Quick Answer

Quick Answer Ames?

If you are hunting used parts in Ames, start near the south and southeast fringe of Ames, close to the highway junctions—that is where the highest density of salvage yards sits. Hours vary, and some are cash-only at the gate. Freeze-thaw cycles crack exhaust flanges and stress wheel bearings. Spin rotors and tap on any cast iron parts to check for hidden fractures.
