Hints and Tips
Self Serve Yard
Some models are built as a range, and have interchangeable parts
Before arriving at Dapto Pick a Part, Identify the car make and model, and double check that the replacement part you have targeted bears the same part number
Bring your own hand or battery operated tools and trailer
No mains-powered tools allowed
There are no hydraulic or air tools available onsite, and we do not allow oxy torches or angle grinders
When removing tough parts, a lubricating spray (WD40) may also assist
A long tubular metal handle placed over the short handle of your tools can provide added power
Bringing a flashlight with you will also help
Wear closed toe shoes, jeans/overalls, leather rigger gloves and wrap around safety goggles
We advise that you wear clothing you know will resist corrosives (work overalls)
If in doubt, check out car manufacturers and car clubs, who often publish lists of interchangeable parts
If you are recovering a heavy part, be smart and bring two people
Also check out car-repair manuals held by your local library
Check the Prices with our friendly staff
