Salvage Yards near Buffalo / Niagara Falls NY

Post by fazool »

Best place is J&J Auto on Bailey Avenue in Buffalo. I've used them for 20+ years. They specialize in imports and always have plenty of Volvo's. Depending on their mood and if they know you, you can pick-n-pull self-serve most parts. Pricing is good too.


Stay away from Vince's in Lockport NY. I just called them looking for an 850 MAF and a grill while I was there. You aren';t allowed in their yard anymore. They want $100 for the grill and $125 for the MAF. Considering entire hoods are $30 at any PnP (with Grill attached) and MAF's are about $10-$20, this place doesn't deserve anyone's salvage business, IMO.

I've had plenty of luck with M-n-M on WIlliam St. in Cheektowaga as well. You may not know, but they'll print out a list of every Volvo in the lot, with row #'s, model/year/color.

Ya, I stoppe din there again today but the S80 I wanted to get an air deflector from was gone.

They are owned by Mark's next door. I think Mark's removes and warehouses all the high-demand or high-value parts then they drag cars over here to let folks pick over, then they flatten them and load them on the rail cars.

I didn't get any of the big parts I needed today but I did get a small baggie of switch, brake line, intake hose, sunroof bellows all for $3.50
