Route 66 Auto & Truck Recycler - Phoenix, AZ

Route 66 Auto & Truck Recycler is a junkyard and auto salvage yard at 2130 W Broadway Rd in Phoenix. The yard sells used car and truck parts that customers remove themselves. Inventory includes engines, transmissions, body panels, bumpers, seats, dashboards, suspension parts, drivetrain components, and electrical parts. Parts are pulled directly from vehicles on the lot, so availability changes daily.

Services & What to Expect

Customers locate, identify, and remove their own parts from vehicles on the property. Staff won't remove parts for you, so bring your own tools and prepare to work in a yard environment. The yard accepts cash and local checks for payment.

What You Can Find

The yard stocks parts from a rotating inventory of salvaged cars, trucks, and SUVs. Common categories include:

• Engines and transmissions
• Body panels, bumpers, and quarter panels
• Seats, dashboards, and door panels
• Suspension parts like struts, control arms, and ball joints
• Drivetrain components including axles, driveshafts, and transfer cases
• Electrical parts such as alternators, starters, and wiring harnesses
• Exhaust systems, mufflers, and catalytic converters
• Radiators, water pumps, and air conditioning components

Inventory changes often as new vehicles arrive and parts get removed. The yard doesn't provide part lookups or guarantee availability, so calling ahead to describe what you need is a good idea.

To find and remove a part:

1. Arrive during business hours with your tools and a vehicle to transport the part.
2. Walk the lot to locate vehicles that might have your part. Parts aren't labeled or organized by vehicle model.
3. Check the part's condition before removing it.
4. Bring the part to the office for checkout and payment.

You must bring your own tools, gloves, and safety equipment. The yard is unpaved in places and may be uneven. Customers handle all part removal and transport from the lot.

Customer Experiences

Customer reviews for Route 66 Auto & Truck Recycler are mixed. Some customers report fast responses to parts inquiries and helpful staff who hold parts while they arrange pickup. Others mention pricing concerns, saying parts cost near-dealer prices and they were charged withdrawal fees after canceling transactions once parts were already removed.

• Stephen Smith: “I messaged them online about a part I needed, and they got back to me fast. Not just fast—they shipped it out the next day, even though I was out of state.”
• Nathan Benoit: “Elias went above and beyond for me. I needed parts for my Highlander, and he held onto them for a couple days while I figured out my schedule.”
• Cynthia: “Elias is the guy you want handling your fleet. He's always straight with us, never tries to upsell junk.”
• Robert Urdoi: “They're charging used-part rates that match what you'd pay for new ones straight from the dealer. No discounts, no breaks, just full price every time.”
• Rody Romero: “These people are way overpriced. I paid $500 for parts that would've taken me 10-15 minutes to swap out myself. When I called to cancel, they hit me with a 25% fee because they'd already pulled the part.”
