Services & What to Expect
Paul's Auto Yard is a self-service salvage yard. You’ll need to find and remove parts yourself—no professional disassembly or part testing is provided. Bring your own tools and be ready to inspect parts before buying. Common parts available include:
- Engines and transmissions
- Body panels (doors, hoods, fenders)
- Interior parts (seats, dashboards, trim)
- Suspension and drivetrain components
- Electrical parts (wiring harnesses, sensors)
Pricing depends on the part’s condition and demand. Payment is due at the time of removal, and the yard accepts cash and major credit cards. If you need to get rid of a junk car, Paul's will take vehicles for scrap. They don’t offer cash-for-cars deals, but they may pay based on the car’s weight and condition. Call ahead to check if they’ll accept your vehicle. The yard doesn’t provide tow services, so you’ll need to arrange your own transport for parts. Bring tools, gloves, and safety gear—there’s no indoor waiting area, so plan for outdoor conditions.
