Mobile Pick-A-Part is a self-service auto salvage yard in Mobile, Alabama. Customers can find used car parts at low prices by browsing the inventory and removing parts themselves. The yard follows a "you pull it, you buy it" model, meaning visitors locate and purchase parts without help from staff.

Services & What to Expect
Mobile Pick-A-Part is a self-service salvage yard. Customers search for and remove parts on their own. The yard doesn’t offer part removal services, so visitors must bring their own tools and handle the work themselves. Inventory includes parts from various vehicle makes and models, though what’s available changes with new salvage arrivals.
How Self-Service Works
- Browse the yard: Customers walk through rows of salvaged vehicles to find parts. Parts aren’t organized by make or model, so knowing your way around a car helps.
- Locate and remove parts: Once a part is found, customers take it off using their own tools. The yard has basic tools like wrenches and pry bars for rent, but most bring their own.
- Pay at the register: After removing a part, customers pay at the front office. Prices are set per part, and payment is due at purchase.
- No part guarantees: Since parts come from salvaged cars, Mobile Pick-A-Part doesn’t guarantee their condition or functionality. Buyers take all risk.
What to Bring
To make the most of your visit, bring:
- A list of parts needed, including the vehicle make, model, and year.
- Basic hand tools like wrenches, sockets, pry bars, and screwdrivers.
- Gloves and safety gear—parts can be sharp and greasy.
- A truck or trailer to haul heavy or bulky items like engines.
- Cash or a debit/credit card, as all major payment methods are accepted.
