What to Find and How It Works
This is a self-service salvage yard, so customers search for parts on their own and remove them without staff help. The inventory includes parts for many vehicle types, such as:
- Engines and transmissions
- Body panels (doors, fenders, hoods, bumpers)
- Suspension parts (shocks, struts, control arms)
- Interior components (seats, dashboards, door panels)
- Electrical parts (alternators, starters, wiring)
- Used tires (domestic and import)
- Scrap metal and recyclable materials
The yard doesn’t offer professional disassembly, so you’ll need to locate and remove parts yourself. Basic tools like sockets and wrenches are helpful—bring your own or ask if they rent tools on-site. They also take scrap metal and used parts for recycling, but details on cash payouts aren’t listed online.
If you have an old car to get rid of, many local junkyards buy vehicles for parts or scrap. Selling a junk car is a quick way to clear space and make some cash.
