Desert Valley Auto Parts at 900 W Cottonwood Ln, Casa Grande, AZ 85122

There’s a big selection of parts from the '40s through the '60s. I even came across a rubber pedal pad for a VW T2 on top of everything else.

I shot them an email to check if the cars listed online were still up for grabs. They fobbed it off to someone else, but after that, radio silence. A while later I phoned to ask about a specific project car they had up. They promised to text new pictures, but a week went by with nothing. When I called back to follow up, they came back with some story about it "maybe being stolen." Yeah, right. That car wasn’t going anywhere under its own power. It felt more like they lost it or changed their mind and were just making up an excuse. Next, I asked about another project car, this one still supposedly available. They sent fresh photos like they said they would, so I made an offer. Again, nothing back from them. Their prices are pretty steep, and their customer service is basically nonexistent.

Finally got there, and yeah the prices were higher than I expected, but these parts aren’t easy to get unless you buy the whole thing. They let us wander around, even with our small dog tagging along. The staff was helpful too — actually lent us a screwdriver. Only thing not happy was the guard cat, who wasn’t thrilled about our dog Chica.

Honestly, this place was a breath of fresh air. The staff? All solid folks—no attitude, just good vibes. The guy who helped me track down that part didn’t just find it; he made the whole process smooth. If you’re hunting for parts, skip the hassle and go here. ---

I rolled in late, almost at closing, but they didn’t rush me out. Found the exact part I needed for my old truck, and the price was fair—not some inflated junkyard markup. The guys there are the kind you can shoot the breeze with while they dig through the graveyard of cars. Already planning my next trip back. ---

My kid and I picked up a ’56 Dodge Royal Lancer as a father-son project, and Desert Valley Auto Parts made it easy. From day one, the whole crew’s been nothing but helpful—no attitude, just good people who know their stuff. If you’re looking to build something (or just tinker for fun), these guys are the real deal. Casa Grande’s got a hidden gem here. ---

The people at this salvage yard are just cool as hell. And their dog, Daisy? Absolute chaos in the best way—followed us around the whole time like she owned the place. Saw a ton of old cars I’d love to sink my hands into. You never know what you’ll find, and that’s half the fun. Worth a look, even if you’re just browsing.

This place is packed with classics—like, *packed*. We go just to wander the lot sometimes. The staff’s easy to talk to and actually knows what they’re doing. Pricing? Eh, it’s not cheap, but then again, nothing in the classic car world is these days. I’ll update this once I actually buy something, but so far, so good. ---
