B&R Auto Wrecking

B&R Auto Wrecking - Portland, Oregon

B&R Auto Wrecking is a self-service auto salvage yard in Portland. Customers can find used car parts, scrap metal, and other automotive components here. The yard runs on a u-pull-it model, meaning you browse, locate, and remove parts yourself with your own tools. They also take in junk cars for recycling and parts recovery, though they don’t offer cash-for-cars deals directly.

The yard is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and closed on weekends.

Services & What to Expect

B&R Auto Wrecking is a no-frills salvage yard focused on parts recovery and vehicle recycling. Customers come here to:

• Find used car parts for repairs or restoration
• Remove parts themselves (self-service only)
• Recycle old vehicles or scrap metal

The yard doesn’t provide professional part removal. You’ll need to bring your own tools—bolt cutters, wrenches, and a way to haul parts away. Some customers use air chisels or angle grinders to speed up the process.

If you’re looking to get rid of an old car, B&R takes vehicles for recycling. They don’t pay cash for junk cars, so if you want to sell yours, check other local services for better offers.

What Parts Are Available?

The inventory includes parts from domestic and foreign vehicles, though selection depends on recent salvage arrivals. You’ll typically find:

• Engines and transmissions (domestic and import)
• Body panels (doors, hoods, fenders, bumpers)
• Interior parts (seats, dashboards, trim)
• Suspension and drivetrain components (control arms, axles, differentials)
• Electrical parts (starters, alternators, wiring harnesses)
• Braking system parts (calipers, rotors, master cylinders)

There’s no online parts catalog, so you’ll need to visit in person to see what’s available. Parts are sold as-is with no guarantees. Prices depend on condition and demand.

How Self-Service Works

The u-pull-it process at B&R is straightforward:

1. Visit during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM). The gate is locked outside these times.
2. Find the part you need. Vehicles are grouped by make and model, but signs may be limited. Staff can point you in the right direction if needed.
3. Remove the part yourself. Bring the right tools—some parts require cutting or welding.
4. Pay for the part at the office before leaving.
5. Clean up your work area to avoid extra charges.

The yard doesn’t provide tools, storage, or help with removal. You’re responsible for your own safety and cleanup.
