A-1 Metals & Auto Salvage is a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal dealer at 5795 Stockdale Rd in Paso Robles.

Staff are on hand to help with part identification or answer questions. The business also takes scrap metal for recycling, including local pickup for large loads.
Services & What to Expect
A-1 Metals offers two main services: a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal recycling. The yard has parts from cars, trucks, and SUVs—both domestic and foreign. You’ll find common items like bumpers, fenders, and engines, along with harder-to-find components. Customers locate and remove parts themselves, but staff can help identify what you need or check condition.
The scrap metal service accepts steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. Small loads can be dropped off on-site, while larger quantities may qualify for pickup in the area. Prices for scrap metal change with market rates, so check current pricing before bringing in material.
To remove parts, bring your own tools—wrenches, a jack, and anything specific for the job. Gloves and safety glasses are a good idea. The yard doesn’t lend tools, so plan ahead. Payment is made at purchase, usually by cash or card, depending on the business’s current policy.
If you’re looking to get rid of an old car or truck, A-1 Metals may take it for parts or scrap. For the best offers on junk vehicles, though, check local cash-for-cars services first.
