Overview

Willingham Salvage Inc. at 1643 4th St SW, Cullman, AL

Willingham Salvage Inc. is a self-service auto salvage yard in Cullman, Alabama, at 1643 4th St SW. Customers can browse and remove parts from wrecked vehicles on their own. The yard focuses on late-model domestic and foreign cars, trucks, and SUVs, offering affordable used auto parts. There’s no parts counter—you find and remove what you need yourself. The business has been in Cullman for over 30 years but doesn’t have online reviews or a website. It’s open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Services & What to Expect

Willingham Salvage is a self-service junkyard. You’ll need to locate and remove parts from wrecked vehicles yourself. The yard doesn’t cut or remove parts for you, but it does have a large selection of stripped-down cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs with usable components. You’ll find engines, transmissions, body panels, lights, and interior parts here.

How Self-Service Works

  • No staff helps with part removal—you handle it yourself. Bring your own tools if needed.
  • No part-cutting service is available. You must remove parts as they are.
  • Pay with cash or card at the entrance or office before leaving.
  • There’s no online inventory. You’ll need to check vehicles in person.
  • Parts are sold "as-is" with no returns or warranties.

What to Bring

  • Tools like wrenches, sockets, pry bars, or bolt cutters for part removal.
  • Gloves and safety gear to protect against sharp edges or debris.
  • Cash or a debit/credit card for payment.
  • A list of the parts you need to save time.
  • Transportation to carry parts away—some, like engines, are heavy.

The yard carries late-model domestic and foreign vehicles, including:

  • Cars (Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and others).
  • Trucks (Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, Dodge Ram, Toyota Tacoma).

These guys are great—fast, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile. Just make sure to call every day for the latest prices if you want the best deal. Worth the quick check-in. ---

Hands down, this is the best scrap yard around. The ladies in the office are always friendly, and the guys out back keep you laughing while they work. Prices are fair, and they treat you right. No reason to go anywhere else. ---

Called ahead the day before to check prices, and they sent me a list right away. I double-checked about copper—$3.65 a pound—and figured I’d bring in a decent haul. Showed up with over 100 pounds of both #1 and #2, but before I could even step on the scale, they rushed my stuff off to weigh it. Turns out that $3.65 price only kicks in if you drop off 500 pounds or more. Drove two hours for this nonsense. Then, after handing me $140, the woman behind the counter grabbed a $2,000 chunk of tourmaline from my truck—some fancy rock she claimed was for "EMF protection" or whatever. Guess she needed it more than I did. Won’t waste my time here again. ---

Need quick, fair scrap prices? Willinghams is the spot. They make recycling metal easy, and you actually get paid for it. Been a solid place in the community for years—no hassle, just good service.

Took a small load of scrap in on July 28th, helping my grandma out of the truck so she could talk to the crew about her vehicle and trailer. While two guys unloaded her batteries, some jerk on a lift started barking at me to hurry up and help *his* guys. Rude doesn’t even cover it. The rest of the staff was fine, but I’m not coming back for that kind of attitude. Next time, I’m taking my scrap somewhere else. ---
