Overview

Gargus Recycling at 749 County Rd 26, Ashville, AL

Gargus Recycling is a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal recycling center at 749 County Rd 26 in Ashville, Alabama. Customers can pull their own parts from wrecked vehicles or sell scrap metal and junk cars. The yard is open Tuesday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM. It’s closed Sundays and Mondays.

Services & What to Expect

Gargus Recycling runs a self-service salvage yard and scrap metal recycling operation. Customers can browse wrecked vehicles to remove parts themselves, which makes it a go-to spot for DIY mechanics and car owners needing affordable replacements. The yard doesn’t provide tools or help with part removal, so visitors should bring their own gear.

For scrap metal, the business takes in junk cars, appliances, and other metal materials. Exact scrap prices aren’t listed, but current rates for the area are available on sites like u-pull-it.com and iscrapapp.com . If you’ve got an old car to sell, check local cash for junk cars services for quotes.

The yard is laid out with wrecked vehicles parked in rows. Customers walk through to find parts like engines, transmissions, doors, and interior pieces. Since it’s self-service, staff won’t help locate parts.

What to Bring

  • Tools for removing parts (wrenches, sockets, pry bars)
  • Gloves and safety gear (some wrecks have sharp edges or broken glass)
  • A truck or trailer (parts are heavy and bulky)
  • Cash or a payment method (some yards require payment before taking parts)
  • A list of the parts you need (saves time searching)

I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s always a good experience. The selection of parts is solid, and the staff actually knows what they’re talking about. Prices are fair—no surprise markups—and when I bring in scrap, they don’t lowball me. If you’re looking for a place that won’t waste your time, this is it. ---

Called about selling some scrap, and the woman who answered was straight-up rude. Didn’t even try to hide it. If that’s how they treat people over the phone, I’d hate to see how they act in person. Not worth the hassle. ---

Showed up at 10 on a Saturday like Google said, but the gates were locked. No sign, no note, nothing. Wasted a 20-minute drive for no reason. Not sure if they just forgot or what, but it’s annoying when places don’t bother updating their hours. ---

I’ve sold scrap to a few places, but this one always pays the best. No waiting around, no games—just a quick, fair deal. If you’ve got metal or parts to unload, skip the rest and go here. They make it easy. ---

My husband and I hit Gargus Recycling every few months, and it’s always a good time. Feels like St. Clair County’s version of Pull-A-Part—tons of cars to pick from, and the staff actually helps you find what you need. Prices are decent, and nobody gives you a hard time. If you’re hunting for parts, give them a shot.
