Junkyards & Auto Salvage in Iowa

Bell Salvage

507 Freel Drive

(515) 232-9372

Mon-Fri 8:00 am-5:00 pm, closed Sat and Sun; last load accepted at 4:30 pm

Iowa law requires every appliance to be demanufactured, and Bell Salvage handles that step with DNR-certified demanufacturers who remove the hazardous components from metal appliances. The Ames yard has been family and locally owned since 1989, licensed and insured, and buys ferrous and non-ferrous scrap from junk cars, motor blocks, and farm machinery to copper, brass, radiators, insulated wire, stainless steel, and catalytic converters. A large truck scale weighs the truck and trailer together, and an indoor scale keeps small loads out of the weather. New accounts are welcome, and the last load is accepted at 4:30 p.m. Homeowners and contractors also rent 20, 30, and 40 cubic yard roll-off containers with drop-off and pickup.

712-542-5316

Frank Snyder opened Snyder's Auto Body in Clarinda in the fall of 1973 with one employee and two bays. A wrecker bought in 1976 added towing, and the abandoned vehicles filling the impound lot led to a used parts business. His son Tom joined full time in 1980, and the family business now employs nine. Collision repair, custom paint and color matching, frame alignment, auto glass replacement, and insurance estimates and claims fill the body shop side. The used parts inventory covers older vehicles, and the shop sources new parts through its network when a recycled one is not in stock.
