Overview

Marion Iron Co at 4000 3rd Ave, Marion, IA 52302

Marion Iron Co is a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal dealer at 4000 3rd Ave in Marion. The business has been in the same spot since the early 1900s, focusing on used auto parts for repairs and restorations, along with scrap metal recycling. Customers can browse the yard themselves to find parts for cars, trucks, and SUVs—engines, transmissions, body panels, and mechanical components. The yard also dismantles vehicles and sells scrap metal at competitive prices. It serves individuals and businesses across the Midwest, offering affordable parts and scrap materials.

Services & What to Expect

Marion Iron Co is a self-service salvage yard, meaning customers search for parts on their own during business hours. The yard holds a large stock of used auto parts from domestic and foreign vehicles, including:

  • Engines and transmissions
  • Body panels and frames
  • Suspension and drivetrain parts
  • Electrical systems and wiring
  • Interior pieces (seats, dashboards, door panels)

The business also buys scrap metal—steel, aluminum, copper, and other nonferrous metals—from old cars, appliances, or metal scraps. Tools are available on-site for part removal, but customers often bring their own.

If you have an old vehicle to get rid of, Marion Iron Co may buy it for scrap. For a quicker sale, check out our network of buyers , which often pays more and works faster.

The yard doesn’t offer professional part removal, so customers must locate and remove parts themselves. Staff can answer questions but don’t assist with hands-on removal.

Name’s Karl Lorenz—yeah, the same one from that old news service in Afghanistan. Anyway, I drive a rig for an interstate trucking company that moves scrap between yards and foundries. This place? Hands down the best I’ve ever worked with. Don’t get me wrong, most scrap yards are decent, but this one’s in a league of its own. Funny thing—I noticed they were loading me with what looked like a brand-new CAT crane. The operator? Absolute pro, moved that thing like a conductor leading an orchestra. Turns out, the "new" crane was actually five years old. I’ve seen cranes fresh off the lot that didn’t look half as good. Later found out Marion Iron bought it *just* for this guy—he’s the only one allowed to run it. That’s the kind of care and pride you don’t see everywhere. This place has *soul*. ---

I’m done looking anywhere else for metal. Ultra Scrap wanted me to toss my good cast in with shred, and the other place in town never updates their prices. But this yard? They’ve got new metal *and* scrap, and they’ll cut, fabricate, and even deliver if you need it. That’s a game-changer. Unless they vanish overnight, I’m not going anywhere else. ---

I run a tire and rim shop, and I’ve dealt with this business more times than I can count. Every single time, it’s been smooth—professional, friendly, and no nonsense. The crew’s got great attitudes, and other local shops swear by them too. Even their scrapyard is cleaner and better organized than most. If you need metal or parts, these are the people to call. ---

Not here for scrap—just needed metal for a job. These guys are solid. They’ll cut material on the spot, their stock’s decent, and they’ve even fabricated stuff for me before. Delivery’s good too, especially for long pieces. If you’re working with metal, give them a shot. ---

Need metal? This is the spot. Got 304 stainless for cheap—cheaper than I’ve seen anywhere else. Pretty sure they do fabrication too. If you’re in the market, don’t overthink it. Just go here.
