Services and How It Works

How Self-Service Works

Customers enter during posted hours with their own tools. Yard workers direct drivers to vehicle rows containing the needed parts. Each vehicle is marked with a bin number for inventory tracking. Customers remove parts themselves and bring them to the counter for checkout. Payment is due before parts leave the yard. The yard does not provide tools, lifts, or help with part removal.

For safety, wear closed-toe shoes and bring a flashlight if working near sunset. The yard has a no-smoking policy. Customers handle their own vehicle transport when removing large parts.
