Ipata Oloje Old Spare Parts Market has been in existence for a very long time; in fact, I have known this market for more than 30 years. Up to today, it is still functioning as if it were just established within the community. Anything related to old spare parts for vehicles can be found here because most different brands of vehicles, such as Mazda, Corolla, Nissan, Audi, Jeep, and so on, are represented.

Spare parts related to cars are sold to customers, including car doors, fuel pumps, engines, motor tape, bumpers, mirrors, and more. They sell these parts to customers who cannot afford new ones, so they buy old cars, remove some parts, and resell them for those who need them in their vehicles. It's a spare car store where some people also learn how to sell those spare parts on their own.

_{Parts of vehicle tools are display here}

They buy complete or old vehicles from people and display them outside for customers who may need them. It's a busy market where customers are often avoid to come into contact with the traders due to how their clothes stain with oil.

They have a large number of workers in this market, where most of them look like roadside mechanics. The market also consists of different ethnic backgrounds, where they own shops in order to meet their daily needs.

The moment they sight new customers, they will ask politely what the customer wants to buy while they are closing other business deals with customers, and fresh business deals will occur with other customers. In fact, some of them will also guide the customers to the right place, especially if they are confused about what they want to buy.

They have a good layout where customers can move around freely in order to look for what they want to buy. The customers can also manage to park within the market. Roadside mechanics come to visit this market because they are assured that they will find what they want as soon as possible. Therefore, some car owners prefer their mechanics to come to this market to avoid being cheated.

There are also scrap metal dealers that are present in the market where they transport scrap cars to another state or country with the aim of reprocessing them into steel. These unused cars are not functioning anymore, as they cannot be seen driving on the road.

In some advanced countries, they use machines to crush the damaged cars, but here, human effort is used to dismantle the vehicles so that they can be recycled into new ones.
