What to Find and How It Works

Dakota Wrecking & Salvage is a self-service yard. You pick out and remove parts on your own. The inventory includes used auto parts from cars, trucks, and SUVs—domestic and foreign makes. You’ll find engines, transmissions, body panels, bumpers, doors, fenders, seats, dashboards, and more.

The yard has basic tools like wrenches and jacks for customers to use. Bring your own safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection, as these aren’t provided. The staff doesn’t remove parts for you, so you’ll need to handle the work yourself.

Beyond auto parts, the yard sells scrap metal and recyclable materials. If you have an old vehicle to get rid of, they may take it for scrap. For more options on selling a junk car, check out our cash for junk cars page.
