Services & What to Know

The salvage yard has used auto parts from decommissioned vehicles, including engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components. You’ll need to bring your own tools and a way to haul parts away. The yard doesn’t help with removal, so you’ll need to handle that yourself.

The yard doesn’t list car purchases on its website, but many local scrap yards offer cash for junk cars . If you need to sell an old vehicle, call the yard or check with other salvage operations in the area.

• A truck or trailer to haul parts
