How Self-Service Works
You enter the yard, find the part you need, and remove it yourself. Basic tools like wrenches, sockets, and pry bars are available for rent. The yard doesn’t disassemble parts for you, so they must be removable by hand or with standard tools. Payment is based on the part’s weight at the exit gate.

The yard is open seven days a week, with longer hours on weekends. On Saturdays, it closes at 2 PM, so plan to arrive early. Tools and safety gear are on-site, but bring gloves and closed-toe shoes.
