Services & What to Expect
Fowler's Auto Wrecking Inc is a self-service salvage yard where customers find and remove their own parts. The inventory includes used components from cars, trucks, and buses, but there’s no online catalog—you’ll need to search the yard in person.

Once you find and remove a part, you pay at the office. The yard doesn’t offer part lookups by VIN or an online inventory, so you’ll need to check parts by sight.
What to Bring

- Basic hand tools (unless you plan to rent on-site)
