Services & What to Expect
Muncy's Auto Recycle is a self-service yard. Customers search for parts from salvaged cars, trucks, and SUVs. The inventory includes engines, transmissions, body panels, interior parts (seats, dashboards, door panels), and mechanical parts (brakes, suspension, exhaust). You’ll need to bring your own tools to remove and haul parts.
The yard also takes scrap metal for recycling, including copper, aluminum, and steel. You can drop off old vehicles, appliances, or other metal items for cash or store credit. While Muncy's doesn’t advertise buying junk cars, they do dismantle and recycle them. If you have a junk car to sell, call ahead or check their cash for junk cars page for other local options.
Popular parts go fast, so arriving early improves your chances. Prices are listed per part or by the pound for scrap metal. The website (www.muncysautorecycling.com) has a parts catalog, but not everything is listed online. Call ahead or check the site before visiting.
The yard is organized by vehicle type and part category, with signs marking different sections. Staff are on-site to answer questions and process payments but don’t help with part removal. You must check part condition before buying—parts are sold "as-is."
