Auto Parts: Parts for 1995 Chevy Blazer, auto salvage yard, chevy blazer

Question
Hi. I am fixing up an old Blazer, but funds are tight. Please advise where I can purchase a steering coupling for a 1995 Blazer. Kragen's have them for $33 but I found one last week for just over $8, but now I need to order it, I cannot find it. I have located a driver's door window motor at Parts Train for about $50 which I assume is new. Any better ideas on this one? I am also searching for a vent cover between the hood and windscreen, but nothing seems to be available.

Answer
Hi Gareth,

Your best bet is used. Go to a local auto salvage yard and for a small fee I'm sure they'll let you pull your own parts.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
