Mayberry Auto Sales & Salvage - Fort Smith, Arkansas
Mayberry Auto Sales & Salvage is a self-service auto salvage yard in Fort Smith. Customers browse the lot, find their own parts, and buy what they need without help. It’s a straightforward option for DIYers, car owners needing repairs, or anyone looking for affordable used auto parts. The business also sells whole vehicles, but parts recovery is the main focus.
Services & What to Expect
Mayberry Auto Sales & Salvage is built for customers who want to find parts on their own. The yard doesn’t offer part lookup help or assistance locating components—you’ll need to search the lot yourself. Once you find a part, you can buy it directly. The business also sells used vehicles, but that’s a smaller part of what they do.
How Self-Service Salvage Works
The process is simple: show up during business hours, walk the lot to find your part, and pay at the office. Bring your own tools if you plan to remove parts on-site—the yard doesn’t provide them or offer part removal services. Prices are usually marked on parts or available when you ask.
What Parts Are Available?
The inventory changes daily as vehicles come and go. You’ll typically find:
Engines and transmissions
Body panels (doors, hoods, fenders)
Interior parts (seats, dashboards, trim)
Suspension and drivetrain components (control arms, axles, differentials)
Electrical parts (wiring harnesses, sensors, lights)
Braking system parts (calipers, rotors, master cylinders)
Common parts are usually in stock, but older or rare models may have limited options.

Used Vehicle Sales
Mayberry Auto Sales & Salvage also sells used cars, though the selection is small. These are often older, high-mileage vehicles that may need work. Pricing and availability change often, and test drives aren’t always possible. If you’re interested in buying a car, check details with the yard first.
Getting Rid of a Junk Car
If you’ve got an old car taking up space, Mayberry Auto Sales & Salvage might take it—but they don’t advertise junk car removal. For a guaranteed cash offer and easy pickup, try a specialized junk car buyer instead.

Bought a Porsche 356 and a Karmann Ghia from "Mayberry" in Fort Smith, Arkansas, back in January 2025—paid $21,000 upfront. The cars were supposed to ship to Germany, but they never showed up. Turns out, the whole thing was a scam. And the "Freight Forwarders Shipping Company" they used? Just as shady. My money’s gone, and I’ve got nothing to show for it.

Made a deal with these people for a car, signed everything, and then—radio silence. No replies, no updates, nothing. Don’t waste your time or money. This is a scam, plain and simple.

Tried to buy a car from this guy online. First call, he told me exactly what I wanted to hear. Then I asked for photos, and he just hung up. Never answered my calls again. Classic bait-and-switch.

Don’t buy anything from this company. They’re a scam. I ordered a truck canopy for $1,300, and a week later, I’ve got no proof of purchase, no tracking number—nothing. Worse, I called around Fort Smith, and the place hasn’t even been in business for five years. Absolute scam.

Mayberry’s "gold and silver" place? It’s just a junkyard with overpriced auto parts. Bought a used motor for $1,300, and the guy lied about how long it’d take—said three days, took ten. Meant I was stuck without a car for months, missing work because my mechanic had to push back my repair. Oh, and the $150 core charge refund he promised? Never happened. Then he ordered the wrong window motor for my car—left side instead of right—and when I tried to return it, he refused, acting like it was my fault. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. The guy’s a jerk, and his "business" is a mess. Wish I’d known before I got screwed.
