Salvage yards in the NoVA / MD area?

[kcobean]

My wife hit a BIG pothole in our Navigator and bent a rim that is now slowly leaking air. I've found a few places with replacements, but would require shipping. Anyone know of any good local salvage yards that might have a couple of take-offs?

Thanks.

I would try the parking lot at Tyson's. After dark is the best time. That's where someone acquired a foglight housing for a 2002 Suburban, courtesy of my wifes car.

Let me know if you need a getaway driv.... I mean if you need any help.

Try the site---"car-part.com"

Yup, car-part. Have used it for years and has very rarely let me down.

Why not get it fixed? Bent rim repair is about $125-150 if you can't find replacement.

Thought about that, but the wheels on the car now are pretty trashed from 9 years of brake dust and stuff and I can get an A grade replacement for $65-75.

Regarding car-parts.com, I have the wheel priced out there, I was just thinking maybe someone knew a local place to speed up the process and save on shipping.

Thanks all.

I'm appalled that you would suggest that I would steal something in the middle of the night. Who do you think I am???

eh....meet me there at 2 AM and bring a jack, Jack.

That's definitely the way to go. Just make sure it's a reputable company you get it from with a guarantee it will be within OEM spec (i.e. no more that .030" out of round)

I've had good luck using the local salvage yards... Yellow Pages and let your fingers do the walking.. Try Hubcap Haven for wheels ....

+1 Hubcap Heaven, I just bought a wheel for my wife's Lexus from them, fair price and fast turnaround.
