The yard also takes scrap metal for disposal. While the website doesn’t say if they buy junk cars, many salvage yards in the area do. If you’re looking to sell an old vehicle , call ahead to check.
The self-service process works like this:
- Find the part you need in the yard (parts are grouped by vehicle make, model, or type)
- Remove the part yourself (tools may be available for rent or purchase)
- Pay for the part by weight or at a set price, depending on the item
Staff can help identify parts or answer questions about inventory. The yard doesn’t clean or machine parts, so be ready to handle basic cleanup after removal.
