Schram Auto Parts has recycled vehicles in Michigan since 1923, when Harold Schram Sr. started scrapping cars in Pontiac and found buyers for the working parts. The Waterford yard at 2549 Dixie Highway grew to 55,000 square feet in 1998, with multiple dismantling bays and fluid reclamation systems, and it focused exclusively on late-model GM parts for over three decades before opening to all makes and models in 2005.
Major parts carry warranty coverage, a tire search runs alongside the inventory search, and over two dozen delivery trucks serve local, national, and international customers. A sell-my-car page takes vehicles from sellers. The Waterford and Mason locations are open Monday through Friday from 8 to 5:30.
