MetalX at 2222 Coliseum Blvd W, Fort Wayne, IN 46808

MetalX is a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal recycling center at 2222 West Coliseum Boulevard in Fort Wayne. Since 1998, it’s served local drivers and contractors by letting customers pull their own used auto parts or sell scrap metal. The yard keeps parts from GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, and Toyota organized by make and model, making it easier to find what you need.

Services & What to Expect

MetalX offers two main services: self-service auto parts and scrap metal recycling. The salvage yard carries parts from major brands, including engines, transmissions, body panels, bumpers, and interior components. You’ll also find paint, coatings, and bodywork tools on-site.

Self-Service Salvage Process

MetalX runs on a self-service model—you locate, remove, and pay for parts yourself. Basic tools are available, but bring your own if you need something specific. Once you’ve got the part, take it to the payment area to check out. The yard doesn’t remove parts for you, so you’ll need to handle the work.

Scrap Metal Recycling

MetalX buys scrap metal like steel, aluminum, and copper. They accept loose or bundled materials but weigh different metals separately. Payment happens on the spot. Some customers have reported issues with scale accuracy, especially for large loads like pop cans.
