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.
