Boatwrights Wrecking Yard LLC - Phoenix, AZ
Boatwrights Wrecking Yard LLC operates a self-service auto salvage yard at 3121 S 51st Ave in Phoenix. Customers can select and remove used car parts directly from wrecked vehicles on site. The yard specializes in providing affordable replacement parts for common domestic and import models. They don't offer towing, dismantling, or scrap services.
Services & What to Expect
This is a self-service yard where customers find and remove their own parts from wrecked vehicles. Here's how it works:
- Arrive during yard hours and check in at the counter
- Walk the yard to locate vehicles matching your year, make, and model
- Identify needed parts and confirm availability with staff
- Remove parts using your own tools or rent tools on site
- Pay at checkout and take parts with you
Staff help with part identification and can provide photos of parts before you remove them. The yard stocks domestic and import vehicles from major manufacturers including Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.
Unlike full-service yards, they don't offer towing or staff removal of parts. The focus is on clean, well-organized wrecks that customers can safely access. Payment is accepted in cash, check, or major credit cards.
If you need a vehicle removed instead of parting it out, see cash for junk cars services in Phoenix.
