Services & What to Expect

Decatur Auto Parts Inc runs a self-service salvage yard where customers find and remove their own parts from junked cars. The inventory includes used auto parts like engines, transmissions, body panels, and mechanical components. The yard doesn’t offer professional disassembly, so customers handle the work themselves.

How Self-Service Salvage Works

  • Customers visit during open hours (Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM–5:00 PM).
  • Parts come from salvaged vehicles in the yard—no professional disassembly is provided.
  • Find the part you need, remove it, and pay by the pound for its weight.
  • Basic tools may be on-site, but bring your own if you need specialized equipment.

What to Bring

Since this is a self-service yard, come prepared:

  • A vehicle to haul parts (some are large or heavy).
  • Basic hand tools (wrenches, sockets, pry bars) if needed.
  • Gloves and safety gear (salvage yards can be messy and unsafe).
  • A way to measure or weigh parts (some yards charge by weight).

Parts Available

The yard stocks common auto parts, including:

  • Engines and transmissions (domestic and foreign models).
  • Body panels (doors, hoods, fenders, bumpers).
  • Mechanical parts (differentials, axles, suspension components).
  • Interior pieces (seats, dashboards, trim).
  • Electrical parts (wiring harnesses, alternators, starters).

For rare or specific parts, call ahead to check stock.

Honestly, this place is a lifesaver. I’ve been to a few junkyards, but this one actually had the exact parts I needed—and the guys made it super easy. No hassle, no waiting around. Just got what I came for and left happy. ---

Look, I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place deserves it. The parts I needed? They had ’em. The service? Fast and no-nonsense. Not gonna overhype it—it’s just a solid spot that doesn’t waste your time. ---

Selling my old car here was way smoother than I expected. They walked me through every step, answered all my questions without making me feel stupid, and even gave me a fair price upfront. No hidden fees, no runaround. If everyone did business this straightforward, the world would be a better place. ---

Spent half my day chasing a part that wasn’t even here. Their system said they had it, but when I showed up, crickets. The old guy at the counter—goatee, Harley hat, all that—couldn’t be bothered to help. Zero effort, zero patience. The only reason I’m giving two stars is the younger guy pulling parts. He at least tried to point me in the right direction, even sent me to the yard next door (who, by the way, didn’t have the part either but helped me find it online). Moral of the story? Save yourself the headache and order from Y-Yard in Effingham. Cheaper, faster, and no attitude.

I was in a bind trying to track down a rim for my truck, and let me tell you, most places either didn’t have it or wanted an arm and a leg. Called this yard, and not only did they have the part, but they shipped it to me in two days—no damage, no surprises. The price? Beat every other place I checked within 200 miles, shipping included. And the guys on the phone? Actually took the time to help instead of rushing me off. ---
