OmniSource Corporation in Fort Wayne
OmniSource Corporation at 2511 Taylor St in Fort Wayne sells used auto parts and takes scrap metal and junk vehicles. The yard lets customers bring their own tools, enter the yard, remove parts they need, and leave the same day. It’s open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM and closed weekends.
What to expect
OmniSource runs a self-service yard where people arrive with their own tools, enter the yard, and pull parts directly from donor vehicles. Staff direct customers to the right sections and help find vehicles on site. The process is quick and doesn’t require an appointment.
Bring your own vehicle, basic tools for removal, and a way to pay at the scale house. The yard doesn’t have lifts or hoists—parts must be removed by hand from accessible spots. Overnight parking isn’t allowed, based on customer reports.
They also accept junk vehicles for scrap metal processing. Staff at the scale and security shack guide new visitors to the correct entry points and paperwork.
