Overview

Peninsula Scrap & Salvage Co - Soldotna, Alaska

Peninsula Scrap & Salvage Co is a self-service auto salvage yard in Soldotna. Customers can find used car parts, scrap metal, and other automotive components here. The yard operates on a self-service model, so visitors browse, locate, and remove parts themselves. It’s a good option for mechanics, DIYers, and anyone looking for affordable car parts in the Kenai Peninsula area.

Services & What to Expect

Peninsula Scrap & Salvage Co handles auto salvage and scrap metal. For auto parts, the yard carries engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components. Staff don’t help with part identification or removal, so customers should know what they need and bring their own tools.

The yard also takes scrap metal, including steel, aluminum, and copper. Pricing depends on weight and current market rates. If you have an old vehicle to dispose of, check with the yard about scrap metal removal. For cash offers on junk cars, local cash-for-cars services may be a better choice.

The yard doesn’t list parts online, so call ahead or check hours before visiting. Payment is cash only, and some basic tools (like bolt cutters) may be available for rent on-site for a fee.

Hands down the easiest spot to unload scrap metal. No waiting around, no hassle—just pull up, drop it off, and get out. They’ve got the system down, and it shows. ---

Called Peninsula Scrap & Salvage because the name sounded local, but wow, what a waste of time. The woman who answered the phone acted like I was bothering her just by asking basic questions. Short, snappy answers, zero patience—honestly felt like she wanted me off the phone ASAP. If you’re looking for a place that’ll drain your good mood faster than a flat tire on the highway, this is it. ---

If you’ve got a trunk full of crushed cans or scrap metal, this is the place to go. They take it all, no fuss, and the guys running it don’t overcomplicate things. Simple, quick, and no weird surprises.
