Medina Auto Parts is a self-service auto salvage yard in Albuquerque where customers can find used car parts at low prices. The yard lets you browse the inventory yourself, locate the parts you need, and either remove them or have staff pull them for a fee. It’s a common spot for DIY mechanics, car owners needing repairs, and anyone looking for affordable alternatives to new parts.
The yard is at 2800 Broadway Boulevard Southeast and is open Monday through Saturday, with shorter hours on weekends.
Services & What to Expect
Medina Auto Parts is a self-service salvage yard, meaning you handle the search and selection of parts yourself. The yard has a large stock of used parts from different makes and models, including engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components. You can walk through the lot, check out the vehicles, and pull the parts you need.
How Self-Service Works
The process is simple: come in during business hours, find the part you need, and either remove it yourself or ask staff for help. If you take the part yourself, you pay only for the part. If you want the yard to remove it, there’s an extra labor fee. Tools are available on-site if you need them.
What to Bring
A clear idea of the part you need, including the make, model, year, and part number if possible.
Basic tools, if you plan to remove the part yourself.
Cash or a credit/debit card for payment.
Transportation to carry parts away, since some are heavy or bulky.

If you’re looking for a junkyard that actually delivers, stop searching—this is the place. I drove all the way from Colorado just to grab a 2UZ-FE engine for my first-gen Sequoia, and it was worth every mile. These guys didn’t just hand me some beat-up part; the engine was clean, ran like new, and even had solid compression across all cylinders. No leaks, no nonsense. They even helped me load the thing into my Honda Fit—yeah, my "mini truck"—without making me feel like an idiot for trying. Five stars isn’t enough for this kind of service. Call them before you waste time elsewhere.

Skip this place if you don’t want surprises. They’ll take your money up front for a job that hasn’t even started, then act like you’re the one being difficult when you ask about extra fees. Not worth the hassle.

Medina Auto Parts is where I go for parts, and I always leave happy. The prices beat anywhere else in town, and the stuff they sell is solid—no junk, no excuses. The staff moves fast, answers questions without the runaround, and actually knows what they’re talking about. I’ve been back multiple times, and I’ll keep coming back. Simple as that.

I’ve been in and out of this yard at least seven times over the past few months, hunting down parts for different cars. Last time, I walked in asking about a specific vehicle I’d already spotted in the lot. The guy at the counter didn’t even check the system—just flat-out told me, *"We don’t have any cars like that."* Meanwhile, it was sitting right there in plain sight. Save your time and go somewhere else.
