Based on recent feedback, Kar Parts in Inman, SC earns 89/100. Sentiment is largely positive: friendly, family-run staff, fast help, and great prices. Shoppers praise the vast, old-school yard (50+ acres), wide inventory from classic cars to tools and household items, and the option to pull your own parts or get help. Organization is rustic—expect to explore—but workers can point you to what you need. Common complaints: poor phone responsiveness, an instance of being turned away before closing, and mixed scrap payouts (some happy, others disappointed). Overall, value and selection stand out.
Don't waste your time with scrap copper at this location. I made the mistake of weighing my copper without asking the price first. I went because it was close to my house. Every other place around is offering over 4 dollars a pound. They gave me 2.20 for #1 which is an absolute rip off. Take the time to drive somewhere else!
Horrible experience.
Called ahead of time and told the woman what I needed. Let her know that I would be coming after work. Got here 34 minutes before closing just to get a mirror and tail light. Owner sent me away because he had to leave at 5 which wasn’t for 34 minutes. It wouldn’t have taken me 10 minutes to get what I needed. Why have me drive all the way here to turn me away? Told me to come back tomorrow. Wasted my time and gas for NOTHING! Will never recommend or try to come here again.
Stopped by today to see if they’d be willing to take a car for scrap but had no way to haul it to them. They went above and beyond my expectations to come by and grab it today after they had closed. They were friendly as ever and I will be back again to pick parts.
This place is a hidden gem! If you're looking for older car parts- then Kar Parts is a stop you don't want to pass by. Wear some boots, bring a bottle of water and your tool bag and explore. There's about 50 acres and its big- you just have to get out and look, this is true old school cool. Been here a few times and it's a great spot for stuff 90s and older. Especially 80s and older. If you're looking for some Chevy and Ford truck parts, there's plenty of that here. However, there's also a wide mix of other stuff- dating all the way back to the 1940s. This is a scrap yard too, so there's alot of activity on the metal scrapping side as well. You got to go out and look though- because there's trails all over. Stuff is hiding all through here, even behind some rows in there's sometimes cars and trucks mixed among trees. Friendly and laid back people that treat you right.
They have everything imaginable just about, for sale. Best prices and wonderful owners. Billy and Mandy Bishop are real great people Car parts household things pits pans silverware and everything in between woodstove, aluminum rods bars anyway it can be made, steel in every way it can be made for jobsite.

They have skis , waterboards, tools, machines, odds and ends of everything it seems . You can spend days here looking at stuff
Very unprofessional, extremely rude on the phone, I called and asked what they pay for batteries and the guy said $6.00 for large ones and hang up the phone. Didn't say thank you, by, go to hell or nothing, he just hang up.

It's a great place to come. The people are helpful as they can be. The owner bends over backwards as does everyone there to make you feel comfortable and help you get what you need for the least money. I would tell anyone to go see Billy Bishop and his family and friends there. You will get what you need and Billy has let things go to need people too.
Kar parts is a hidden Gem of a junkyard/scrap yard of SC. I absolutely love going there for used auto parts. Prices are unbeatable, and it is family owned by a family that has been in the area for generations. If you are used to the more modern junkyards you will have a slight xulture shock to kar parts. Its "old school" bit to me thats the beauty of it. But dont worry they know what they have and will piont in the right direction to get wbat you are looking for. But be careful.. I always leave with more stuff then what i originally go there for.... They have so much. Good luck have fun, and tell Billy amd the gang i said HI!
Great people to do business with. Great price on the work and it was done promptly. I can assure you if you show up with all the parts required and know what you want done they will have it done as soon as possible. Even if you don't have the parts they will get them as quickly as possible to get you back riding in your car. I will definitely be back in the future and will suggest them to amy friends or family that need a good company to work on there car that won't screw them over. Thanks Scott to you and your staff!
