Parts Galore
11360 E 8 Mile Rd
313-245-2944
Parts Galore opened its self-service yard on East 8 Mile Road in 2005 and bills itself as Detroit's original and largest. Cars sit on stands in rows organized by manufacturer, customers bring their own tools and pull their own parts, and every part of a given type costs the same whatever the make or model. The yard hands out engine hoists and wheelbarrows free and sells tool sets to anyone who forgot theirs. Parts carry a 45-day exchange, with store credit rather than cash refunds. Jacks, torches, and grinders are banned, and entry closes 30 minutes before the yard does. Parts Galore also buys running and non-running cars when the seller holds the title, and it sells used tires, reconditioned batteries, and cheap used cars. It opens seven days a week.

Battery Recycling in Detroit: FAQ
Will a scrap yard in Detroit, MI pay for car batteries?
Most scrap yards buy lead-acid car batteries by the pound or per battery. Auto parts stores usually take them free and may refund a core charge.
How should I store batteries before recycling?
Tape the terminals of lithium and 9-volt batteries or bag each one separately. Loose lithium batteries can short and start fires in bins and trucks.
Can I throw household batteries in the trash?
Alkaline batteries are legal to trash in most states, but rechargeable and lithium batteries are not. Recycling all of them is the safe choice.
