AAA Crains Auto Salvage, Fort Worth TX: License, Hours, Records

About AAA Crains Auto Salvage

No gate charge at this Van Horn Ave pick-and-pull, its Google profile says, so your money goes to parts instead of admission. Rather not turn wrenches? Pullers on site will take a part off for a small fee, the profile adds. Doors open at 8 on weekdays and close at 6; Saturday runs 9 to 4, and cards work. The yard's TDLR recycler license stays valid through July 14, 2027, and EPA has the stormwater permit up to date.

Last verified Oct 29, 2026.

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