Hooper's Used Auto Parts

Hooper's Used Auto Parts - Dallas, NC

Hooper's Used Auto Parts is a self-service auto salvage yard in Dallas, North Carolina. Customers can find used car parts, scrap metal, and other automotive components here. The yard runs on a "u-pull-it" model—you locate and remove the parts yourself. It’s a common spot for DIY mechanics, car owners needing repairs, and anyone looking for affordable alternatives to new parts. The business has been around for years, with a steady flow of vehicles coming in for dismantling. You bring your own tools and pay by the pound for the parts you take. The yard also takes in junk cars for scrap but doesn’t buy vehicles for resale.

Services & What to Expect

Hooper's is a self-service salvage yard, meaning you’re responsible for finding and removing parts. The yard has a mix of vehicles—cars, trucks, and SUVs—in various stages of disassembly. Parts range from engines and transmissions to body panels, interior pieces, and electrical components. Don’t expect professional disassembly or cleaned parts—you’ll need to prep them before installation.

How Self-Service Works

• Bring your own tools. The yard doesn’t provide any, so you’ll need wrenches, sockets, or whatever else is required for the job.
• Find parts yourself. Vehicles are grouped by make and model, but you’ll have to search for what you need.
• Pay by the pound. Pricing is based on the weight of the parts you take, not individual components.
• Parts are sold as-is. Some may need cleaning or minor repairs before you can use them.
• Drop off junk cars. The yard accepts scrap vehicles but doesn’t buy cars for resale. For selling a junk car, check out our cash for junk cars page .

What Parts Are Available?

Inventory changes often as new vehicles are brought in. Common parts include:

• Engines and transmissions (domestic and foreign)
• Body panels (doors, fenders, hoods, bumpers)
• Interior parts (seats, dashboards, consoles)
• Suspension and steering (control arms, ball joints, tie rods)
• Braking systems (calipers, rotors, brake pads)
• Electrical components (starters, alternators, wiring harnesses)
• Exhaust systems (headers, catalytic converters, mufflers)

The yard doesn’t specialize in rare or classic car parts, but you might find components from older vehicles depending on recent acquisitions.
