About Austin Wrench A Part

One dollar buys a full day of entry here, good at this yard only. Bring hand tools and battery-powered tools (Sawzalls included), but leave jacks, jack stands, torches and grinders at home. Wheelbarrows, wagons and engine-pulling A-frames cost nothing. The gate runs 9 to 5:30 every day, Sundays too. Nobody under 18 gets in, closed-toe shoes are a must, and a 2% environmental fee lands on every purchase.

Last verified Oct 29, 2026. Also listed as Wrench-A-Part, Wrench A Part and Wap.
