auto salvage

Wrecked vehicle recovery

Auto salvage refers to the business or process of recovering usable parts, materials, and metals from damaged, wrecked, or end-of-life vehicles.

An auto salvage yard—also called a junkyard or wrecking yard—is where such vehicles are stored, dismantled, and sold for parts or scrap.

The term also applies to vehicles themselves that have been declared total losses by insurers but retain some recoverable value.

I found a replacement fender at the auto salvage for half the dealer price.
