Services & What to Expect
Green Metals Inc is a self-service salvage yard, meaning you handle finding, removing, and paying for parts yourself. Staff are on-site to process payments and answer basic questions but don’t help with locating or extracting parts.
What You Can Find
- Used auto parts from domestic and foreign vehicles, including engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components.
- Scrap metal for recycling, such as copper, aluminum, steel, and other non-ferrous metals.
- Junk vehicles in various conditions, some with salvage titles.
- Rare or hard-to-find parts, though what’s available depends on recent vehicle drop-offs.
How Self-Service Works
You enter the yard, find the part or material you need, and remove it yourself. Tools may be available for rent or purchase, but bringing your own is a good idea. Payment is handled at the front counter, where staff check the part and finalize the sale. No appointments are needed, but weekends are busier.
What to Bring
- A vehicle or trailer to haul parts (the yard doesn’t assist with loading).
- Basic tools (wrenches, sockets, pry bars) if you need to disassemble anything.
- Cash or a debit/credit card (the website doesn’t list accepted payment methods, so call ahead to confirm).
- ID if buying high-value parts (some yards require it).
Customer Experience Notes
Reviews on Google show mixed feedback. Some customers report long wait times, especially when parts need loading or staff are unavailable. Others mention poor communication, like unanswered calls or an unmanned office. The yard’s phone number has been flagged by Verizon for restrictions, which may affect callers. Truckers and those making large pickups have noted delays due to slow loading.
"The counter guy was fine, but the person loading my parts kept disappearing—probably on her phone—while I waited. A 30-minute trip turned into over an hour." — Jim Cato
Some reviewers also mention debris near the property and security concerns. Still, the yard stays open, focusing on scrap metal recycling and part sales.
