Overview

South El Monte Auto Salvage - South El Monte, California

South El Monte Auto Salvage is an auto salvage yard at 11203 Rush Street in South El Monte. Customers can browse, remove, and pay for parts from salvaged vehicles on their own. The yard is open 24 hours on Mondays, which is rare for salvage yards in the area. It’s been a local option for used auto parts, scrap metal, and vehicle components for years.

Services & What to Expect

This salvage yard is for customers who want to find their own parts. You’ll find cars, trucks, SUVs, and other vehicles to search through. Tools like wrenches, jacks, and cutters are usually available for rent or use, but check before visiting.

Staff won’t remove parts for you, so you’ll need to take them yourself. This setup works well for mechanics, DIYers, and anyone looking to cut repair costs. If you’re not experienced, bring someone who is or hire a local mechanic to help.

Beyond parts, the yard may have scrap metal, engines, transmissions, and other components. Pricing is per part or per vehicle, and you pay only for what you take. Part prices aren’t listed online, so call or visit to check availability and costs.

If you have an old car to sell, South El Monte Auto Salvage might buy it for scrap or parts. The website doesn’t confirm this, so check with other local junkyards for accurate info on selling your vehicle.

What to Bring

  • A valid ID or driver’s license
  • Cash or a debit/credit card (some yards only take cash—confirm first)
  • Tools for removing parts (ask about rentals if you don’t have your own)
  • Gloves and safety gear (salvage yards can be messy and unsafe)
  • A truck, trailer, or vehicle that can tow (for large parts or whole cars)
  • A list of the parts you need (to save time searching)

What to Know Before You Go

  • No staff help is available for part removal—you’re on your own.
  • 24-hour access is only on Mondays; other days follow regular hours.
  • Some parts may need cutting or disassembly—bring the right tools.
  • Prices aren’t listed online; call or visit for quotes on specific parts.

The guy on the phone couldn’t even be bothered to finish the call—just hung up like I’d wasted his time. Not sure if they’re busy or just don’t care, but that’s not how you run a business. ---

If you’re looking for parts for a Toyota, Honda, BMW, or Mercedes, this place has you covered. Everything else? Good luck. ---

The guy’s English was hard to follow, and when I asked him to repeat himself, he got all annoyed. Not exactly the kind of service you’d expect—just seemed rude, honestly.

Two hours down, two hours back, and $440 lighter for a bumper that was supposed to be for my 2007 Lexus. Turns out the sensors were dead, the wiring was shot, and the grill was missing—none of which they mentioned when I bought it. Tried calling to complain, but they just shrugged and said, “AS IS, no refunds.” Oh, and they hit me with a 10% cash fee on top of it all. If you value your money—or your sanity—skip this place entirely. And for the love of god, *always* use a credit card so you’ve got a fighting chance if things go south. ---

Paul’s the real deal—fair prices, no games, and he actually listens. Not one of those guys who’ll lowball you or act like you’re wasting his time. If more places had people like him, junkyards wouldn’t have such a bad rep. ---

They’ll dig through their whole lot if that’s what it takes to find what you need. If they don’t have it? At least they’ll tell you straight up instead of stringing you along.
