Best junkyards in California: find options near you

Been dealing with Jerry for many years and have always been well taken care of weather it’s parts needed, warranty or just questions. Great job Jerry

Great spot super professional. Ask for Robert can you help me order my transmission for my car they won’t deliver to your house but they will deliver to a shop, or you can get it delivered to their business and pick up your parts in there in case they got to order from a sister yard.

Robert is a friendly and honest salesman. He saved me from spending money unnecessarily on a part for my vehicle. If you need a part for your vehicle speak to Robert!!

Always great on communication. Definitely give them a call for all of your used parts needs!

Good experience but getting the payment through was not easy. The payment site didn’t work but Robert worked through it with me and they took the payment manually over the phone.

Well organized. More than likely you’ll find the parts you’re looking for. They have a big selection of vehicles. More good news, they lowered admission prices to $3, they have Military discounts, and I think they may have lowered their prices too. This is a huge plus!

Came here for a discontinued part for my car. I did find the part but it was defective I didn’t purchase warranty so yeah my loss. You won’t get your money back without purchasing their warranty. When I arrived there I asked one of the workers at the front gate for guidance on the row I was looking for, he just pointed and said behind those cars lol. I was like which cars…I mean it is car junkyard. Not so friendly or helpful staff here, no smiles none had that welcoming attitude, it was all the opposite, then my stupid azz finally realized oh crap I’m at a junkyard lol! So what to expect right🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ The car selection is not bad at all. The cost of the parts with today’s economy not bad either. I did find that people deliberately cut A/C lines not sure why people do that, which is the part I was looking for. Overall not a bad junkyard and clean too compare to others. Just don’t expect to get friendly and helpful staff at the gate, it’s more like walking through a prison gate attitudes lol! Other than that be ready to walk the yard and look on your own with no guidance from staff to point you in the right direction for the car you’re looking for.

Good place to go to for used parts and stuff they don’t sell at autoparts stores. Nice workers willing to help you out especially the cashiers offering to give you a list of cars and also tell you the prices. Nice guy by the name of Greg really helped me out by explaining the warranty and how I can exchange the part if it happens to be the wrong one

I have been coming here for a long time but I have to say I don’t care for the way they changed the lines to pay They had 2 windows open and over 40 people waiting to pay while the majority standing in the sun Not to mention prices are getting higher but who’s aren’t I may be done with this place if they can’t figure out the line situation

I came to retire my vehicle. I had applied online to the BAR program. They will give you a $2,000 incentive to turn in your older gas guzzler vehicle. Especially if you can’t pass the smog check. So I did it and all went well.

Not enough cashiers. Only one cashier! It will take you an hour just to check out and pay for your items. They have 7 cashier windows, but only 1 cashier is working. If you don’t want to hire more cashiers, then get a self checkout station. Whoever is managing this place needs to put more importance to making it easier and faster for customers to get in and out.

Not bad, not great. Cars are no longer organized by make, so that’s rather annoying. I used their online system to try and find the cars I was looking for, but it was so outdated. I was surprised to see some older vehicles, good selection of engines. Spotted several HEMIs, LS galore even a 440. No 5.0L Windsor or Coyotes unfortunately. There’s plenty of t28/t3 turbos. Overall not bad, workers were great. Hadn’t been here in ten years.

Had a fabulous afternoon hardly any traffic not too warm and it wasn’t even crowded when in and look for a few parts and came back out and even got a free water and they had the misters on

One good place to find parts for many different cars,truck,van, and others. They have guarantee and offer to pull parts for you and then you just pick up..they have many other yards near by and far..down load the app and start looking but sometimes it isn’t up to date just know that…their is tools for sell in parting lot and food vendor…good luck

I would not recommend this location. It is mismanaged. The attendant at the admissions counter is rude and dismissive. They bait you into believing they have your part in stock when in reality they don’t. They just want to earn their $3 admission per person. I drove over an hour to this location because their online inventory system showed the part was in stock. When I arrived, I showed the guy at the desk the parts I was interested in. He checked and VERIFIED they have it in stock. We paid $6 total to enter (2 people). The car was not located at the location specified. We walked around for 20 minutes and finally found the car. None of the parts that I needed were available. I needed a front bumper and hood. The entire front of the car was missing. I told the guy at the front about my experience prior to leaving and that the parts I needed were not available. I told him that I asked about these parts and he verified they have it in stock prior to me entering. He just made excuses and said they probably didn’t update their inventory. I asked for a refund and he refused stating you still entered and it’s a $3 fee per person to enter. I explained to him that I only entered after confirming part availability with him and that if he would have told me the part is not available, I would have never entered. He still refused to refund me my admission fee, although it is very clear that he was in the wrong here. All they care about is earning their $3 admission fee. They act like people are so keen to enter. People enter to find the part they need. No one enjoys going to a junk yard. This is not an amusement park or an attraction. It’s a junkyard. Hope the $6 makes you rich. Pathetic.

