Parts, tools & removal
Do I remove the parts myself?
Grab-a-part is a self-service yard. Bring your permitted tools, find the vehicle and remove the part you want to buy. If you would rather have help, ask yard staff about paid removal assistance. See how the yard works.
Can a staff member remove a part for me?
Yes. Yard staff provide part-removal assistance for an additional fee. The price depends on the part and the work involved; removing a headlight is different from removing an engine or transmission. Ask for a quote and agree on the price before work starts. Removal assistance is separate from the part price and admission.
Can I rent tools at the yard?
Yes. Tools are available to rent on-site for an additional fee. Ask staff about the tools you need, availability and rental pricing before starting the job.
How do I check whether you have the part I need?
Call (210) 757-0529 with your vehicle's year, make, model and the part you need before making the trip. Finding a matching vehicle does not guarantee that a particular part is still available or will fit your vehicle.
Visit the inventory page for search options and current availability information.
What is a core charge?
Some parts have a separate core charge associated with the old part. Ask staff which parts qualify and confirm the return conditions before buying. Read about core charges.
Where can I check prices and return or warranty terms?
Visit the parts price page and confirm current pricing with staff. Ask about any applicable core charge, taxes and additional services. Before purchasing, confirm the return and warranty terms that apply to your part.
Planning your visit
How much does it cost to enter?
Admission is $1 per person, every visit. Each time you come back, a new $1 admission fee applies. Parts, core charges, tool rentals and removal assistance are separate.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit cards, debit cards and cash.
Do military members and first responders get a discount?
Yes. Military members and first responders receive 15% off with a valid ID presented. Thank you for your service.
Where are you, and what are your hours?
Find us at 874 CR 5715, Natalia, TX 78059. Monday–Friday hours are 8:00 am – 5:00 pm; Saturday hours are 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. We are closed on Sundays and major holidays. All hours are Central Time.
Do I need to complete a waiver?
Yes. Review the required entry waiver and follow staff instructions to complete it and check in before entering the yard. Read the entry waiver.
What should I bring, and can children enter?
Bring your vehicle details, payment, permitted tools or a plan to rent, appropriate eye protection and closed-toe footwear. Call ahead about written age and entry requirements for anyone under 18. Review the yard rules and follow staff instructions.
Selling your car
Do you buy cars that no longer run?
Yes. We buy running and non-running cars, subject to staff review. Call with the year, make, model, condition and location, and let us know about damage or missing parts. Learn about selling your car.
Can you pick up the car, and what does pickup cost?
Pickup is available. The cost varies by location, so our team will confirm availability and pricing with you before arrangements are made.
Do I need a title to sell my car?
For a titled sale, the title must be in your name. If you do not have the title, call our team before arranging a sale. Staff must review eligibility and the required ownership paperwork; acceptance is not automatic. See our no-title guidance and official form for the limited exception.
How much will you offer, and how will I be paid?
Our team reviews the vehicle details and discusses an offer with you. We currently pay sellers in cash. Confirm the offer, any pickup charge and the required paperwork before handing over the vehicle.
