Services & What to Expect

ESDM Auto Parts is a self-service salvage yard where customers find and remove their own parts. The business doesn’t offer part cleaning, testing, or installation—just direct access to salvaged vehicles. Customers should:

  • Search for parts by walking through the yard
  • Remove parts using their own tools (or tools available on-site)
  • Pay by weight or per item, depending on the policy
  • Load parts into their own vehicle for transport

Parts are sold "as-is" without warranties. Common items in stock include:

  • Engines and transmissions
  • Drivetrain parts (axles, differentials, driveshafts)
  • Electrical components (alternators, starters, batteries)
  • Suspension and steering parts (control arms, ball joints)
  • Body panels and interior trim
  • Brake system parts (calipers, rotors, brake pads)

While the yard doesn’t advertise vehicle dismantling or scrap metal services, they may accept junk cars for parts. For cash offers on old vehicles, check with the yard directly or look at local junk car buyers . Unlike auto parts stores, ESDM Auto Parts doesn’t have an online catalog. Customers must visit in person to check part availability. The self-service model works best for DIYers or those comfortable searching for their own parts.

Took a week just to get parts I already paid for, and now they won’t even answer my calls. What a joke. ---

Dude, this guy gave me a hard time because I bought something from eBay first. Like, what’s the big deal? I just wanted to return it, but he acted like I personally offended him. ---

Got exactly what I needed—a car door in the right color, delivered on time, no hassle. The corner light was even in perfect shape. If more places ran their business like this, I’d never have to complain about anything. ---

Elmer and his team are the real deal. They always go out of their way to help, and the customers there are just as friendly. Every time I walk in, I leave happy. ---
