What is this website?

Salvage-Parts.com is a human-verified directory that aims to gather the most complete the contact information of the junkyards near you in the United States, all in one place. Our greatest motivation and narrow the existing gap between customers and businesses. To achieve this end, our website tries to:

  • Offer an efficient search service for used parts and junk vehicles.
  • Provide the most accurate, human-checked information about these businesses.

Who is the Salvage-Parts.com website for?

Our website is designed both for users looking for second-hand parts and for junkyards and professional mechanical workshops that need to buy used parts and need to save their valuable time, but without giving up on finding good discounts. We also focus on salvage yards that want to be known in the digital environment and get their services, while connecting directly with potential customers through our platform.

How does our Junk Car Search Engine work?

The purpose of this tool is to simplify the purchase and sale of junk parts and cars, helping both parties to contact each other:

  1. Users access our search engine and search for the vehicle make and model they are interested in.
  2. They review the different offers in their area.
  3. They contact the seller directly (zero intermediaries) and make their offer.

All this without intervention on our part. Our sole purpose is to put the means of communication between buyer and seller. From that first contact, both parties can agree on how to close the deal.

Likewise, users can contact directly with the junkyards in their area using our contact information to request a valuation of their used car or the parts they intend to sell.

What are the advantages of our Auto Parts Store?

Our Auto Parts Store has the largest offer in brand-new parts for cars and motorcycles, which greatly simplifies the search process when you can't find what you're looking for in a junkyard in your area. On the other hand, the store usually offers great discounts in a great variety of manufacturers and models, so the prices will not be so different from what we can obtain for an used spare from a junk yard.

What advantages do users obtain on our website with respect to the competition?

Our website is 100% focused on the user and solving their need for information. These are some of the things that differentiate us:

  • Great time saving: in a few clicks you will get to a list of all the junkyards you can find in your area. You just have to access their contact information and call or send an email before going in person.
  • A help to your pocket: do not forget that the parts and accessories of used vehicles can be 80% cheaper than those purchased at an official dealer.
  • Always with guarantee: the used parts are checked by the junkyards before putting them on sale and, in general, they have associated a guarantee of use that protects you in case of failure.
  • Fully informed: during your stay on our website you will find various information FAQs and an automotive blog where we give you the keys to get the most out of your used vehicle, how to get the right piece in the junkyard, what guarantees you must ask... and much more.
