Services & What to Expect
EMR Philadelphia - Atlas is a u-pull-it yard, meaning you enter, find the parts you need, and remove them on your own. The yard doesn’t offer professional part removal, so you must bring your own tools. A scale and ticketing system handles scrap metal transactions, with cash-out available at an on-site ATM.
What You Can Find
- Used auto parts for domestic and foreign vehicles, including engines and transmissions (manual and automatic)
- Body panels like doors, fenders, hoods, bumpers, and quarter panels
- Interior components such as seats, dashboards, and trim pieces
- Suspension and drivetrain parts (control arms, struts, axles)
- Electrical components (starters, alternators, wiring harnesses)
- Exhaust systems and catalytic converters
- Braking system parts (calipers, rotors, brake pads)
How Self-Service Works
The process is simple: enter the yard, locate the vehicle with the part you need, and remove it with your tools. For scrap metal, weigh in at the scale, dump your materials, and weigh out to get a ticket. Cash out at the ATM using the ticket. The yard doesn’t offer part searches by VIN or online inventory, so you’ll need to browse in person.
What to Bring
- Your own tools (sockets, wrenches, pry bars, etc.)
- Gloves and safety gear (the yard isn’t responsible for injuries)
- A vehicle to haul parts (some components are heavy or bulky)
- Cash or a debit card (for ATM cash-out)
Scrap Metal Recycling
The yard takes non-ferrous and ferrous scrap metal, including copper, aluminum, brass, and steel. You’ll need to separate metals by type for accurate weighing. The scale operator will guide you through the process, and you’ll get a ticket for cash-out at the ATM. Prices for scrap metal change with market conditions.

Others mention inconsistencies in ticket accuracy or staff attitudes. The yard is generally described as clean and well-organized, with a straightforward process for those familiar with u-pull-it operations.
