About Contla
Stand at 6511 N Shepherd and three more parts counters sit a tenth of a mile away: S S Used Auto Parts, Pickup Parts and Spacecity Autoparts and Trucks. That makes this salvage yard an easy add to a run up N Shepherd. TDLR lists its recycler license as active until April 10, 2027. Hours didn't surface anywhere we checked, and it keeps inventory and prices to itself.
