Specialty salvage yards

Some salvage yards focus on trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats, imports or heavy equipment. A yard is listed under a specialty only when a customer's Google review mentions it, the yard's own website says so, or the yard's name says so. Some yards cover more than one, so the counts overlap: 1,184 of the 5,296 yards we list appear under at least one specialty.

Specialties by number of yards

The specialties

Truck salvage yards

527 yards in 46 states · 59 in reviews

For pickups, work trucks, semi trucks and diesel parts.

Tip: Have the VIN ready. Truck parts change with the cab, bed length, drivetrain and engine, and the VIN lets the yard match them.

Motorcycle salvage yards

276 yards in 44 states · 47 in reviews

For street bikes, cruisers, dirt bikes and their parts.

Tip: Know the year, make, model and engine size. Levers, mirrors and body panels can change from one model year to the next.

Import and foreign auto salvage yards

260 yards in 41 states · 45 in reviews

For European, Japanese and Korean cars.

Tip: Have the VIN and engine code ready. Import parts can differ by trim, engine and the market the car was built for.

RV salvage yards

194 yards in 42 states · 43 in reviews

For motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels and pop-up campers.

Tip: An RV has two sets of parts: the chassis (engine, transmission, axles) from the truck or van maker, and the living space (windows, doors, appliances, cabinets) from the RV maker. Know which one your part comes from.

Heavy equipment salvage yards

101 yards in 37 states · 32 in reviews

For tractors, loaders, excavators and other machines.

Tip: Have the machine's make, model and serial number from its data plate.

57 yards in 25 states · 25 in reviews

For boats, outboard motors, trailers and marine parts.

Tip: Know the boat's make, model and year. For an engine or outboard, have its make, model and serial number.

How the proof works

We read each yard's Google reviews and its own website. A yard goes under a specialty only when one of these says so:

What a yard has on the lot changes every week. Call ahead and describe the part before you make the trip.
