Services & What to Expect
Pick Your Part - Grand Rapids is a self-service salvage yard, meaning customers search for and select their own parts.

- Interior parts (seats, dashboards, trim)
- Suspension and drivetrain components
- Electrical parts (wiring harnesses, sensors, lights)

How Self-Service Works
The process is simple:
- Arrive during business hours. No appointment is needed.

- Check the part. Look for damage, fit, and condition before buying.
- Take the part to checkout. Staff will verify it, process payment, and help load it if needed.

Tools like pry bars, wrenches, and jack stands are available for rent if customers need help removing parts. Some parts may require on-site disassembly.
What to Bring
Come prepared for a hands-on visit:
- A vehicle description (make, model, year) for the part you need.
- Tools for part removal (if taking the part immediately).
- Payment (cash, credit, or debit card).
