Lewis Auto & Truck Parts at 229 NE Burgess St, Topeka, KS 66608

Lewis Auto & Truck Parts is a Topeka salvage yard where customers can find used auto parts for any vehicle. The yard runs on a u-pull-it model, letting you pick and remove parts yourself from a large selection of salvaged cars and trucks. They also handle professional services like engine and transmission rebuilds, custom exhaust work, and body repairs. With over 30 years in the Topeka area, they specialize in tracking down hard-to-find parts for both classic and newer vehicles. The yard also processes scrap metal on-site, which helps keep part prices lower than what you’d pay new.

Services & What to Expect

Lewis Auto & Truck Parts offers two main ways to get parts: self-service and professional help. The u-pull-it yard lets you browse and remove parts from wrecked vehicles yourself. Staff can point you to what you need or suggest alternatives if the exact part isn’t available.

  • Pick and remove parts from salvaged vehicles
  • Buy used parts at lower prices than new ones
  • Get help finding or identifying parts

If you need hands-on work done, they also provide:

  • Engine and transmission rebuilds
  • Custom exhaust fabrication
  • Bodywork and modifications

The yard processes scrap metal on-site, which helps keep part prices competitive. If they don’t have a part in stock, they can often order it through their supplier network. Bring your own tools—wrenches, sockets, and safety gear—if you plan to remove parts yourself. They don’t offer towing or junk car removal, so check with local cash-for-cars services if you need to sell an old vehicle.

Unlike many salvage yards that focus on just parts or just repairs, Lewis does both. The scrap metal processing also sets them apart from competitors who send that work out.
