Overview

Pick Your Part - Charleston - North Charleston, SC

Pick Your Part - Charleston is a self-service auto salvage yard in North Charleston. Customers can browse and buy used auto parts from a large selection of salvaged vehicles. The yard runs on a "u-pull-it" model—you pay a small entry fee, find your part, and remove it yourself.

This is a budget-friendly option for car owners, mechanics, and DIYers looking for affordable parts instead of new ones. The yard is open six days a week, with longer hours on weekdays and shorter hours on weekends and Sundays.

Services & What to Expect

Pick Your Part - Charleston offers a simple self-service experience for finding and removing auto parts. Here’s how it works:

How the Self-Service Process Works

The steps are straightforward:

  1. Pay the entry fee: A small fee (usually around $10) lets you into the yard to browse.
  2. Find your part: Search the inventory or walk the lot to locate the part you need. The yard has a mix of domestic and foreign cars, trucks, and SUVs.
  3. Remove the part: Once you’ve found it, take it off yourself. Tools are available for rent or purchase if you don’t have your own.
  4. Pay for the part: The cost depends on the part’s condition and demand. Prices are lower than new parts, making it a good deal.

The yard doesn’t remove parts for you, so bring tools and be ready to do the work yourself.

Inventory & Vehicle Selection

The yard stocks a variety of vehicles, mostly from the 1990s to recent models. You’ll typically find:

  • Domestic brands (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, etc.)
  • Foreign brands (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc.)
  • Trucks and SUVs (full-size and compact)
  • Parts for engines, transmissions, suspension, interiors, and exteriors

While the yard doesn’t specialize in rare or classic cars, you might find parts for older models depending on recent salvage arrivals.

I’ve been going here for years, and it’s always been solid. I was hunting for a part online, saw the price, and nearly fell out of my chair—it was $20 cheaper than I expected. No joke, this place has come through for me more times than I can count. ---

First off, they didn’t just dump dirt everywhere like most junkyards—they laid down lava rock. So if you’re planning to crawl around under cars, bring some floor mats or a cargo liner, or you’ll be picking rocks out of your knees for a week. Also, if you print out a list of cars you’re looking for, don’t be surprised if half of them aren’t even there by the time you show up. I had five Jeeps on my list, and only one was still in the lot. Worth a shot, but don’t get your hopes up too high. ---

Honestly, the place isn’t terrible, but don’t expect to bring stuff back if it doesn’t work. Even if you come back the next day and the part’s busted or doesn’t fit, they won’t take it unless you paid for the extra warranty upfront. It’s kind of a bummer, but at least they’re upfront about it—just don’t assume you can return anything without that warranty. ---

Let me put it this way—this place has saved me money more times than I can count. Every time I’ve come here, I’ve walked out happy with what I got. The 90-day warranty on most parts is a huge plus, and you can check prices online before you even step foot in the door. Some parts are priced like new, but others? Absolute steals. I’ve had one part die on me right in the parking lot—walked back in, no questions asked, got my money back. I usually spring for the warranty just in case. There was this one window switch I bought—worked fine for a week, then quit. Brought it back, got a full refund. Pro tip: when you’re browsing online, check the date the car was towed in. If it’s only been a week, chances are good the part you need is still there. But if it’s been three or four weeks? Forget it—they’ve probably already stripped it clean. ---

Look, I’m not one to rant, but this place is a scam—and I almost fell for it. You call, and all you get is a recording telling you to check their website. So I did. It said they had the part I needed—a rear bumper and step bars. Being the sucker I am, I took my first day off in months, drove down there, and the lady pulls up the car in their system. Gives me a quote, I pay the entry fee (which, by the way, is mandatory just to walk out there), grab my tools, and head to the car. Guess what? Stripped clean. Not a single part left. They’ll tell you they’ve got what you need, charge you to get in, and laugh all the way to the bank while you’re left standing there empty-handed. Why lie? Just be honest—it’s not that hard.
