Catalina Auto Recycling at 4811 E Cindrich St, Tucson, AZ

Catalina Auto Recycling is a self-service auto salvage yard in Tucson at 4811 E Cindrich St. They sell used auto parts, scrap metal, and salvaged materials from domestic and foreign vehicles. Customers can browse the yard on their own to find parts for repairs or projects without needing an appointment. The yard also offers towing and scrap car removal for those looking to get rid of an old vehicle.

Unlike auto parts stores, Catalina Auto Recycling lets customers search for parts themselves. You can walk through the yard, pick what you need, and pay at the front office. They stock engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior parts, along with scrap metal like aluminum, copper, steel, and iron—sold by the pound or in bulk. For bigger projects, they can help dismantle vehicles on-site.

Services & What to Expect

Catalina Auto Recycling is built for customers who want to find parts themselves. The yard runs on a self-service model, so you can walk in during open hours, search for what you need, and check out without much help from staff. No appointments are needed, and you can take your time browsing.

Self-Service Salvage Process

Finding parts here is simple:

1. Show up during business hours—no appointment needed.
2. Enter the yard and look for the part you need. Vehicles are grouped by make, model, and year, but you may need to search a bit.
3. Check the part to make sure it works for your needs. Basic tools are on-site if you need to take something apart.
4. Bring the part to the front office to pay. Prices are usually marked, but staff can confirm if you’re unsure.
5. Take the part with you. Some may need disassembly while you’re there.

Staff can help if you’re unsure about a part, but the yard works best when customers browse on their own.
