Are you trying to make your car last a bit longer?  With today’s economic troubles, most people are looking for ways to keep more money in their pockets - and one of these ways is to keep old cars in good shape and to make repairs as necessary rather than purchasing a new vehicle.

To that end, UNeedAPart.com has launched a free online service for locating used car parts.  Based in Long Island, the company is seeing a great deal of growth recently, which is likely attributed to the difficult economic times many people are currently facing (http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/9/prweb1335224.htm).

“Purchasing a new car, or leasing one, can mean another large monthly payment consumers have to fit into their already stretched budgets,” said the Vice President of the site, Pet Sindone.  “By repairing the cars they already have, consumers can save money.  With quality pars and regular maintenance, people can greatly extend the lives of their automobiles and get better fuel mileage.”

According to Sindone, the company has also received a growing number of requests for major car parts, such as transmissions and engines.  This indicates that, despite the high cost of these car parts, many consumers are deciding that it is more worthwhile to pay the expense rather than trying to purchase a new vehicle.
