Though they have an extensive network for locating parts, salvage yard pricing varies as widely as opinions on the internet. It is not hard at all to find 2X pricing between yards in any given area for exactly the same part.  Signature-Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net thanks for all the input...Wheel was OK. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html >> Obvious, but start with the junk yards.

But then "Custodians" were called "Janitors" and a "User Access Cover" was called a "Manhole" : ) Cheers. > I guess back when I was your age, they were called "Junk Yards."

Many times these people aren't even older than me, but you reach a certain age where you enjoy being thought of as a youngster - even if it isn't true.

Well, at 66 I suddenly became a "kid"! Of course, I had to move to a retirement community to attain this status. Average age here is 72 but there are a lot of people here who, age wise, could have been my parents : ) Cheers > Hit something in the road and burst tire in San Diego. had AAA change it. > now worrying about the wheel.

PLONK AAA covers the person, not the car. Any car you drive is covered.....I've both waited a long while and a short while for AAA roadside service-depends on the area and which tow service the contract there. >AAA covers the person, not the car.

When I used to have AAA insurance, you HAD to buy the "membership" That's the reason I switched to Allstate. Cheaper, by far. I found I never used the roadside assistance. But for anyone who needs it, it can be a big help. But it still would be cheaper to call a tow truck once every three years than to buy a "membership" every year. My dad has it and likes it. The only problem is during a really bad snow storm he couldn't get a truck out to help him. They were too busy. He ended up taking a cab home and he even tried to get AAA to pay for it, since there was a 3 hour wait for a tow truck. Brian "Brian Matthews" <noonecares@ddd.com> wrote in message > .

True, but if you are 2000 miles from home and have no idea who to call and can't find a phone book, having the 800 number would be handy. I've never had it, but I'll consider a membership for convenience as I get older. In all my years of driving, I've only needed a hook twice so I'm still many $$$ ahead. > "Brian Matthews" <noonecares@ddd.com> wrote in message >> .

Like any insurance, if its not needed, its feels like a big ripoff, but....What does it cost to have a car towed 120 miles? betcha a pretty piece of change. Or gas delivered, or a jump start? I have it because I drive a lot. I also cover my wife and daughter because, well, because they are women :>) I've never had a house fire, but have caried the insurance for 25 years- now thats painful. is it just your day to be nasty, or are you always that way? -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html >is it just your day to be nasty, or are you always that way? **It seems more like your post flew clear over his head, perhaps he doesn't understand the art of rhetorical questions. That's my question....My roadside came in handy once and they were SNAPPY!
