603 Auto Salvage launches e-commerce platform

603 Auto Salvage, Plaistow, New Hampshire, has launched its direct-to-consumer online store at www.603AutoSalvage.com/shop. The e-commerce platform debuts with 3,000 quality-tested used auto parts from a large inventory of thousands of components, with hundreds of new items being added weekly, according to the company.

The launch comes as vehicle owners nationwide face record-high repair costs. According to AAA, the average auto repair bill has risen 23 percent since 2022. By selling directly from its 10-acre Plaistow facility, 603 Auto Salvage, which was established in 2021, offers a timely solution for consumers and professional repair shops seeking affordable original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components.

“Our mission from the start has been to help people fix their cars affordably without sacrificing quality,” says Julie Chasse, general manager at 603 Auto Salvage. “A transmission that costs $4,000 new might cost only $1,200 through our site, and it is the same OEM part with years of service left.”

Meeting market needs

603 Auto Salvage’s expansion responds to several major pressures in the U.S. auto repair market, according to the company, including new vehicle shortages that are forcing Americans to keep cars longer, insurance companies increasingly totaling vehicles for minor damage given rising parts costs and supply chain disruptions creating wait times of up to six months for new replacement components

Platform features

The new website includes 3,000 parts that are available at launch, with its inventory expanding weekly, 603 Auto Salvage says, with its inventory drawn from thousands of total components on-site. The company offers a 90-day standard warranty for all items, with free shipping on orders over $299 to all 50 states. VIN-specific matching is offered for guaranteed fitment, with same-day order processing guaranteed before 2 p.m. EST.

“Our yard currently houses thousands of parts, and we are systematically photographing and uploading the most requested components first,” Chasse says. “Customers can still call for parts not yet listed online.

"In just two years, we have helped more than 2,000 New England customers save on repair costs, and now we are ready to bring those savings to drivers across the country.”

Launch week promotion

To celebrate its nationwide launch, 603 Auto Salvage offers 15 percent off all online orders placed through [Nov. 10 days] with promo code LAUNCH15. During the promotion, shipping is free on all orders regardless of size.

603 Auto Salvage acquires vehicles through insurance auctions, fleet retirements and trade-in programs, processing about vehicles every month. Each part undergoes a multipoint inspection and is photographed in detail before listing. By reusing OEM components rather than manufacturing new ones, the company says it contributes to sustainable automotive practices, reducing waste and the carbon footprint associated with new part production.

Rapid expansion planned

The company, which operates from a 10-acre site at 233 Main St. in Plaistow, plans to add inventory at a rate of more than 300 new parts each week, aiming to reach 10,000 parts online by spring 2026. Current listings focus on engines, transmissions, transfer cases and other high-demand body and electrical components.

“We are focused on quality and accuracy,” Chasse says. “Rather than upload everything at once, we are ensuring every part has verified data, professional photos and full fitment confidence. Customers deserve transparency when buying sight unseen.”

Specializing in vehicles from 2000 to 2024, 603 Auto Salvage says it maintains one of New England’s strongest recycled OEM parts operations.
