Payless Salvage Auto Parts is a self-service junkyard at 2121 West Broadway Road in Phoenix.

Services and what to expect
Payless Salvage works as a self-service yard. Customers walk the yard, identify needed parts, then remove them using their own tools or equipment rented on-site. The business doesn't offer disassembly services. Parts are sold as-is from vehicles that have been crushed or dismantled. The yard stocks components for many domestic and import makes and models, with new inventory added regularly from incoming salvage vehicles.
Customers usually bring their own tools including wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, and pry bars. Some specialty tools may be available for rent or purchase at the counter. A limited selection of basic tools is usually available, but bringing your own is recommended for most jobs. The yard is arranged with vehicles separated by make and model where possible, making part location easier for common vehicles.
Payless Salvage also pays cash for scrap metal and unwanted car parts. Accepted items include catalytic converters, radiators, alternators, starters, and other recyclable components. Payment rates vary by material type and current market prices.
