, you ensure that your trucks maintain a high standard of quality. These parts are designed to fit perfectly and perform reliably, just as the manufacturer intended. This means you can trust them to keep your vehicles running smoothly and efficiently, providing you with peace of mind and reliable operation.
YOU LIMIT YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
When demand for new truck parts rises, manufacturers ramp up production, which means more raw materials need to be mined, shipped and processed – releasing a significant amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. Plus, if no one buys used parts, they often end up discarded in landfills, contributing to waste and environmental damage.
Choosing used truck parts helps reduce this waste and lowers the need for producing new parts. By reusing existing components, you’re saving valuable materials and cutting down on the pollution that comes from manufacturing new items.
You’re also more likely to find used parts locally, which means you won’t need to import them from far away, further reducing your carbon footprint.
