Services & What to Expect
Shorty's is a self-service salvage yard, so you’ll search for and remove parts on your own. The yard carries a wide range of used auto parts, including engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components. Tools are usually available for rent or use on-site, but bringing your own tools is a good idea.
