Parts Department - Basehor, KS

Parts Department is a self-service auto salvage yard and used auto parts dealer at 22169 155th St in Basehor, Kansas. Customers can browse, remove, and buy parts from salvaged vehicles themselves or purchase pre-inspected used parts from the store. The yard focuses on hard-to-find components and offers help identifying or locating specific parts.

Services & What to Expect

Parts Department offers two ways to get auto parts: self-service salvage and pre-inspected used parts. In the self-service area, customers walk through the yard, find parts on their own, and remove them from vehicles. This is best for those hunting for specific, often hard-to-find components at lower prices. The store also keeps a stock of pre-inspected used parts ready for purchase, including engines, transmissions, body panels, and common components.

Self-Service Salvage Process

To use the self-service salvage area, bring:

  • Tools for part removal (cutting torches, wrenches, etc.)
  • The make, model, and year of the part you need
  • Payment for the part (pricing is usually by the part or by the hour)
  • A way to haul the part away
Staff can help point you to the right vehicle and confirm part compatibility. The yard has a mix of newer and older cars, with an emphasis on parts that are hard to find elsewhere.

Other Services

Parts Department may also handle:

  • Scrap metal recycling for old vehicles or metal
  • Part identification and compatibility checks
  • Delivery of purchased parts (ask staff for details)
While the business doesn’t advertise buying cars, customers with an old vehicle to get rid of can ask about scrap metal or junk car removal.
