Subie Recycler

10474 W. 38th Ave

Subie Recycler has dismantled only Subarus since 2008, and owner Allen still answers many of the texts himself. The Wheat Ridge operation began by parting out a handful of cars and listing only the cleanest, tested components, and grew into a Subaru-only dismantler that also buys Subarus. Orders start with a text giving year, model, engine size, and part. Large pieces such as engines, transmissions, doors, hoods, and bumpers are stored at the Wheat Ridge facility and held for local pickup once stock is confirmed. Smaller shippable parts like sensors, ECUs, and modules are sold through an eBay store, and new service parts such as timing components, gasket kits, and water pumps sit in a separate online shop. A parts-cars blog tracks current tear-downs.
