About 1 Auto Salvage

Within a mile of this Montana Ave lot you'll find Andre Auto Sales & Salvage (0.6) and LKQ - El Paso (0.9). It also answers to Mab Auto. Saturdays keep the full 8:30 to 5 schedule it runs on weekdays, and Sundays are closed, by Google's count. TDLR has the recycler license active until February 7, 2027, and the counter runs cards. The EPA file pairs a current stormwater permit with zero quarters flagged out of compliance.

Last verified Oct 29, 2026. Also listed as Mab Auto.

Hours, fees and rules can change. Check with the yard before you go.
