Overview

Moore's Auto Salvage - Rapid City, SD

Moore's Auto Salvage is a self-service auto salvage yard in Rapid City, South Dakota. Customers find and remove their own parts from the lot, paying by the pound for what they take. This "u-pull-it" model appeals to mechanics, DIYers, and car owners looking for affordable used parts. The yard also takes in junk cars for scrap, though they don’t actively promote cash-for-cars services. Located at 1761 Country Road, the yard operates on a no-frills basis, focusing on practical auto salvage for the Rapid City area.

Services & What to Expect

Moore’s Auto Salvage is a self-service yard—you find the part, remove it yourself, and pay by weight. Whether you need an engine, transmission, body panel, or interior component, you’ll locate it on the lot and take it apart using your own tools. The yard doesn’t provide tools, equipment, or part cleaning, so customers must be prepared to handle raw, used components. Inventory isn’t listed online, so you’ll need to visit in person to check availability. Popular makes and models are usually on hand, but stock depends on recent vehicle acquisitions. The yard also accepts junk cars for scrap metal, though this isn’t their main service. If you’re looking to get rid of an old vehicle, call ahead or check their website for current policies.

What to bring:

  • Tools for removal (wrenches, sockets, pry bars, etc.)
  • Gloves and safety gear (parts can be sharp or dirty)
  • Transport for the part (truck, trailer, or vehicle with space)
  • Payment (cash or card—confirm ahead)
  • Vehicle title or ownership proof if selling a junk car

Key things to know:

  • Staff don’t assist with part removal—it’s a self-service yard.
  • Heavier parts cost more since pricing is by the pound.
  • No refunds once a part is removed.
  • Cash and card payments are usually accepted, but call to confirm.
  • No warranties or guarantees on parts.

Honestly, I called every junkyard from here to Texas trying to find a rear drum for my ’68 Dodge dually—nobody had it. Then I called these guys, and *bam*, they did. The part was solid, just like they said, and I ended up grabbing a whole stack of other random bits for the truck while I was at it. There was a little mix-up at first, but Russ sorted it out fast and made sure everything was good. Won’t hesitate to order from them again. ---

Found a set of wheels for my ’61 Studebaker that *no one* had—called and searched online for 55 straight hours before I did. Russ packed them onto a tiny pallet and shipped them to my local Napa via freight, and when they arrived? Perfect condition. Shipping’s not their fastest thing, but honestly, who cares when the parts are this good? Just don’t expect instant answers—email works way better than calling. Patience pays off here.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Paid for parts on June 22. It’s now July 30. I’ve called so many times I’ve heard every excuse—bad weather, too busy, *“I’ll call you back in 10”* (spoiler: they never do). What kind of business operates like this? They *knew* I had a customer waiting, and they still dragged their feet. Now I’m stuck reporting this as fraud to PayPal because, surprise, no parts ever showed up. Would’ve rather just paid extra for the right part upfront than deal with this mess. ---

Ordered some car parts, paid the $200 upfront, and then… nothing. Two weeks go by. I call on Friday before Memorial Day weekend, and they swear it’ll ship Tuesday after the holiday. A week later? Still nothing. Call again last week—they promise it’ll go out *that day* and send tracking. Another week passes. No calls, no updates, no parts. I’ve tried three times today. Voicemail’s full, no one picks up. If I don’t see these parts in the next 24 hours, Visa’s fraud team is getting a call. Don’t waste your time here. ---

I *had* to leave one star, and even that feels too generous. Ordered parts for a ’55 Plymouth seven months ago. Four months later, I got three correct ones and one that was completely wrong. I’ve called Moore’s over a dozen times in the last three months—every single time, they’d say, *“It’s on the way.”* Now? No answer on the phone, no replies to emails. They straight-up took my money and vanished. If you deal with them, watch your back. ---
