About Pablo's Scrap Metal & Used Auto Parts
Scrap metal moves both ways at this La Nutria Rd yard: its Google profile says it buys and sells it, and it runs a wrecker service as well. Some listings call it Discount Used Auto Parts. TDLR has its parts recycler license active until May 10, 2027. Weekdays run 8 to 5, Saturday stops at 2, Sunday stays closed, and it takes cards. EPA does not show a current stormwater permit for the site.
Last verified Oct 29, 2026. Also listed as Discount Used Auto Parts and Pablos Scrap Metal & Used Auto Parts.
Hours, fees and rules can change. Check with the yard before you go.
