Services & What to Expect
Allied Recycling Center Inc is a self-service salvage yard. Customers handle finding and removing parts on their own. Staff don’t assist with disassembly, so visitors must be prepared to locate and extract components themselves. Tools are sometimes available for rent or purchase, but bringing your own is best.
What You Can Find
The yard carries:
- Used auto parts like engines, transmissions, suspension components, and electrical parts
- Body panels and trim pieces
- Scrap metal and salvageable vehicle frames
- Parts for late-model and classic cars
The inventory includes common automotive components for domestic and foreign vehicles, but they don’t specialize in rare or high-end parts.
How Self-Service Works
The process is simple:
- Visit during operating hours (Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM).
- Find the part you need by browsing the yard. Parts are grouped by vehicle type and component, but the layout isn’t always clear.

- Pay for the part at the front office. Pricing is per part, with no extra fees for removal.
Customers should bring gloves, safety gear, and basic hand tools. The yard doesn’t offer warranties on used parts, so buyers take all risk.

- Equipment & Safety Concerns: Complaints include improper handling of vehicles, like a trailer fender damaged by yard equipment, and inaccurate scales—one customer found a 600-pound discrepancy in weight measurements.

Advice for Visitors: Based on reviews, customers should:
- Arrive early to avoid crowds and ensure parts are still available.
