About Heles Used Auto Parts
Quarter past nine, not nine sharp, is when this Padre Island Hwy parts lot opens. It closes at 6 on weekdays and at 3 on Saturday, and skips Sunday, per Google Maps. TDLR lists its recycler license through February 21, 2027, and some records carry the name Idolina Hernandez. Frank's Auto Parts maps to the very same spot, so read the sign at the gate. Cards work, and the EPA stormwater permit stands current.
