What types of tools can I bring on the yard?

To remove parts from the vehicles, you'll need to bring the appropriate tools with you. If you’re unsure of what to bring, please check with your local mechanic. 

  • We don't allow torches, grinders or jacks on the yard. For safety reasons we don’t allow anyone to bring lead acid batteries (i.e. car and motorcycle batteries) and cans full of gas out to the display yard.
  • We DO allow small generators (gas or battery - extra gas tanks are not allowed on the yard, so be sure it's full before coming out!) battery powered tools and jumper boxes to help get the job done faster. 

We make every effort to set cars safely, including welding the two wheels together that make up stands that we set the cars on. We supply an A-Frame and Hoist to assist in the removal of an engine or a transmission and if you need help in moving larger items please ask the store for assistance and we will be happy to try and help.

We also have wheelbarrows - free of charge - available at all locations. You may also bring your own!

While we allow customers to bring their own tools to the yard for the purposes of removing used auto parts they are interested in purchasing, we do NOT allow customers to work on their personal vehicles at ANY of our locations. This includes our parking lots or any other areas at our stores. Making any repairs or performing any vehicle maintenance at our locations is strictly prohibited.
