What clients say about Riverside Salvage Inc in St. Louis (MO)
I didn't have a good experience here but just because I didn't have a good experience there doesn't mean you wont. Im just going to stick with Taylor's salvage yard from now on
Great place only junkyard I know of that doesn't charge an entry fee most places are up to 2$. Lat time i was there I found 2 dohc 4.6 motors ( same motor thats in the mustang cobra) one a 98 in a Lincoln mark 8 and 1 in a 03 Lincoln aviator 250$ and they take them out
Best junkyard in the StL area. Great prices, good selection and excellent people to work with. Danny, Jesse, & Bubba are some of the nicest guys on the planet. That said, dont act a fool in their yard. Be respectful and youll receive the same in return. Only warning; park INSIDE the gates when possible. MUCH safer.
It's a junk yard and they pull the parts for you or you can pull them yourself. Find your make and model tell them where it is and what you want off of it, pay at the booth and they bring the part to you. Good luck hunting...
Great prices friendly staff
If you need a car part just grab your tools and do it yourself!! They also have some parts pulled like starter & alternator just bring your old one to match it up!! Still 5 stars for me

Found 2 vans with the part I needed. Best price in town & grabbed it in less than 10 minutes. Been picking here for years. Can't think of any complaints!
Riverside Salvage is hands down the best auto salvage in the area. They have a good selection of vehicles, their prices are cheaper than their competitors. The guy that works check out is super cool & laid back. Plus they don't make pay a bs fee to get into the yard. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for somewhere to get used parts !
I love this lot. The guy running it is a mechanic himself and knows what to stock. I'm a Chevy 5.3 enjoyer and he always has good trucks to pick from. You do your own wrenching on this lot, or for big parts they will load you up. I've never left empty handed and I'm always happy with the price.
Good people, helped right away, convenient location, affordable low prices. I tend to get a sensation from places that are on the land that dates back to the beginning of St.Louis history so it's more of an experience than just picking up some parts. Go check it out and see for yourself.
Love this place! I haven't been here in a few years since I moved away from St Louis. As soon as I moved back I made it a mission to check it out. Last time I came here, they was charging a $1 to get in, but thank God they stopped doing that. So, it's free to get in. They have all the cars very well organized and I found pretty much what I was looking for on my 02 Ford Taurus. I spotted 4 great tires on another Taurus, but didn't have the money at the time to get them. I'm going back tomorrow to hopefully get them off if they're not gone. They only charge $22 a wheel with the tire. You can't beat that price anywhere. I would highly recommend going here, if just to walk around and check out what they have. I've always loved going to junk yards because you can always find something you need. And the prices can't be beat.
Been buying from Riverside for over 30 years. Very nice folks to deal with. They don't try to nickel and dime you to death like their competition down the street does. Jesse and Dan always treat me right.
The place is great the office guys Dan,Art and Kyle are good people and cpl yard guys are awesome they will help you if they have the time and the prices are very reasonable compared to pick n pull ! This is the place to go ! Its my first choice every time! I appreciate all the hard work you guys do and the respect i get when im there .
Ok place. Prices are ok. Parking is so so. People seem nice. Wheel barrows are always around. Not the biggest yard. Place is pretty organized and cars are spaced apart. Closed on Sundays.
Block from the over priced and over fee Pick and Pull. Right by the tracks.
I think cash only. Prices are not listed so you have to ask. Never had any issues with them. Related to Taylors Auto Salvage which is also cash only. I like them too and Speedway. Hate dealing with 111 as do most.
