What we pull
Used engines, transmissions, wheels, doors and more, pulled and tagged in our own yard.
Everything on these shelves came off a vehicle at 450 S. 11th Street. Call the counter with your year, make and model and we will check what we have before you drive over.
We are a truck and auto parts yard on Milwaukee's near south side. Engines and transmissions are the most common call, and we also rack doors and body panels outdoors, number every wheel on the rack, and keep hubs, rotors, alternators and starters sorted by type. If a part is not listed below, call the counter. It may still be on a shelf or on a vehicle in the yard.
Motors & trans
Engines and transmissions
A used engine or transmission makes sense when the rest of the car or truck is worth keeping and the motor has a spun bearing or the transmission is slipping. We pull whole units out of vehicles in our own yard, tag them and stage them on pallets rather than shipping them in from somewhere else.
Call the counter with the year, make and model of your vehicle and we will match it against what is on the pallets. Repeat buyers come back to us for motors and trans year after year, because we tell you over the phone whether we have it before you make the trip.

Wheels, hubs and rotors
A bent rim or a seized hub usually means a trip to the yard rather than a parts counter that only stocks new. Our wheels are racked and hand-numbered, and hubs and brake rotors sit on their own shelving, sorted separately from the wheels themselves.
Bring the bolt pattern and the wheel size when you call, or read them off the old wheel if it is still on the car. We will match it before you come out so you are not carrying a wheel back and forth.

Doors & panels
Doors and body panels
After a hit, a color-matched or paintable door, fender, hood or tailgate off a salvage vehicle can save a lot over a new panel. We rack them outdoors by type and pull them to order once you call ahead.
One customer needed a matching door for a 2012 Chrysler 200. We had it on the rack, and two of the crew took it off and loaded it onto his truck the same visit. That's how most of our panels leave the yard.

Alternators and starters
A charging problem or a no-crank fault is often an alternator or starter, and a used unit pulled from a running donor vehicle is a common fix. Ours are shelved by make, with a hand-marked FOREIGN aisle set apart from the domestic shelving.
Bring the old unit with you if you can, or note the mounting and the plug on it. Every one on the shelf is tagged in grease pencil so the counter can find it fast.

Also on the shelves
Steering columns and other interior parts hang from the rafters, tagged the same way as everything else. We do not list every part we carry here. Ask the counter if you need something you don't see above.
Before you call
How to ask for a part
The more you can tell Dave at the counter, the faster he can check the shelf and the yard.
- Year, make and model of the vehicle
- The VIN, if you have it handy
- Engine size and trim level
- Any numbers stamped or printed on the old part
Call (414) 643-1189 with what you have. If it is on the shelf, we will tell you and get it ready. If it is not, we will tell you that too.
