Services & What to Expect
O'Neal's offers two main services: self-service auto parts and scrap metal recycling. For parts, customers search through salvaged vehicles for components like engines, transmissions, body panels, bumpers, and interior parts. Basic tools are usually available for rent or purchase on-site if needed. The yard doesn’t remove parts for customers—you handle the extraction yourself.
The scrap metal recycling service accepts old cars, appliances, and other metal items. Customers bring in their loads, and staff process the materials. Many reviews mention the team helps with unloading and offers tips on getting the most value from scrap. The yard follows standard recycling practices for proper disposal.
While O'Neal's focuses on self-service, they may take junk vehicles for recycling. They don’t advertise cash-for-cars, so call ahead at (765) 349-2900 to check availability. For other junk car removal options, see our local listings .
Since it’s self-service, you’re responsible for finding and removing parts. Staff answer questions and provide basic help but don’t do the work for you. Prices are marked on vehicles or available upon request.
