• Transportation to carry parts (truck, trailer, or vehicle with space)
• Cash or payment for any fees (some yards charge per vehicle entered)

Vehicle Donations & Junk Car Removal

While Parker Street focuses on self-service salvage, it may accept vehicle donations. If you have a non-running car, truck, or SUV to get rid of, check if they offer cash for junk cars . Some yards provide free towing and same-day pickup, but policies vary.
