"New" means the part was made to the manufacturer's specs, by the maker or by an independent retailer. Parts that are rebuilt, reconditioned, and re-manufactured have been restored to good condition. "Salvage" means that it came off a car and hasn't been fixed.

Other shops may charge an inflated rate for a minor repair that should be done within a shorter period of time.
