Grass Valley salvage yards primarily store unwanted motor vehicles. It provides an alternative to dumping cars, trucks and other automobiles in landfills which contribute to the release of toxic gases and have the potential to pollute underground waterways. Vehicles that are stored at a salvage yard are brought in by customers. These are usually automobiles that are older or non-operational. Once the vehicle is brought in, it is assessed by an agent and then valued. The customer is then paid a small compensation which will largely depend on the general condition of the automobile, its internal parts, make, model and year. Once it is handed over, it is stored for an unspecified period or it may be pulled down immediately for its viable parts, especially if it is a popularly-driven model. After the vehicle has been pulled down for all its working parts it is then scrapped for metal.

The salvage yard presents one option for obtaining Grass Valley auto parts. These may be reparable in most instances and will be far cheaper to purchase than an item that is newly manufactured. The junk yard may have reconditioning services and provide a warranty on upgraded parts. However, regardless of the part's apparent condition, it should always be scrutinized by an independent mechanic. A customer should be able to find a wide range of parts including dashboards, steering wheels, stereos, transmissions, starters, tires, rims, bumpers, engines, alternators among many others.
