Services & What to Expect

Fisher Auto Parts is a self-service salvage yard where customers find and remove their own parts. The yard has a mix of totaled vehicles, scrap metal, and used auto components. Key services include:

• Self-service u-pull-it salvage: Customers enter with their own tools to locate and remove parts from donor vehicles. The yard rents or sells basic tools, but bringing your own is best. A valid driver’s license is required for entry.
• Pre-pulled parts: The retail counter sells parts already removed from vehicles, such as engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components. Prices depend on the part’s condition and vehicle model.
• Scrap metal recycling: The yard takes in scrap metal like vehicle shells and catalytic converters. Cash may be offered, but rates aren’t posted online.
• Vehicle disposal: Fisher Auto Parts may accept junk cars for recycling, though this isn’t heavily advertised. For cash offers, check local Dover junk car buyers for quotes.

The yard doesn’t offer professional part removal, so customers must handle extraction themselves or hire outside help. The website ( fisherautoparts.com ) has limited inventory details, so calling ahead at (302) 678-2870 is a good idea to check part availability before visiting.

How does self-service auto salvage work at Fisher Auto Parts?

Customers enter with their own tools to find and remove parts. Steps include:

1. Show a valid driver’s license at the entrance.

3. Remove the part using your tools (basic tools may be available for rent).
4. Pay at the counter (cash is often required for self-service parts).
5. Take the part with you (some yards require immediate removal).

Professional part removal isn’t offered—customers must handle extraction themselves.

Do I need to bring my own tools to Fisher Auto Parts?

While the yard may rent basic tools, bringing your own is a good idea. Common tools needed are wrenches, sockets, pry bars, and jack stands. Safety gear like gloves is also recommended, as salvage yards can be hazardous.

Are there any restrictions on what I can remove from the yard?

Typical rules at self-service yards include:

• No removal of airbags or other safety-critical parts (often illegal).
• No disassembling vehicles beyond what’s needed to remove the part.
• No taking parts marked as "sold" or "reserved."
• No removing parts from vehicles not designated for salvage.

Staff may check removed parts before payment. Always ask counter staff about restrictions before starting work.
