Junkyards, also known as scrapyards, salvage yards, or wrecking yards are places where abandoned or damaged vehicles and other items are disassembled and sold for their individual parts. These yards are a popular destination for auto enthusiasts and professional mechanics searching for hard-to-find car parts. In addition to cars, you may also find appliances, furniture, and other miscellaneous items in a junkyard. Salvage yards may also be called demolition yards, wrecking yards, or auto graveyards, depending on the region. Ultimately, no matter what they're called, these scrapyards offer a treasure trove of parts and items for those with an eye for the unique or a need for spare parts.
