Hey Queens neighbors! How well do you know these hidden treasures (or potential disasters) in our borough’s junkyards? Let’s venture into the realm of auto salvages and discuss our encounters with junk yards in Queens.

Several days ago I required a rare auto component and the local junked yard turned out to be an unexpected goldmine. The selection was diverse, and the prices were incomparable. Has any of you encountered such cases or found bizarre findings in junkyards of the Queens?

Complementing that, I’ve heard stories of people getting in more trouble than treasure – crooked businesses doing shady things and whatnot. Any warnings or lessons that were gathered from navigating the wrecking yards in our place?

Let’s bring together a list of recommended junkyards, provide some guidelines on what to look for and perhaps even initiate treasure hunts in which one could find rare car parts or DIY projects. Indeed, one man’s trash might be another man’s car gold!
