Resources > What is Damage Locator?

Used auto parts offer great savings when looking for quality replacement auto parts for your car. Usually the buyer will see significant savings compared to the cost of new auto parts. Since used parts are recycled, they sometimes will have damage. Purchasing replacement auto parts are a great value as the damage is often minor.

The ARA, Automotive Recyclers Association, Damage Code Locator is the standard grading system for salvage yards. Cocoa Auto Salvage uses these codes to indicate damage in their comments or descriptions.

The ARA Damage Codes tells the amount of damage the used auto parts have. Each code tells you the location of the damage, the type of damage, and the number of hours to repair the damage.
