Short answer: San Antonio has three self-service junkyards that open seven days a week: Pick-N-Pull on Applewhite Road and two Wrench-A-Part yards, one on Interstate 10 East and one on Roosevelt Avenue. A full-service yard on New Laredo Highway pulls the part for you and is closed on Sunday. Three of the four are on the south side, within eight miles of each other.

Which junkyards are in San Antonio?
Our directory has two published listings in San Antonio. The two Wrench-A-Part rows below come from the company's website.
| Yard | Address | Type | Hours | Sunday | Google rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pick-N-Pull San Antonio | 11795 Applewhite Rd, 78224 | Self-service | Opens 8:30 AM daily. See the note on closing time | Open | 4.7 from 3,646 reviews |
| San Antonio Wrench-A-Part | 5814 Interstate 10 East, 78219 | Self-service | Entry 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, closes 6:00 PM | Open | Not in our data |
| Roosevelt Wrench-A-Part | 10606 Roosevelt Avenue, 78221 | Self-service | Entry 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, closes 6:00 PM | Open | Not in our data |
| San Antonio Used Auto Parts | New Laredo Hwy, 78211 | Full-service | Monday to Friday 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday to 4 PM | Closed | 4.3 from 158 reviews |
Two notes on that table. Pick-N-Pull's website shows two closing times: the banner on every page says 7:00 PM and a panel on the home page says 5:30 PM, which is also what its public listing shows. Plan around 5:30 or call (210) 298-5420.
The yard we list as San Antonio Used Auto Parts links to a website headed Kings Auto Parts, at 9663 New Laredo Hwy, with the same phone number, (210) 623-3333. That site gives the Saturday opening time as 8:30 AM. The street number on our listing is 9400. Call before you drive out.
How far apart are the yards?
| From | To | Straight-line distance |
|---|---|---|
| Pick-N-Pull | New Laredo Hwy yard | 3.5 miles |
| Pick-N-Pull | Roosevelt Wrench-A-Part | 4.6 miles |
| Roosevelt Wrench-A-Part | New Laredo Hwy yard | 7.6 miles |
| Roosevelt Wrench-A-Part | San Antonio Wrench-A-Part | 10.6 miles |
| Pick-N-Pull | San Antonio Wrench-A-Part | 14.1 miles |
The practical route is a south side loop: Roosevelt Avenue, Applewhite Road and New Laredo Highway in one morning. The Interstate 10 East yard is on the other side of town, about seven miles east of downtown. Road miles run longer than these figures.
What does each self-service yard charge and allow?
| Question | Pick-N-Pull San Antonio | Wrench-A-Part, both yards |
|---|---|---|
| Entry fee | Charged, amount not published | $1 |
| Minimum age | 16 | 18 |
| Warranty | Available on most parts, added at the register | Free for 90 days, except tires and ECMs |
| Banned tools | Jacks, torches, circular saws | Jacks, torches, grinders |
| Core refund window | 14 days | Not stated on the pages we read |
| Size, by its own account | 30 acres, more than 3,500 vehicles | Roosevelt: over a thousand vehicles |
Wrench-A-Part lets you use one entry fee at both of its San Antonio yards on the same day, as long as you keep the receipt. That is useful when the first yard does not have your model.
Pick-N-Pull gives military, veterans, police, fire and EMS free entry and 10% off parts with ID. Its pages disagree on power tools: the yard policies say personal power tools are not permitted, and its answers page says battery powered tools are allowed. Ask at the gate before you carry an impact wrench in. It also requires closed-toe shoes and long pants.

When should you use the full-service yard?
Use it when the part is heavy, buried or needs testing, such as an engine, a transmission or a rear axle. The New Laredo Highway yard sells through a parts search where you pick the year, the model and the part, and staff quote what is on the shelf. You do not bring tools. The trade-off is price and hours: it closes on Sunday and at 4 PM on Saturday.
Our comparison of full-service and self-service yards goes through the choice.
