    If you need parts, you go to a junk yard and get parts. No importing needed.

    Assuming you drive something like an old civic or tercel.

      Junk yards only carry parts for so long. They generally crush and recycle stuff after a certain time. Sure there are still some backwoods places that still have a decent collection, But the vast majority of yards don’t have that 2003 pilot gt anymore.

        Old cars are built in a way we can fabricate parts to fix them as well. No reliance on china parts to get an entire vehicle running (MAF sensor that only is made in a factory in some obscure country)
