Driving to four yards to ask whether anyone has your part is the old way to do it. Some yards publish a live inventory you can search by year, make and model before leaving home — that is what this list is for. Inventory turns over fast: most self-service lots crush cars 30-45 days after they arrive, so a hit you find online is worth calling about the same day.

Good to know
Can you check junkyard inventory online?
At some yards, yes — chains and larger independents publish a searchable inventory updated as cars arrive on the lot. Smaller yards often keep inventory only in a counter system, so a phone call is still the fastest route. This list flags the yards that say they offer online search.
How long do cars stay in a self-service yard?
Commonly 30 to 45 days, after which the remaining shell is crushed and sold for scrap. That is why an online listing is time-sensitive: a car that showed up last week may be gone by the end of the month.
