Exclamation Anyone know of a junkyard/salvage yard in LA? Need replacement bumpers

Hey guys,
Do anyone know of any junkyards or salvage yards in Los Angeles, particularly anything in/around the San Fernando Valley area?

My back bumpers got some dents and my front bumpers have some nasty scrapes. Additionally, my passenger visor is broken. I would like to go to a junkyard/salvage yard and try to get replacements for cheap.

Thanks, and please let me know.


Regards,
Joe G

this is the spot to go to in the valley and you might be in luck because i called late last week looking for bsp bumpers and they said that they had a grayish looking front and rear bumper which i know is flint mica.

Sun Valley is definitely the place to go. Aside from the dozen auto dismantlers there they also have a Pick U Parts.

Pick U Part sucks, mostly 1990-era cars or older. I will have to try Toyota World. Are they open on weekends, too?

So I dropped by Toyota World and met with the owner Joe. They definitely have some great deals. The Flint Mica bumper, unfortunately, has been sold, so I'll check in next week. He said he'll sell it for $100. Is that a good deal?

I also replaced both my visors. I got both of them for $40 altogether. Each one would have retailed for about $80 at the dealership =D
