You can sell these to a junk yard for some extra money by left clicking on them. Even really bad condition parts will remain behind. You inventory shows you all the left over parts from previous jobs. Yellow is a 50/50 and orange is still useable but will need to be replaced shortly. Once you have figured out a parts condition it will range from a bright green which means new to a bright red which means broken/shot/done.

The whole car will start grey until you inspect the parts. You have to determine that yourself by inspecting the parts or running the car through diagnostic tests. Showing the part's condition does not automatically show you the condition of every part. Some players looking for more of a challenge would rather mouse over the parts based on hunches then seeing every part's condition all at once. Hide/show car part condition is the visual aid that will let you find the problem parts. Hiding the body gives you super special mechanics x-ray vision. The hide shows are useful to newer mechanics. Inventory and repair order on the bottom. Top row/bottom row they are hide/show body and hide show part condition on top. When freely walking around the garage a right click will bring up four options. The next two menus are both accessible from the right mouse button. This allows you to save the game and exit, restart a repair from the beginning (a new and welcomed feature for newer mechanics) and return to garage in case you hit the key by accident. The first from the escape key is the game options menu. There are three menus you can access in the game. They go over this on your first job in the career but it's a good refresher. Right click can also back you out of some as well. Left clicking will allow you to access a point in the garage such as a car hub or the lift controls. The mouse controls the head movement/vision. The game uses a standard WASD movement setup to move you the mechanic around the garage. Consider it a refresher of how to get around. If you need some further explanation of the basic game interaction this part if for you.
