Services & What to Expect

Sharper Edge Engines is a self-service salvage yard, meaning customers search for and remove parts themselves. The yard doesn’t offer part removal services, so visitors must bring their own tools. Pricing is based on weight, with a minimum charge per visit. The yard specializes in engines and drivetrain components but also stocks body panels, interior parts, and other mechanical components.

How Self-Service Works

• Bring your own tools: You’ll need wrenches, sockets, pry bars, and jack stands to remove parts.
• Find what you need: Vehicles are grouped by make and model, but parts aren’t labeled. You’ll need to identify and remove them yourself.
• Pay by weight: Pricing is per pound, with a minimum fee. Payment is due at checkout.
• Parts are as-is: The yard doesn’t test or guarantee parts. Buyers take them at their own risk.

What Parts Are Available?

Sharper Edge Engines carries a wide range of used automotive parts, with a focus on engines and drivetrain components. You’ll often find:

• Engines and transmissions (domestic and foreign)
