Coastal Auto Parts & Recycling at 1135 W Oglethorpe Hwy, Hinesville, GA 31313
Coastal Auto Parts & Recycling is a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal dealer at 1135 W Oglethorpe Hwy in Hinesville, Georgia. Customers can browse and remove parts from salvaged vehicles themselves. The yard focuses on used auto parts like engines, transmissions, tires, and mechanical components, along with scrap metal recycling. Unlike traditional auto parts stores, it offers direct access to parts from decommissioned vehicles at lower prices.
The yard is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week—but only on Sundays. It’s closed Monday through Saturday. This schedule gives customers after-hours access to parts when other businesses aren’t open.
Services & What to Expect
Coastal Auto Parts & Recycling is a self-service salvage yard. Customers find, remove, and pay for parts themselves. The yard doesn’t retrieve parts for you, so visitors need to search the inventory on their own. Basic tools are usually available, but bringing your own is a good idea if you need something specific.
What You Can Find
The yard carries a wide range of used auto parts, including:
- Engines and transmissions
- Tires and wheels
- Exhaust systems
- Electrical components (starters, alternators, batteries)
- Body panels and trim
- Suspension and steering parts
- Interior components (seats, dashboards, door panels)
Inventory changes often based on recent vehicle acquisitions, so popular parts may not always be in stock. Staff can help locate rare or specialized parts if they’re available.
How Self-Service Works
The process is simple:
- Visit on Sunday—it’s the only day the yard is open, 24/7.
- Walk through the inventory to find your part. Vehicles are loosely organized by make, model, or part type, but the layout isn’t clearly marked.
- Use the provided tools (or your own) to remove the part. Some parts may require extra disassembly.
- Take the part to the payment area. Pricing depends on the part’s condition, demand, and the vehicle’s overall value. You pay per part, not per vehicle.
- Leave any remaining usable parts on the vehicle for other customers. Don’t leave fluids or hazardous waste—dispose of those properly.
There are no warranties on parts purchased. Buyers take full responsibility for the condition and functionality of what they remove.
Scrap Metal Recycling
The yard also recycles scrap metal, including:
- Car bodies and frames
- Metal bumpers and trim
- Catalytic converters (if removed correctly)
- Other non-hazardous metal scraps
Pricing is based on weight and current market rates. Call ahead to confirm what’s accepted and current pricing, especially for large loads.
Getting Rid of a Junk Car
If you have an old vehicle to part out or recycle, Coastal Auto Parts & Recycling may be an option—but it doesn’t buy junk cars outright. For a guaranteed offer, check with local cash-for-cars services . Some salvage yards take vehicles for free if they meet certain conditions (like being non-running and free of fluids), but policies vary.
