Services & What to Expect

Tin Man Recycling is a self-service salvage yard, so customers search for parts themselves. Staff can point you in the right direction or answer questions about vehicle models, but they don’t install or repair parts. The yard carries a variety of used auto parts, including engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components. Scrap metal recycling is also available for vehicles and other metal materials.

You’ll need to bring your own tools and a way to haul parts away. Some parts may need cutting or disassembly, so be ready for some hands-on work. The yard doesn’t offer cutting services, so you’ll have to remove parts as they are. Payment is made at the time of purchase, usually by cash or card, depending on the yard’s current policies.

If you have a junk car to sell, Tin Man Recycling may buy it for scrap. For details on selling a vehicle, check out our cash for junk cars page .

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I’ve got to say—this place is run by some seriously good people. Ashley, in particular, was a lifesaver. She didn’t just answer my questions; she actually took the time to walk me through everything and made sure I left feeling like I wasn’t wasting my time. If I ever need to come back, I’m 100% going here again. ---

I was nervous about pricing when I first went in, but I left feeling like I’d gotten a fair deal—and the staff made it painless. Ashley and Tierra were the ones who really stood out. They didn’t rush me, didn’t make me feel stupid for asking basic questions, and actually seemed happy to help. Not every place is like that, so it’s worth mentioning. ---

I had to stop by the junkyard last week, and I’m so glad I did. Ashley and Ciara made the whole thing way easier than I expected—super friendly and actually seemed to care about helping me out. Then there was Sierra, who went above and beyond. I was waiting around for a bit, and she brought me a cold bottle of water like it was no big deal. Little things like that make a difference. ---

I’ve been going to this junkyard for years now, and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon. The office staff is always friendly—you can tell they actually like their jobs. Tara and Ashley, especially, are the kind of people who make the whole experience less of a hassle. Around here, that’s saying something. It’s the little things, like not making you feel like an idiot for not knowing what you’re doing, that add up. If you’re in the neighborhood and need parts, this is the spot.

Look, I’ve been around enough places to know when someone’s really good at their job—and Ja’Patric is one of those people. The guy didn’t just do his work; he *owned* it. No hand-holding, no excuses, just got it done, even when dispatch was throwing a ton at him. And let’s be real: working out in Arizona in the summer heat, hauling who knows what in that truck? That’s not easy. I hope his bosses see what I see, because people like him are the reason this place actually *works*. Give the man some credit—he’s out there busting his tail while everyone else sits in the AC. ---
