Buying Parts From the Junkyard in Car Mechanic Simulator

When shopping for parts from the Junkpile, ensure you get parts under or above 15% condition. Why, you ask? Because most parts can only be repaired when at or above 15%.

In addition, make sure you purchase parts that are repairable in the first place. Otherwise, it won’t matter if the parts are at 15% or better condition, as you cannot repair them later.
