Sacramento Auto Dismantling - Rancho Cordova, CA
Sacramento Auto Dismantling is a self-service auto salvage yard at 3440 Recycle Road in Rancho Cordova. Since 2001, they’ve focused on dismantling and selling used parts for Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Ford, Chevy, and Dodge vehicles.

Services & What to Expect
Sacramento Auto Dismantling is a self-service salvage yard, meaning you find and remove parts on your own. This keeps prices lower than dealerships or auto parts stores. The yard mainly stocks parts for Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Ford, Chevy, and Dodge, though other makes may be available depending on what’s in stock.
How Self-Service Works
To pull parts here, follow these steps:
- Visit during business hours (Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM–3:00 PM, Sunday closed)
- Bring your own tools—wrenches, sockets, pry bars, and anything else you’ll need
- Find the vehicle with the part you need (parts are organized by make and model)
- Remove the part yourself (staff can answer questions but won’t help with removal)
- Pay for the part at the office before leaving
The yard doesn’t offer part removal services, so you’ll need to handle the work yourself.
What to Bring
Plan ahead and bring:
- Tools—wrenches, sockets, pry bars, jack stands, etc.
- A vehicle to haul the part (some parts are heavy or bulky)
- Cash or a card for payment (both are accepted)
- Safety gear—gloves, eye protection, or anything else you need
Customer Experience Notes
Reviews from customers show mixed experiences. Some had smooth, helpful visits—like Jerry, who helped a customer buy a truck bed and worked out hauling details from Utah. Others, like Nick White, found the process quick and easy, driving from Reno to pick up a transmission in under five minutes.
A few customers, though, reported frustration. Mykola Terletskyi was hung up on after asking about a part, while Jonathan Deleon described aggressive behavior when trying to return a faulty transmission. This suggests the yard can be efficient, but customer service isn’t always consistent.
If you’re looking to get rid of an old car, the yard buys junk vehicles for dismantling. For more details, check out our cash for junk cars page.
