Services & What to Expect

Cernovich's Auto & Truck is a self-service salvage yard. Customers can enter during open hours to find and remove parts from junked vehicles. The yard has a selection of salvaged cars, trucks, and other vehicles, making it a good place to find used auto parts at lower prices than new ones.

The process is simple: visit during open hours, locate the part you need, and remove it yourself. Basic tools for cutting and disassembly are usually available on-site. Some yards provide safety gear, but it’s best to bring your own if you prefer. The yard doesn’t offer online part lookups, so you’ll need to visit in person to search for what you need.

While the yard is mostly self-service, it may also take in junk cars for scrap. If you’re looking to get rid of an old vehicle, check out local cash-for-cars buyers for a quick sale.

Honestly, the whole thing was quick and easy—dropped off my scrap metal, got paid, done. But what really stood out was how clean the place was. No mud, no junk everywhere, just solid concrete where I parked. The guys working there didn’t waste my time either. Straight to the point, no hassle. ---

Kim’s the real deal. Need a random piece of metal, an old car part, or something weird you can’t find anywhere else? He’ll dig through that pile like it’s nothing. And yeah, I know scrap yards don’t usually get five stars, but this one earned it. ---

Called about a part for my car, and the woman on the phone basically said, *"We don’t keep stuff on hand, good luck."* No real help, no effort to check or see if they could find it. Felt like they were just waiting for the call to end. ---

Tried calling three times for a quote—no answer, not even a voicemail. Gave up and went somewhere else. Not worth the hassle.

These folks don’t mess around. Fair price, no games, and you can tell they actually care about doing right by people. The kind of place where you leave thinking, *"I want to be that honest."* Not enough businesses like this left. ---
