Cairo Auto Recycling
Cairo Auto Recycling is a self-service junkyard in Laurel, Delaware. Customers bring their own tools to remove parts from salvaged vehicles. The yard operates as a pull-your-own-parts facility and does not provide dismantling services. It specializes in used auto parts, scrap metal recycling, and vehicle disposal.
Services and How It Works
This is a self-service yard. You enter, find the vehicles with the parts you need, and remove them yourself. Staff do not help locate parts, retrieve components, or assist with removal. The yard charges an entry fee and may charge a per-part fee depending on the component.
Common parts available include:
- Engines and transmissions
- Front and rear body panels
- Doors, hoods, and trunk lids
- Bumpers and grilles
- Interior components like seats and dash parts
- Wheels and tires
- Brake components and calipers
- Exhaust systems and mufflers
Bring your own tools: wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, pry bars, and a cutting tool if needed. Arrange your own transportation for removed parts. The yard is not responsible for damage to vehicles or injury during removal.
Cairo Auto Recycling does not offer cash for cars or vehicle buying services. For recycling or disposal of a junk vehicle, visit cash for junk cars to find local options.
