The Boise and Garden City yards are less than a mile apart in a straight line, so you can check both in one morning. Nampa and Caldwell are about 6 miles apart, and Nampa is about 14 miles from the Boise yard. Twin Falls is the outlier, roughly 120 miles from the Boise area.
The company says its roots go back to the 1960s on Garrity Boulevard in Nampa.
What are the hours and the admission fee?
| Day | Posted hours | Last admission |
|---|---|---|
| Monday to Saturday | 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM | 5:30 PM |
| Sunday | 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM | 3:30 PM |
Public listings show 5:30 PM and 3:30 PM as closing times. Those are the last admission times, which is the number that matters if you are driving in.
Admission is $1 in cash or by debit card. The company says the fee covers the use of restrooms and wheelbarrows, and small items such as fuses, light bulbs, bolts and clips. Sunday hours are uncommon in Idaho. Of the 88 Idaho yards in our directory, nine list Sunday hours, and five of those nine are Jalopy Jungle.
What are the yard rules?
| Subject | Rule |
|---|---|
| Age | 16 or older, no exceptions |
| Tools | Bring your own. None are sold, rented or lent |
| Power | No outlets. Hand tools or battery tools only |
| Not allowed | Jacks, torches or open flames, body saws, alcohol, smoking, glass |
| Footwear | Closed-toe shoes. No sandals |
| Toolboxes | Inspected on the way in and on the way out |
| Parts you bring for matching | Must be inspected and marked by an employee first |
| Heavy parts | The yard supplies lifts for engines, transmissions and truck beds |
The cars sit on stands, which is why jacks are banned and why you should never move a stand. Bring a second person for anything heavy. The site also warns that assemblies such as brakes and axles are priced by component, so remove only the part you need.
We did not find a parts price list on the company's website. Ask for the price at the counter before you start on a large part. Our junkyard tool checklist lists what to bring.
How do you see what vehicles are in stock?
The inventory page lists vehicles by yard. It updates once a day at midnight, so a car set out or crushed today shows up tomorrow. Colors are not listed, and parts are not tracked, so a car on the list may already be missing the part you want.
The company gives one useful tip for trucks: search every name the model goes by. A Chevrolet Silverado may be filed as C1500, K1500 or 1500, and a Dodge Ram as D150 or Ram 1500.
