Erdman Auto Parts - Baltimore, Maryland
Erdman Auto Parts is a self-service auto salvage yard in Baltimore. Customers can browse and remove used auto parts from a large inventory of junked vehicles. The yard uses a "u-pull-it" model—you find the part, take it, and pay by the pound. It’s a go-to spot for DIY mechanics, car owners needing replacements, and those looking for affordable used parts. The yard also takes in vehicles for scrap or recycling but doesn’t advertise cash-for-cars deals.
Services & What to Expect
Erdman Auto Parts is a self-service yard, meaning you handle finding and removing parts on your own. Here’s what the yard offers:
- Self-service parts removal: You enter the yard, locate the vehicle with the part you need, and remove it yourself. Tools are available to rent or buy on-site.
- Pay-by-the-pound pricing: Instead of charging per part, the yard weighs what you take and bills you by weight. This keeps costs low if you only need a few small parts.
- Wide range of vehicles: The yard stocks cars, trucks, and SUVs from different makes and models, though inventory changes as new vehicles come in.
- Vehicle recycling: The yard accepts old cars for scrap but doesn’t list cash-for-cars pricing. If you’re selling a junk vehicle, check other local yards for cash offers.
The yard doesn’t have an online parts search, so you’ll need to visit in person to see what’s available. Staff can answer basic questions, but you’re responsible for finding and removing parts.
What to bring:
- A valid ID or driver’s license
- Tools for part removal (or rent them there)
- Gloves and safety gear (recommended)
- Cash or a card (depending on what they accept)
- A way to haul parts home (if needed)
What to leave at home:
- Weapons or illegal items
- Kids under 16 (some yards restrict minors for safety)
- Large trucks or trailers (unless you call ahead)
