Overview

JAG Salvage - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

JAG Salvage is a self-service auto salvage yard in Woonsocket where customers pull their own parts from junked vehicles. You find what you need, remove it yourself, and pay by the pound. It’s a go-to spot for DIY mechanics, car owners doing repairs, and anyone hunting for affordable used auto parts. The yard also handles vehicle disposal, though they don’t buy junk cars outright. If you need to get rid of an old vehicle, check out local cash for junk cars services in the area for quotes and removal.

Services & What to Expect

JAG Salvage is a no-frills self-service salvage yard. You enter, find the parts you need, and remove them yourself. Payment is based on the weight of what you take. The yard doesn’t offer part searches or pre-pulled components—you’re on your own to locate and remove parts.

What You Can Find

The yard stocks end-of-life vehicles—cars, trucks, and SUVs. Common parts available include:

  • Engines and transmissions
  • Body panels (doors, hoods, fenders)
  • Interior parts (seats, dashboards, trim)
  • Suspension and drivetrain (axles, control arms, brakes)
  • Electrical components (wiring, sensors, lights)
  • Exhaust systems and mufflers
Inventory changes daily as vehicles come and go. Some cars are partially dismantled, while others are still intact.

How Self-Service Works

Here’s how it works at JAG Salvage:

  1. Show up during open hours (closed Sundays).
  2. Enter the yard—no appointment needed, but bring your own tools.
  3. Search for the vehicle with the parts you need. Cars aren’t organized by make or model.
  4. Remove the parts using your tools. No help is provided.
  5. Weigh your parts at the scale and pay by the pound. Cash is usually the only payment accepted.
  6. Leave with your parts. A trailer or truck helps with transport.

Note: You pay for the weight of what you take, not by the part.

The yard is a working salvage operation, so wear sturdy shoes and watch for sharp metal, broken glass, and heavy parts.

Walked in, found every part I needed in one trip, and the staff actually knew what they were talking about. No running around to three different places, no guessing games. Just straightforward help. That’s all I ask for. ---

Saved me $427 on a hard-to-find part, but they messed up the delivery. Still, the people on the phone were way more patient than any other junkyard I’ve dealt with—no rushing me off, no attitude. That alone made up for the hassle. ---

Dude, the owner of this place is straight-up the rudest person I’ve ever met. I just wanted to snap a quick pic of a car he had for sale—you know, to show my wife I was serious about adding it to my collection—and he lost his mind over it. Started yelling, acting like I was trying to steal the thing. No way I’m ever going back there. What a waste of time. ---

Ordered a BMW engine, had it shipped to Florida, and the whole process was smooth as butter. Got a killer deal on top of it. The people running the place were sharp, no nonsense, and made it easy. If you need auto parts, give them a shout—you won’t regret it. ---

First order was great: the door was in perfect shape, and the owners were super easy to work with—patient, friendly, no pushy sales stuff. Then I had to go back for a panel I didn’t realize wasn’t included with the door. Ordered it, picked it up, and it was a total mess—dented, beat up. Oh, and the $75 panel? Didn’t come with the door handle or controls. Had to drop another $25 for a *broken* handle. The owner even asked me if my old handle was broken before selling me a busted one. I had no clue what to look for, and it feels like they took advantage of that. Looking at other reviews, seems like they’ve got a habit of fighting back against bad feedback, but hey, the truth is what it is.
