Services & What to Expect
Syd's Eastside Auto Salvaging offers a simple self-service experience for customers looking for used auto parts or scrap metal. The yard doesn’t provide tools or help with part removal—visitors must bring their own equipment. Staff can point out where vehicles are located and confirm if a part is available.
- Used auto parts like engines, transmissions, body panels, and electrical components
- Scrap metal and salvageable materials
- Whole vehicles for purchase or parting out
The yard doesn’t advertise cash-for-cars services, but if you need to get rid of an old vehicle, check with local junkyards. Inventory changes often, so call ahead to confirm what’s available.
Prices are set per part, with some variation based on condition. Scrap metal is sold by the pound. Some parts are listed online with prices, but others require a call for a quote. A small access fee may apply, though it’s not always required for quick visits.
