A couple of weeks ago, while I was driving down 23, I saw a glistening Honda Beat rising above a heap of wrecked cars. I hadn’t been to any junk yards looking for a Honda Beat, but I knew Takushi had one! Takushi Junk Yard shows only as an Auto Body Shop on Google Maps and it doesn’t have any reviews, but once the issues in my Honda Beat became clear, I knew I had to check it out. When I pulled in it looked like they were fixing cars in makeshift stalls on the left, and there was a tire shed on the right. There weren’t any marked parking spaces so I went straight and parked at the top of the hill above the junk yard. A member of the staff immediately greeted me but didn’t speak English, and I still can only say hello and yes in Japanese. He directed me to a staff member who was busy under a car, but I assumed he could speak English. After a couple minutes of waiting, he came out from the car to grab a tool and saw me waiting with the other staff member. I try not to bother people who are under cars. I asked him about gauges for my Honda Beat. He took me into the junk yard and showed me his beautiful white Honda Beat that was sitting on top of a storage container. It had been thoroughly scavenged, but it still had it’s instrument cluster. I don’t think Takushi is a pick-n-pull type of junk yard. I don’t think the technician quite understood my question, but he told me he could have the parts removed and ready in two hours. It would be 6000 yen for the instrument cluster. That seemed reasonable. I paid him a small deposit and agreed to come back in two hours. I showed up right on time, and the instrument cluster was removed and ready. I paid the same technician the remainder of the 6000 yen, and he handed me the instrument cluster. Takushi didn’t seem to do receipts or invoices. That’s chill. I don’t need ’em. The cluster had some corrosion from being exposed to the Okinawa humidity. I think the Beat had been there a long time with missing doors. The gauges didn’t all work, but I only need the fuel gauge and the temperature gauge. After several hours of work, I realized I’m an idiot. The gauges weren’t the problem. When the dealer said the gauge didn’t work, they meant it was displaying incorrect information. Now I need to do some actual diagnosis and check the sending unit. Anyways, Takushi seems like an alright place. They have parts. They aren’t expensive. If you need parts and your favorite junk yard doesn’t have it, maybe Takushi does. Unless you need parts for a Honda Beat. They don’t have any more. I bought them all.
