Scrap Yard On Samui

[Boater 641]

Is there a car scrap yard on samui where I can buy car parts ? I don't really want to pay for new parts , as the amount of crashes on the samui and write off's must be huge !

Cheers

Try the place on Soi 3, Maenam, they have always got car pieces stacked up.

Turn at the James Audio shop, head up the road about 100 metres. Shop on the left.

cars are so expensive here on samui and labour cheap, so I think most cars that appear to be total scrap end up getting repaired, try asking for parts in a free add with one of the free papers.

Hi Boater.

I've often needed odd parts and have been keeping an eye out for a scrap yard - but AFAIK there's nothing on Samui. Repair shops have to go to Surat when used bits are needed.

I had someone smash my driver's window last year - breaking in I suppose but I can't imagine what for, it's a 16 year-old Suzuki jeep (and the back door was open anyway!)

I took the car to my local car-shed and the guy got me a used piece of window glass for 800 baht, which I was most chuffed about. Right now I need a window-winder handle and have been quoted 800 baht new for this!

Why not ask your local grease-monkey to find what you want and give you a price before he gets it?

Other than that it's a day spent with your Thai translator and experimenting with taxis in Surat! Let me know when you find one!! (And get me a winder while you're at it ...)
