Overview

American & Import Auto Recyclers at 12750 CO-94, Colorado Springs, CO 80929

American & Import Auto Recyclers is a self-service auto salvage yard at 12750 CO-94 in Colorado Springs. They carry used auto parts for domestic and foreign vehicles, including engines, transmissions, body panels, interior components, and suspension parts. Customers browse and remove parts themselves, making it a good option for DIYers. The yard also recycles scrap metal and sells used tires. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with weekends closed.

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.

Let me be clear—I wouldn’t waste my money here. The way they treated me was straight-up unprofessional, like they assumed I didn’t know what I was talking about just because I’m a woman. It’s frustrating when a business acts like you’re some kind of mark. ---

Don’t trust this place. Joe C. will take advantage if he thinks you’re not familiar with how things work. I’d watch my back if I were you. ---

I was in a real bind, so I called American & Import Auto. Needed a part pulled from a car, and usually, that takes a day or two. But they got it done in hours—no waiting. I paid online, and they even set the part aside for me to pick up after hours. Since it was the holidays and they were closed until January 2nd, that extra effort meant a lot. That’s how you run a business—putting the customer first. Thanks, guys. I’ll be back. ---

We’ve been coming to American & Import for years, and they never let us down. The staff is always friendly, and they’ve got a solid selection of quality used parts. When we need something, they usually have it ready fast—no waiting around. Honestly, they’re the best auto parts salvage spot in town. We’ve sent a lot of business their way over the years, and they’ve always made it easy. One family-owned shop to another, we really appreciate the help. Thanks for everything! —Jack, Byrider of Colorado Springs ---

This place is solid for parts. I ordered a front differential over the phone, paid upfront so they could pull it from a car. When I went to grab it, I had them double-check my old diff to make sure the gear ratio matched. Turns out, I’d given them the wrong number—my mistake. But instead of just saying “tough luck,” they opened up the new diff to confirm it wasn’t the right one, then refunded my money. No hassle, no attitude. Just professional, fair service. I’ll be back, and I’d tell anyone else to go there too.
