Top-rated junkyards in the US

How this ranking works

Yards are ranked by their Google rating weighted by their number of Google reviews. A yard with 4.8 stars from 900 reviews places above one with 5.0 stars from 12, because a rating backed by more reviews says more. A yard needs at least 10 reviews to be ranked, and no chain gets more than two places on any list.

4,635 yards have 10 or more reviews; 4,442 remain after the two-per-chain rule. The order comes only from Google ratings and review counts, which change over time. It says nothing about prices, parts in stock or what a yard pays.
