Arnold Motor Supply at 2100 Okoboji Ave, Milford, IA 51351
Arnold Motor Supply is a self-service auto salvage yard and parts supplier at 2100 Okoboji Ave in Milford. The business runs as both a junkyard for breaking down vehicles and a parts store, selling used auto parts to mechanics, repair shops, and car owners. Customers can walk the yard themselves to find and remove parts from wrecked or retired vehicles. The inventory includes common parts like brakes, suspension components, and electrical systems, along with harder-to-find pieces for older or specialty vehicles. There’s no online parts catalog, so you’ll need to visit in person to see what’s available. The yard also handles scrap metal recycling and vehicle disposal.
Services & What to Expect
Arnold Motor Supply is a self-service salvage yard, meaning you’re responsible for finding, removing, and paying for parts on your own. The yard has a mix of totaled cars, end-of-life vehicles, and donor cars stripped for parts.
- Self-service parts retrieval: You enter the yard, locate the part you need, and remove it with your own tools. Staff can help point you to the right vehicle but won’t remove parts for you.
- Scrap metal recycling: The yard takes scrap metal from vehicles and other sources, though exact details aren’t listed online.
- Vehicle disposal: Arnold Motor Supply processes junked or totaled cars, including dismantling and recycling.
- No online parts database: Unlike some salvage yards, Arnold Motor Supply doesn’t have a searchable inventory online. You’ll need to visit to check if a part is in stock.
Bring your own tools—jacks, wrenches, and anything else needed for part removal. The yard doesn’t provide tools, cleaning, or refurbishing services. Pricing is set per part or per vehicle, with no online pricing guide. If you’re looking to sell an old car , call ahead to ask about their current policies, as the website doesn’t list this service.
The business has been in Milford for years, serving local mechanics, farmers, and car owners. While no specific inventory is listed online, the yard likely carries a wide range of parts due to its long history in the area.
