salvage parts
Recover usable pieces
Salvage parts are components recovered from damaged, discarded, or decommissioned equipment for reuse.
The term appears most often with vehicles—engines, transmissions, body panels pulled from wrecked cars at junkyards.
The mechanic found salvage parts from a totaled sedan to fix my truck.
Salvage parts cost less than new ones but may show wear or require inspection.
