Fisher Auto Parts at 5736 Dupont Pkwy, Smyrna, DE 19977
Fisher Auto Parts is a self-service auto salvage yard in Smyrna, Delaware. Open since 1981, it lets customers find and remove their own parts from salvaged vehicles. The yard carries a wide range of used auto parts—engines, transmissions, body panels, interior components, and mechanical parts—from a changing selection of junked cars.
Unlike auto parts stores, Fisher Auto Parts gives direct access to the vehicles themselves. Customers buy parts by the pound, not by the part’s original value. The yard also takes scrap metal for recycling, paying customers by weight for old car parts or metal debris. While the business doesn’t advertise buying junk cars, it may take vehicles in certain conditions—check with them directly if you have a car to sell.
Services & What to Expect
Fisher Auto Parts is a self-service u-pull-it yard. Customers handle the part retrieval themselves. Here’s what you need to know:
- Browse the inventory: The yard has a mix of partially dismantled and intact salvaged vehicles. Parts are grouped by make, model, and year, but there’s no digital catalog. You’ll need to search manually.
- Select and remove parts: Basic tools like wrenches, sockets, and pry bars are usually on-site. You’ll disassemble and take the parts you need. Bring your own tools if you need something specific.
- Pay by the pound: Access to the yard costs a per-pound fee. You pay for the weight of the part you remove, not its original value. This keeps costs low and encourages responsible part removal.
- Sell scrap metal: The yard buys scrap metal by weight. Bring old car parts, metal debris, or other scrap to earn cash. This is a good way to clear out unwanted metal from garages or workshops.
Fisher Auto Parts doesn’t explicitly buy junk cars, but like many salvage yards, it may take vehicles in certain conditions. If you have a car to sell, call ahead or check our cash for junk cars page for local options.
The yard is designed for hands-on part retrieval. Staff are available to answer questions but won’t do the work for you. No appointments are needed—just show up during operating hours.