I had a great experience at Pick Your Parts thanks to Cruz. I needed to return a part, but I didn’t have my receipt, and I honestly expected it to be a hassle. Cruz was extremely helpful, patient, and professional throughout the whole process. He took the time to help me figure everything out and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Customer service like this really stands out. Cruz was respectful, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I really appreciate the way he treated me and helped me out when he could have easily just turned me away. Pick Your Parts is lucky to have someone like Cruz on their team. Excellent customer service and definitely deserves recognition!

This junkyard has a huge selection of vehicles, so there’s a good chance you’ll find the part you’re looking for. The yard is organized well enough to make searching manageable, and the staff was helpful when I had a few questions. The only downside is that some of the parts seemed a bit overpriced compared to what I expected for a salvage yard. Even so, the wide variety of cars makes it worth checking out if you’re hunting for a hard-to-find part.

Nice auto salvage yard, but nothing is layed out by manufacturer. If you want to browse you have to walk the entire yard. On the plus side, if you’re looking for something specific there is a guy who can tell you exactly where it is. They sell tools and have a food truck, which is a definite plus.

We went on New Years Eve, and the guys who work there told us that everything would be 50% off the next day, for New Years. We were purchasing over $200 worth of auto parts, so we went back the next day to get them on sale. This place is so awesome-my favorite part is actually how you can set up the app so that it notifies you when a vehicle in your app’s garage arrives. You can search ALL the Pick Your Parts for the parts or vehicles you need!

Came to junk a car yesterday on my trailer and the forklift operator let the car slip and fall on my fender. I complained at the window about it and they told me the operator is supposed to disclose to me that they are not responsible for any damages caused to our belongings on the lot…which he didn’t do. I had a friend helping me and he can attest that they didn’t warn me about anything. I have plenty of friends in the car community that rent my trailer to drop their cars off here. They’ve dropped off cars with wheels and without wheels and it has never caused this much damage to my trailer. My trailer did get damaged here once before by the forklift operator with a septum piercing while picking up a car WITH WHEELS. Fortunately it only needed a couple tac welds, but this most recent damage will cause the fender to never look the same even if it’s bent back into shape. Unless I buy a brand new fender and get it welded which will cost me upwards of $500 dollars. The damage could’ve been way worse, but this trailer is my livelihood and it holds sentimental value of someone who is no longer here. I use it for work in multiple businesses I own, and the way that it’s treated is a reflection of me as a the owner. For it to look like this for something I didn’t even cause is so unfortunate and disappointing. Apparently the forklift operators aren’t even required to use the forklift to pick up the car off the trailer «it’s optional»…we would’ve loved to know that so we could’ve taken another approach to dropping that car. I just wish the forklift operators would of said something before causing this damage so we could’ve just unloaded the car ourselves. This could’ve been avoided by exchanging a couple words prior to lifting the car… Edit as of 4/09/2026 Turns out they also damaged my spare tire mount so I will have to get that rewelded as well. I got word that they are making people sign waivers due to a «complaint by a girl», so they can take actions to protect themselves from future customers, but I still haven’t received a phone call from the manager (I was told I would get one) who I’m assuming made the call for everyone to sign waivers. Im not asking for much just asking for someone to take responsibility or at least apologize for the extra money and time I have to spend repairing this.

Excellent response time and availability. I called on a Saturday and had three cars picked up Monday morning before 9 am. And check in hand. The drivers were well organized. Look forward to seeing what parts they have for my other Vehicles.

Came on July 4th was given free shirt and 50% of, customer service is always great here along with reasonable prices. Started coming here instead of pick your part where they basically charge you full new price on used parts. I drive further here but it’s worth it. I’ve spent over $500 here in the last two months because I actually get my money’s worth. Also better car selection newer models hopefully they open another one near Riverside soon.

