Buddy's U Pull Used Auto Parts in
Springfield (MO)

My go to spot for my car needs. Easy to get in, car part pricing is affordable, and it’s well maintained.

Ive been going to buddys for at least 10 years now for all kinds of car parts, never had an issues. Just be warned, they tell you when you buy parts from them to save the receipt incase a refund is needed, but they actually do not do any returns of any kind. Please make sure you grt what you need 110% or youre throwing the money away, regardless of the condition of the parts.

Horrible inaccuracies in parts pricing between in person and on the phone. Standoffish staff. Nonsensical rules in regards to identification requirements.

Pretty clear and accurate on the type of business. We walked in and the service was great, the staff was helpful and assisted in making sure we could find the vehicles we were there to look at for various parts. It was a great experience overall even though we didn’t find the parts we needed but will be back again for future needs.

Love going here to dig around for spare parts for my car or future builds, prices are really reasonable as well

The owner banned me for no reason have no clue what i did. I think he is discriminating because i have darker skin

Buddy's always has the parts I need/am looking for. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful in finding what you need every time! They're also great on the phone which makes shopping in person the ultimate experience!!!

Love this place. Hand washing station. No entrance fee. Knowledgable staff and large selection. They even have a couple porta potties scattered around the yard!

Prices are a lil higher than similar establishments but overall a great place. They have a great selection to choose from with a good influx of fresh stock. Staff is understanding and cordial.

For a junkyard, they're sure proud of their parts! Don't get caught with parts in your tool bag!

Called to ask if the bed was in good shape and what length it was (short bed or long bed). Said there was know way of knowing that…really seems like some info you would keep like what is wrong with it and maybe even a bed length. That’s just standard info

I’ve used Buddy’s for years and I have usually been pleased with it. My last visit was a bait and switch though - I looked up the cost of a part online, according to their website, but when I pulled it and lugged it up to the storefront, they said the part was nearly $50 more expensive than what was advertised on their website. Be warned they may try to charge you more than their advertised price and they won’t honor the advertised prices.

Lots of options at great prices, will definitely come back if we need parts again

They had about 10 cars like mine but most stuff on them was trashed I did find some stuff that I need and would have got them but didn't know the price but still a good place

Sold me parts that couldn't be used. Due to needing to be programed but they cant be reprogrammed to be used in the car as they are one time program parts. No refund of any kinda. Just out the 75 dollars and left with two parts that can not be used. Wouldnt even do a part refund. Pretty crappy. Was even told the dealer would be able to flash them and when I called three different dealers they all said it had to be new or remanufact that it couldn't be used.

The guy I talked to was very rude over the phone asked him what a ring had pinion set cost he told me 155 for used! You can buy them brand new for 10 more dollars i wouldnt go here these people will take advantage of you and hang up on you no customer should be done that way this place has turned into a joke

Super easy to find what i’m looking for, and what i do find is always in the best condition it could be to fit inside my vehicles. the only place i’ll go when i need parts cheap!

Auto junk yard.. Plenty of inventory. At the counter they can provide general locations (by rows) of desired cars and cross reference compatible parts lists. Bring your own tools. No grinders or torches.

Bought a used motor from them that was bad and they would not honor their warranty. They even picked the motor out and pulled it for me due to me luving over an hour away. The motor was in the process of getting ready to install when I noticed it had 3 broken valves, so the motor was never installed in the car or started. They gave me the run around for a month and would not trade me out for another used motor, which would have been acceptable. I did not once ask them for a refund.

Always a great value and they have the largest selection of vehicles in the area. Plus they allow my teen son to come in with me, and he loves that! He loves looking at all the cars

First-timer...and next-timer should the need arise! Staff were top-notch. The yard was well-laid-out and easy to navigate. The taillight assembly I was after was way in the back of the yard, but the exercise was beneficial. Note that at this writing (2025.08.22) there was a 3.5% convenience fee for credit/debit card payments, but saving potentially hundreds over new retail is well worth the extra buck or three. And there was no charge to enter the yard...just present your photo ID and sign the waiver. Oh, and the taillight works!

Sold my car to them when the transmission went out. When I went to get my stuff and plates from it I didn’t have the needed tool for my rear license plate. They didn’t hesitate to come help me get it off. They picked the car up from the auto shop and the process was smooth and quick.

Has a nice clean yard with many makes and models. They organize their cars by brands so it's easy to know what area to go to. My complaints are that out of the various trucks I went to get parts from I wasn't able to get. Their website is also not up to date on the cars on the lot. I could tell because I went to the row that had the truck I was going after only to find it wasn't there. The staff were friendly to me when I was signing in and buying parts. There isn't an entrance fee so even if you don't find the parts you're looking for you only lose money from driving there. Overall a good U Pull it place.

Their inventory is not always correct and don't expect him to help me pull any parts because they won't otherwise you find what you want pull it off decent prices. I had to find parts for my Mitsubishi took 2 days to get 2 fenders buddy's wouldn't help..not very helpful

I've done business here for years without complaint , these guys know that blue collar folks generally won't go to a doctor or an auto dealer unless it's an emergency and we would rather do it ourselves. They don't price gouge but more importantly , they don't argue or show disrespect to their customers . Neat yard , orderly and easy to navigate , a hell of a walk but absolutely worth it . My old cars and I appreciate having an option.

This has become the equivalent of Disney World for me as a car guy. I’m always working on a project and Buddy’s has become my go-to. The yard is well organized and maintained exceptionally well, vs others that border on dangerous with trip-hazards left by customers. The staff are always courteous and helpful, with Buddy’s providing a great car selection and clean facilities for customers. We visit an average of 1-2 times per month and enjoy searching for the items we need. The photos provided are a handful of my personal cars that have benefited from our trips to Buddy’s.

Needed to replace a small wiring harness in my sons truck 2001 chevy s10 (also needed to locate where the wires came from) buddy's had a large selection of trucks and SUVs that had compatible parts and with the easy to locate list they provide you with I was able to find what I needed.
