Wrecking Yards in San Bernardino California

San Bernardino is the eastern end of the Inland Empire salvage trade, and prices here tend to sit below what the same part costs closer to the coast.

Walnut Street and Waterman

Most of the yards we list sit in 92410 around Walnut Street, Waterman Avenue and 6th Street, with a couple more over in 92411 on Vernon Avenue and 4th Street. Neither group is large, but they are close enough together to cover in one trip.

Why people drive out here

Inland yards generally run cheaper than the LA basin on the same part, and they see a different mix of vehicles. More trucks, more older metal, fewer of the European cars that fill the harbor yards. If you are chasing something for a work truck rather than a commuter, that mix is in your favor.

Coming from LA, it is worth combining a trip out here with the Fontana and Rialto yards along the I-10 rather than making the drive for one quote.

Getting a price worth having

Call two or three before committing. These wrecking yards quote against their own shelf, and with a smaller group the variation between them can be wider rather than narrower. Ask what the warranty is at the same time.

Combine it with the corridor

Coming from LA, take in Fontana and Rialto on the same trip along the I-10. One drive covering three clusters is what makes the Inland Empire worth leaving the basin for.
