Full Service Salvage Yard

Most salvage yards are in the businesses of dismantling and selling used or wrecked vehicles for parts and scrap metal. These yards typically purchase cars that are no longer in use or have been deemed totaled by insurance companies.

Some common reasons why a vehicle may be taken to a salvage yard include:

Accident damage – Cars that have been involved in accidents and deemed beyond repair by insurance companies are often sent to salvage yards.

Mechanical issues – Vehicles with major mechanical problems that are not cost-effective to repair may also end up in salvage yards.

End of life – Older vehicles that are no longer in use and are not worth fixing may be sold to salvage yards for parts or scrap metal.

Car salvage yards usually dismantle vehicles and sell the usable parts to consumers or auto repair shops. These parts can include engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components.

Salvage yards are required to adhere to environmental regulations when disposing of hazardous materials such as oil, gasoline, and refrigerants found in vehicles. They may also need to comply with local regulations regarding zoning, licensing, and permits. Overall, car salvage yards play a crucial role in the automotive industry by recycling and repurposing used vehicles, reducing waste, and providing affordable parts for consumers and repair shops.
