Overview

Sims Metal - Sewell, New Jersey

Sims Metal in Sewell, NJ, has been a local scrap metal dealer and auto salvage yard since the early 1900s. Located at 1580 Hurffville Road, the business specializes in used auto parts and scrap metal recycling. Customers can browse the yard on their own to find parts for domestic and foreign vehicles, with staff available to help locate specific components. The facility includes both outdoor salvage areas and an indoor showroom for easier access to parts.

Services & What to Expect

Sims Metal offers a self-service auto salvage experience where customers can search for used parts without needing an appointment. The yard carries parts for cars, trucks, and SUVs, including both domestic and foreign makes.

  • Self-service salvage: Customers can walk the yard to find and remove parts themselves. Tools are available for rent or purchase on-site.
  • Used auto parts sales: The inventory includes engines, transmissions, body panels, interior components, and mechanical parts. Staff can help identify part numbers or match parts to vehicles.
  • Scrap metal recycling: The business processes scrap metal, though this service is mainly for industrial clients.
  • No whole vehicle sales: Unlike some salvage yards, Sims Metal sells parts individually and does not offer junk or salvage-title cars for purchase.

Before visiting, bring the vehicle identification number (VIN) or part numbers for the components you need. The yard does not have an online parts search, so an in-person visit is required to check inventory. Payment is handled on-site, with cash, debit, and credit cards usually accepted (call ahead to confirm).

If you have an old vehicle you no longer need, consider selling it for cash. Many local buyers, including junk car buyers in New Jersey , offer fair prices for vehicles in any condition.

I had six brand-new 1-inch by 10-foot copper pipes from Home Depot, cut in half so they’d fit in my truck. Each one weighed 14.5 pounds—I checked. That’s 87 pounds total. But when I got to the yard, they only gave me credit for 36 pounds. Less than half. And yeah, they labeled it as copper #1, but that doesn’t make it right. New Jersey’s supposed to regulate this stuff, but clearly, they don’t care. If you’re bringing in scrap, weigh it first so you know what you’re owed. These guys will lowball you every time. ---

I brought in a bunch of vacuum cords—16-gauge stuff, not the usual 18-gauge—and some appliance cords with the ends cut off. They paid me for 28-34 gauge wire at 79 cents a pound. Then there was the light iron, which should’ve been $7 per hundred pounds, but they gave me $6.25. All told, they shorted me by almost $31. When I called to ask about it, the lady on the phone told me to come pick my wire back up. Like, seriously? Don’t bother with these people—they’ll waste your time and your gas money. I left a message, and the scale lady, GiGi, called back with some excuse about checking my wire an hour after I left. She claimed she found it, but come on. And when I mentioned EMR doesn’t rip people off, she said, *"We’re not EMR."* Yeah, because EMR doesn’t undercut scrap prices. Buyer beware—these guys are shady. ---

Dropped off an old Jen-Air grill and some random junk, and the guy just waved me in like, *"Have fun throwing it in."* Didn’t even ask what I had. No money, no questions. For first-timers, maybe some clearer instructions would help—like, where to go, what to expect. Just felt a little lost. ---

First time scrapping, first time at Sim’s, and honestly, it couldn’t have gone smoother. The place was packed—Friday, you know—but everyone who worked there was patient and actually helped me out. The prices were fair, too. We’ll definitely be back. ---

I’m not a scrapper—I just bought a boat garage and had a ton of metal sitting around. No clue what I was doing, but the people here were *so* nice. They took their time explaining everything, answered all my questions, and made sure I didn’t feel overwhelmed. Janet at the scale was especially sweet—she’s been there 13 years, and you can tell she actually cares. Not every place has people like that anymore. Can’t wait to go back.
