Apache Auto Wreckers Inc at 2 Mt Vernon St, Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660

Apache Auto Wreckers Inc is a self-service auto salvage yard in Ridgefield Park, NJ. Customers can browse and remove their own parts from salvaged cars and trucks. The yard focuses on selling used auto parts for repairs and restorations, including engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components. They don’t buy or sell junk cars—just parts.

Services & What to Expect

Apache Auto Wreckers is a self-service salvage yard. Customers search for and remove parts themselves from a large inventory of salvaged vehicles, including cars, trucks, and SUVs. The yard doesn’t offer repair services like oil changes or tire rotations.

How Self-Service Salvage Works

  • Browse the yard: Customers walk through the inventory to find parts. Vehicles are usually grouped by make, model, or year, but exact organization can vary.
  • Remove parts: Once a part is found, customers take it off the vehicle themselves. Basic tools (like wrenches and pry bars) are often available for rent or purchase on-site.
  • Pay by the pound: Pricing is based on the weight of the part(s) removed. Customers may need to bring their own scale or use one provided by the yard.
  • No appointment needed: Walk-ins are welcome during business hours. No reservations are required.

What to Bring

  • Tools for removing parts, if not provided on-site.
  • A vehicle or trailer to haul parts away.
  • Cash or a payment method the yard accepts (check their website for details).
  • Gloves and safety gear, as the yard may have sharp metal and debris.

Parts Available

The yard carries parts from many vehicle makes and models, though stock depends on recent salvage acquisitions. Common parts include:

  • Engines and transmissions (domestic and foreign).
  • Body panels (doors, hoods, fenders, bumpers).
  • Interior parts (seats, dashboards, trim).
  • Suspension and drivetrain parts (control arms, axles, differentials).
  • Electrical components (starters, alternators, wiring harnesses).
  • Braking and steering parts (calipers, rotors, tie rods).

For rare or high-demand parts, call ahead at (201) 440-2883 to check availability. The yard doesn’t guarantee specific parts will be in stock.
