Danny’s Used Auto Parts at 14201 Schaefer Hwy, Detroit, MI 48227

Danny’s Used Auto Parts is a self-service salvage yard in Detroit where you can find and remove used car parts from junked vehicles. The yard runs on a "u-pull-it" model—you pick the part, take it off yourself, and pay before you leave. Danny Harris has owned the business for years, offering a solid selection of parts from cars, trucks, and SUVs at fair prices. The staff keeps things simple and helpful.

What to Know Before You Visit

This is a self-service yard, so you’ll handle finding and removing parts on your own. The lot has a mix of junked vehicles, with parts ranging from engines and transmissions to body panels, interior pieces, and mechanical components. The yard doesn’t disassemble parts for you—you take what you need yourself.

Before you go, make sure you have:

A way to haul parts home, like a truck or trailer
Basic tools (or check if the yard has equipment to borrow)
A good idea of the part you need or your vehicle’s VIN for reference
Cash or a payment method, since some parts require upfront payment

Prices depend on the vehicle and part condition. Some parts are sold by the pound, while others have set prices. The yard doesn’t guarantee parts work, so check them over before you take them.

Customers like the yard’s no-nonsense approach. Staff have been known to hold parts after hours or lend tools when someone’s in a tight spot. If you grab the wrong part by mistake, they’ll take it back—no questions asked.