NEVER EVER BRINGING MY BUSINESS HERE!!!!! The lady working in the front was extremely disrespectful to me, a paying customer! She does not respect her customers and their belongings. This place is extremely unprofessional. It’s a shame. This used to be one of my favorite spots but they have went downhill in their quality and customer service/support. I believe that this is key on whether an establishment truly cares about their customers. To laugh in the face of a paying customer is absolutely disgusting. Moving forward I will not be recommending this establishment to any friends or family.

Parking was easy, the lot had plenty of spots. Signing up was easy & the $4 entry fee was reasonable. The parts lot was labeled and it was easy to find the vehicle I found on line. Access to the car was easy, I had my part and was out in about 45 mins or so.

THR WARRANTY IS OPTIONAL. THIS LOCATION WILL NOT TELL YOU THAT. IT IS ILLEGAL TO CHARGE SOMEONE FOR A WARRANTY IF THEY DON’T WANT IT. Save yourself some money and tell them you don’t want the warranty. I’m sitting here looking at my recipe feeling like I got burned. They sold me a warranty on a spoiler and some interior body trim. I don’t need a warranty for that. On my receipt, the warranty for each item cost 1/3rd of the total price of the item. Which roughly comes out 21 third of your entire bill. I hope this helps anybody who goes there, so they can be prepared to not get burned.

I freaking love this place!!!! They always have a great selection of cars. The cashiers there are really dedicated and try their best to help people out. I got helped out by some guy named kevin. Dudes was really chill 😎 with the vibes and helped me get in and out quickly. By the looks off it, the cashiers seems to help out everyone to the best of their ability. Solid!!!! Idk about that the manager though 🤔 walked passed me mad. Either way dudes there are top tier 👌

Unfriendly, unhelpful, and hostile staff. Most of the time their returns system is conveniently not working. They always give customers a hard time when parts are being teturned. They lack great customer service. They never answer the phone. Their call center doesn’t have a clue how to help. Etc, etc, etc We’re valuable customers and deserve to be treated with respect and with dignity, NOT with hostility or rejections.

Got parts needed then upon checking out I remember I need a car battery. They have a big rack of them by the exit. So I ask how much. $40. I was gonna go get one but I just ask if the have all the sizes. They say they do. So I buy one and then go to get one. I am trying to to find the right one and a worker that seems to be the battery guy tells me to pull up my car and he will size me up the right one. So I go get car pull up and the guy watching exit who thinks he runs the place is now questioning if I payed entrance fee. I had to prove it. Then I find they don’t have the right size battery. The guy that thinks he is in charge is telling me to take a different one that they decided I should have and go. I don’t want it. It’s a cheap value craft. Now he goes to question if I even paid for a battery. I had to now prove that also. I say I just want money back. Mr. In charge tells me I need to take the cheap batter and go. I can’t get refund. I didn’t pay warranty. I didn’t even get one. They don’t have the right one I just want money back. It’s a problem and they are being very rude. The place has the worst customer service. Now I’m waitng over an hour longer than I would have been if I just didn’t get a battery. Unbelievable some people.

I understand that employees may get first pick of parts before vehicles are put out on the lot. If that’s the policy, fine. But at least update the pictures after those parts have been removed. Don’t advertise a vehicle with old or misleading photos that make customers waste their time and money driving out there. How much more obvious can you make it? Vehicles with stock radios, broken radios, or missing radios usually have clear pictures of the entire dashboard. But the vehicles that are most likely to have desirable factory radio head units? Suddenly the pictures are cut off right before the radio. That’s not a coincidence. The same thing happens with trucks and SUVs. The cargo area or truck bed is often missing from the photos, especially on vehicles that look like they may have had sound systems, toolboxes, or other valuable parts that customers are actually looking for. Why not show those areas? If the parts are gone, just show it. At least customers will know what they’re driving out to see. Who decides what parts of each vehicle get photographed? Has anyone in management actually looked at the pictures being uploaded to the website? Some of them are so incomplete that it honestly looks like they’re intentionally avoiding certain areas of the vehicle. If the people running the business were customers themselves, I’m sure they’d question why the photos are incomplete and misleading. Accurate, complete photos would save customers time, fuel, and frustration, and would make the website much more trustworthy. Right now, it feels like the website is designed to get customers through the gate rather than to honestly show what’s actually available.

