Jordan Scrap Inc at 7 41st St N, Birmingham, AL 35222
Jordan Scrap Inc is a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal dealer at 7 41st St N in Birmingham. Customers can browse, pick, and remove parts from salvaged vehicles on their own. The yard stocks used auto parts for all vehicle types—domestic and foreign cars, trucks, and SUVs—including engines, body panels, interior pieces, and mechanical components.
This is a self-service operation, not a parts store. You’ll need to bring your own tools, find the part yourself, and remove it on-site. The yard also handles scrap metal recycling but doesn’t offer part delivery or a formal buyback program.
Services & What to Expect
Jordan Scrap Inc is a self-service salvage yard. Here’s how it works:
How Self-Service Salvage Works
- Bring your tools. The yard doesn’t provide wrenches, jacks, or other equipment—you’ll need to supply your own.
- Find parts on your own. There’s no staff-assisted search. You’ll walk the yard to locate the vehicle with the part you need.
- Pay by weight. Pricing is based on the part’s weight, not a fixed price. You’ll weigh it at the yard’s scale before checkout.
- Remove parts yourself. Once you’ve picked and paid for a part, you take it off the vehicle. The yard doesn’t offer removal services.
What Parts Are Available?
The yard carries a broad range of used auto parts, though inventory changes as new vehicles come in. Common finds include:
- Engines and transmissions
- Body panels (doors, hoods, fenders, bumpers)
- Suspension (control arms, struts, shocks)
- Brakes (calipers, rotors, pads)
- Interior (seats, dashboards, door panels)
- Electrical (alternators, starters, wiring)
- Exhaust (headers, catalytic converters, mufflers)
- Drivetrain (differentials, axles, driveshafts)
The yard doesn’t specialize in rare or classic car parts, though older vehicles may turn up. Check parts carefully before buying—quality varies.
Other Services
Beyond self-service salvage, Jordan Scrap Inc may offer:
- Scrap metal recycling. They buy copper, aluminum, and steel by the pound at market rates.
- Possible welding/machining. Some salvage yards provide basic fabrication, but this isn’t confirmed. Call ahead to check.
If you’ve got an old car to get rid of, they may take it for scrap. For details on selling a junk vehicle, see our cash for junk cars page.
