Overview

Market Street Used Auto Parts - Houston, Texas

Market Street Used Auto Parts is a Houston auto salvage yard where customers can find and remove used car parts themselves. The yard runs on a "u-pull-it" system: you locate the parts you need, take them off the vehicle, and pay by weight. They stock a large selection of cars, trucks, and SUVs from different makes and years, offering budget-friendly alternatives to new parts. The yard is open Monday through Saturday, with longer hours on weekdays.

What to Know Before You Visit

Market Street Used Auto Parts is a self-service salvage yard. Here’s what you need to know:

  • You handle the work: Find the parts you need, remove them yourself, and pay at the counter. No appointment is needed.
  • Wide vehicle selection: The yard has sedans, trucks, SUVs, and older models, including parts that may be hard to find elsewhere.
  • Pay by weight: Pricing is based on the weight of the parts you take. There’s a minimum charge per visit to keep things fair.
  • Tools and help available: Basic tools like wrenches and pry bars are on-site for customers to use. Staff can point you to the right vehicle or part if you’re unsure.
  • No extra core fees: Unlike some yards, they don’t charge for engine or transmission cores.

Before you go, bring:

  • A list of the parts you need (VIN or part numbers help)
  • Your own tools if you prefer (though yard tools are available)
  • Gloves and safety gear (some vehicles may have sharp edges or fluids)
  • A way to haul parts (some are heavy or bulky)

I called Miguel at this junkyard looking for a part, and it was the biggest waste of time ever. The whole experience was awful—no way I’m ever going back. APlus in Pasadena is where I’ll be from now on. ---

They didn’t just ignore my calls—they hung up on me *ten times*. That’s not bad service, that’s just rude. I’m done with them. ---

Even if they don’t have the part you need, they’ll usually track it down for you. It’s a solid spot for used car and truck parts. ---

This place is a joke. They stopped caring about anything past a certain year, so why even call yourself a used auto parts place? Total waste of time.

Honestly, this salvage yard is way better than most I’ve been to. The guy had my part out in under five minutes, let me test it on my car before buying, and gave me a fair price. I was in and out in 15 minutes flat. If you need parts, this is the place to go. ---