Yesterday I qentvi. At about 10 am I got to the window the guy not giirl the dumbest at the cashier window was telling the customers that the security guard working tody is a very strict so look out today is not a good day for stealing stuff . So I also noticed they don’t pay to go in two guys in from of me did not pay. The girl that does a great job at the teller looked very frustrated as this niet guy was letting people in free and coaching the thiefa. So I pay go in and oickwd up some weatherproof mats I found i im a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe . And walked in to get a small part for my 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe limited inhad the whole kit two floor mats and well I left my wheel barrel for 10 seconds to get the driver side floor mat stolen from the wheel barrel. Along with tools snap on wrenches and my craftsman drill electric when I returned to pay I reported the mt missing along with my tools . I tried to purchase the left side floor mat so that the thief that took it from my wheel barrel did not get away with the full kit . Well at your window I told them to run my card as debit it should ask for a pin well they kept running it in purpose as credit till it was blocked they made me swipe my card over and over it denied my card so I gave up and left . Rudservice if you look black they stand there and treat you like a thief . Soneone outside got into my vehicle and tampered with my bcm I know my work i noticed the screws that mount the body of the bcm where left on my floorboard . So I’m out of my dignitY as now my good running car is not running good what is the problem mayne they ar

The scheduling process was simple and easy. They had a cancelation and instead of a Monday I was able to get next day. Just the pickup was a bit longer than expected but IPull-Upull was Amazing. Would definitely recommend them. Shout Out to Kathy! You’re the Best!

It’s like a kid in a candy store over here! Solid service and some knowledge people. No complaints here. Helped when asked and even gave me some insight. And they have 3 other locations. Clean, nice, and knowledgeable can’t go wrong with any of that

I had a great experience at I Pull U Pull—the yard is well organized and the prices are very affordable. Juanita, Martha, and Dean were all amazing, super friendly, and made the whole process easy and smooth. If you’re willing to put in a little work and bring your own tools, this is definitely the place to go for quality used auto parts.

I came to Ipull upull on 5:20pm on April 4th cashier doesn’t let me in and she keep asking me to leave because they close 5:30 pm and even she didn’t said sorry to me that what she did to me that she was not letting me in on 5:20pm. Her name is on the picture

I recently sold my car and had a smooth, stress-free experience. Priscilla was professional, honest, and offered a fair price while she answered my questions clearly and made the entire process easy from start to finish. Thank you so much Priscilla !

I been going to this location for long time and all the stuff members have been treated me with respect and very polite also the manager it is nice and pleasant the best service a lot better of san jose

It’s very cheap. There are many car models available for sourcing spare parts.

Out of the few times I have gone, they dont have the required parts for my cars(very common cars). Also, I have sold 2 cars here, so if you have plans to do so, either come very early or make time for a 2 hr window in your day. The inspection can be quick, but the paperwork takes time(Understandably) If they’re helping others, that is what takes time as well… about 45 to 60mins per person, and there’s only one person inspecting the vehicles at a time. Their attitudes could be better, but it is what it is. The waiting area is outside, and don’t forget to sign in when you get there (if you’re selling your car)!! Thanks for reading.

This was an enjoyable experience! They had decent inventory, and kept things categorized and documented well. $3 admission fee was reasonable. They would increase their business 10 fold if they had more trucks and SUVs, but it is good enough. Slim pickings for Ford trucks.

I was able to get the transmission I needed for the car. The taco truck sitting in front of this place is sooo good. If you ever happen to find yourself at this Pick-n-Pull you must try the taco truck it’s fire. I give Pick-n-Pull four stars but that taco truck is a definite five stars all the way across the board

There’s a reason this yard has a 3.6 star rating where as the other yards throughout Southern California have a higher rating. They love to overcharge for pieces, and if you strip it down to a smaller form, they’ll still try to charge you for the full piece. A dash panel, according to their system is the complete dash, which they charge $77.99. When you buy the full dash panel this is what you’re paying for. If I pull the dash pad, or a panel that is able to be separated from dash, you should be paying the $25.99 for a dash pad as it’s not the full dash panel. I bought numerous pieces off dash panels like the piece I was trying to buy today and have had it charged as molding by foot or as dash pad. The same principal applies to other parts like seats. They have a dedicated ring up for 1/2 seat but will still try charging you for the full seat. This yard is extremely greedy and will try to rob you left and right. Go to Ontario, San Bernardino, Fontana or Rialto yard if you prefer quality customer service and competent management. **P.S. bought the part a sister location, same piece that they wanted to charge $100 for and even after explaining the item to the cashier they rung it up as a bezel. Go to a yard that actually works with you and understands not all parts are identical**

They give you a cheap receipt, they don’t track your warranty.When you buy one it’s like they want you to lose the receipt.So you can’t get your warranty used to have a good rewards to keep track system.Now they don’t. That’s why I like to buy my partner.Another junkyard, where they don’t charge you for a warranty. 60 days You pick you pull Junk yard better

