Recycling centers in Milwaukee

Used parts have been the business at Ace Auto Salvage on South 43rd Street in Milwaukee since 1974. The yard sells engines and transmissions, body parts and auto glass, mechanical, electrical, and suspension parts, and used tires, with a parts inventory search on its site and a parts warranty. The same lot buys junk cars. Ace pays cash and includes towing, with same-day or next-day pickup for most vehicles, and takes running and non-running cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, commercial vehicles, and flood-damaged or totaled vehicles. Offers weigh year, make, model, condition, mileage, current scrap prices, and parts demand. Crews drain fluids, reuse parts, and send the metal on for processing.
