Services & What to Expect

Import Cars & Parts is a self-service junkyard. You’re responsible for locating and removing parts yourself. Here’s what you should know before visiting:

How Self-Service Works

• Bring your own tools. The yard doesn’t provide tools, so you’ll need wrenches, sockets, pry bars, and anything else required to remove parts.
• Find parts on your own. Staff won’t help locate specific parts—you’ll search the yard independently. Vehicles are grouped by make and model, but exact part locations aren’t guaranteed.
• Pay by the pound. Pricing is based on the weight of the parts you take. A scale at the exit calculates the total cost. Common parts like bumpers, doors, or engines usually cost between $50 and $300, depending on size and material.
• Parts are sold as-is. The yard doesn’t test or guarantee any components, so buyers take full responsibility for condition and functionality.

What Parts Are Available?

The yard carries a mix of foreign and domestic vehicles, with a focus on:

• Japanese makes (Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi)
• European makes (Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi)
• American makes (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Chrysler)
• Asian and European luxury and performance vehicles

You’ll find common parts like engines, transmissions, doors, fenders, bumpers, headlights, taillights, interior panels, and suspension components. High-demand parts may sell out quickly, so visiting early in the week improves your chances.

What to Bring

• A valid driver’s license or ID
• Cash or a debit/credit card (the yard accepts cards, but confirm before visiting)
• Tools for part removal (wrenches, sockets, pry bars, jack, etc.)
• A truck, trailer, or vehicle with enough space to transport parts
• Gloves and safety gear (junkyards can be dirty and hazardous)
• A list of parts you need (if you have specific vehicle models in mind)

Pro Tips for Shopping Here

• Go early. Popular parts disappear fast, especially on weekends. Weekdays (Monday–Thursday) are less crowded.
• Check for rust and damage. Many parts come from older or accident-damaged vehicles. Inspect closely before removing anything.
• Ask about core charges. Some yards require a core charge for engines or transmissions, even if you’re pulling them yourself. Confirm this before removing high-value parts.
• Weigh parts before removal. If you’re unsure about the weight of a part, ask staff to estimate the cost upfront to avoid surprises at checkout.
