wrecking yards
Vehicle salvage lots
Wrecking yards are facilities where damaged, derelict, or end-of-life vehicles are dismantled for parts or scrapped for metal.
Also called junkyards, salvage yards, or auto salvage yards.
Usable components—engines, transmissions, body panels—are sold to repair shops or individuals seeking affordable replacements: I found a door panel at the wrecking yard for half the dealer price.