Update: the admission has more than doubled, now $5 to get in. Parts prices seemed to have tripled. All locations go by the same pricing index. Other location wanted to charge me $456 for a cracked bumper cover. Extra for license plate holder. Extra for 1 busted fog light & extra for the 18 inch foam insert. This place has a good Size yard. They sit on 3 different levels. So be ready to climb up those hills. Important note: you need to know where your car is located. The app is good, but NO internet reception or very slow if you can connect. You really do not want to be walking up and down those hills to many times. They strip these cars down pretty fast. So a lot of parts are already gone. They keep the yard fairly clean. Parking lot is big. They have a glass shop in the parking lot. Prices are much higher than before. Think it’s to cover the damage people do. Like cut the quarter panel, slice the wiring harness & break the windshield just to get the cigarette lighter. *UPDATE* 4/25 nothing has changed. Still over priced. Messy yard, you still need to be in shape to get up to the upper levels, pulling your cart.

Lots of nice cars but they’re charging a premium and referencing ebay listings for parts you pull yourself in the desert heat. Then they will try to charge you extra for pieces to the same part you just pulled.

I really contemplated on posting this review because normally the experience here is good, however today it was just terrible. I just can’t believe the service I received from the cashier today!!! After sweating to get up to the 3rd level, I pulled a part that took some time to remove (not easy). When I got to the cashier it was a girl that I have never seen there before. She was the one with a large birth mark on her face. After an exhausting part pull I went to her at the register (she was the only one), and she began to start arguing with me about what part I had. It was amusing that she didn’t even know what I had anyhow as she kept scrolling through her computer trying to figure it out for 5 minutes. Note, I have purchased this same part multiple times over the year at this location, with different cashiers. She claimed the lock actuator I had was a «chassis control computer!» No way in the world does this little actuator motor with a single 3/8″ connector be classified as a chassis computer! It doesn’t control anything, it actually gets told by a computer to lock or unlock it’s motor actuator! I kindly explained how it functions and she didn’t believe the ASE master technician I am. She began her belittling attitude, then I kindly asked to confirm with the other gentlemen there (one that’s a manager (Juan), and the other that’s a normal cashier (which has worked in the Nissan Parts dept. for many years, this being a Nissan part he always knows exactly what it is). She said nobody’s available. Then to my surprise, she began to belittle the other cashiers, and the knowledgeable male cashier I normally see. She stated that they Did Not Know what the part was, and that I was always undercharged. Hmmm…very interesting, because I forgot to mention the other Female cashiers charge the same as the Men too. Between the terrible customer service, and her not knowing what the part was, I left the part on the counter and walked away exhausted. Go ahead and recycle it off as scrap metal, because I was about to buy it for what it’s worth. Overall this Female cashier needs to be trained on customer service, parts identification, and to simply be able to uphold the reputation of the company by not talking down fellow «More Experienced» employees. Belittling customers is one thing, but to belittle your fellow employees really makes me not want to go back!

The employees are very friendly and knowledgeable. They are patient and provide detailed information. In all my years visiting the location, I have never had a bad experience. My husband and I make it a date once in a while. It’s fun finding the parts and meeting helpful individuals as well!

Easy access to find your part. They will give you a list and a map to show the locations of the car make you are looking for. You should be in decent physical shape to shop here in the summer heat. No shade, dusty and hot.

The employees here are pretty chill. I don’t like that they dont update the website regularly. It’ll go 2-3 days before updates. And by time they do update the inventory the cars already have the parts you are looking for gone. Its very frustrating. I often find myself just driving all the way out to Sun valley for parts.

I find so much of my automobile needs here and have saved a tremendous amount of money. My go-to guy is Trent, he is so kind and very helpful. All of the stuff is great and are very hard workers. I will continue to use them whenever I can save a dime. The help to keep my hard earm money in my savings. Go Bakersfield team go!!! 🙌🥳🎉

I’d like to recognize Johnathan at Pick-Your-Part for his excellent customer service today. My husband had to step away for a work meeting, and I needed assistance getting a wheelbarrow with an engine in it up to the front to complete our purchase. Although he wasn’t obligated to help, Johnathan kindly assisted me the entire way. Considering how heavy engines are and the fact that it was cold, windy, and rainy, his willingness to help truly stood out. I sincerely appreciate his effort and professionalism.
