Riverside Auto & Truck Salvage - Oklahoma City, OK
Riverside Auto & Truck Salvage is a self-service auto salvage yard in Oklahoma City. Customers can browse used auto parts and vehicles for repairs or rebuilding. The yard follows a "u-pull-it" model, where you find and remove parts yourself. It serves both DIYers and professional mechanics looking for affordable alternatives to new parts. The business also handles vehicle removals and takes in junk cars, though parts sales are the main focus.
Services & What to Expect
Riverside Auto & Truck Salvage is a self-service yard, meaning you handle finding and removing parts on your own. The inventory includes passenger cars, trucks, and other vehicles, with parts ranging from engines and transmissions to body panels and interior components. Bring your own tools—none are provided on-site.
How Self-Service Works
- Browse the yard: Vehicles are grouped by type but not strictly organized. Walk through rows to spot parts you need.
- Locate parts: Some cars have tags noting issues (like "transmission out"), but most require a visual check. A parts catalog or online inventory may be available.
- Remove parts: You must bring your own tools. The yard doesn’t supply wrenches, jacks, or other equipment.
- Pay for parts: Pricing is per part. Some vehicles have core charges (a refundable deposit if you return the part in working condition). Pay at the office before or after removing the part.
What to Bring
- Tools (wrenches, sockets, jack, pry bars)
- Gloves and safety gear (parts can be sharp or dirty)
- Transport (a truck or trailer helps for large items)
- Cash or card (the office takes both, but check for card fees)
- Vehicle paperwork (if buying a whole car or truck)
Vehicle Removal & Junk Cars
Riverside Auto & Truck Salvage accepts junk cars and vehicles for removal. If you need to get rid of an old car, truck, or non-running vehicle, call to arrange pickup or drop-off. For a faster process, selling through our network of buyers often means same-day payments and no hassle.
