The best source of spare parts is Japan. Cheaper comparatively although time consuming

I had heard of guys stripping old cars(more that 8 yrs)in Dubai and shipping the parts for sale.
Is there such a thing in Japan?

On point. You get old and not in use cars and dismantle. Very good business despite the challenges

Tokyo, I've been thinking of this stripping business. But can it be done internally, if not in Dubai is there a provision for someone to start small, like 5 units for a start?

Two ways of sourcing the cars for stripping locally. One is by buying salvages from Insurance companies and stripping them,or I can supply you the cars for stripping.

@jkmwatha which companies should I deal with, I have been thinking of importing popular parts and then going round car parts retailers with my van



What parts? Service parts or body parts? And from where from? It pretty risky simply hawking parts... but if you know whats popular then may be.

Im not sure how it's done elsewhere but in Japan spare parts business is a lucrative venture. Those ambitious enough do it by themselves. Depending on your approach plans and parts interested with , a 40ft container can be done within 1 -3 months. Main source is accidental or disposal cars which are very cheap or free sometimes.
The major challenge is dismantling yard as they must have a special permit from government.
@rahatupu 5 cars is economically not advisable. You need at least 20ft container.

Thanks,@Tokyo. I know it's not easy but about how much in broad approximations would I need to fill a 20 foot container for a start? Do you have references in Japan, guys I can start off with slowly? Pls feel free to email details to rahatupu at ymail.com . Ahsante
