Stop Walking the Rows: Yard Map, Parts Search and Car Buying for Salvage Yards

Mythex builds a salvage yard a searchable map of every vehicle by row, a parts list with interchange and condition, a cash-for-cars form that asks about title and collection, and a wanted list that flags matching cars as they arrive. Describe your yard, try it in a live preview, and publish it with a real database so the counter answers calls without a walk.

Knowing what sits where

A yard buys wrecked and end-of-life vehicles, drains and strips them, sells parts at the counter or lets customers pull their own, and crushes the shell when it has earned what it can. All day the phone rings with "do you have a 2012 Civic?" and someone walks the rows to look. The row map is on paper, the interchange book on a shelf, the scrap ledger in another office, and title paperwork in a filing cabinet. Every one of those is a record problem. The yard needs each car logged with VIN and row the day it is set out, pulled parts tracked against it, and purchases recorded with the documents your rules require.

• Vehicle log with VIN, arrival date and row position
• Pulled parts with shelf, donor vehicle, mileage and grade
• Interchange so a part shows under every model it fits
• Seller paperwork scanned onto each purchase
• Wanted lists matched against new arrivals
• Parts revenue per vehicle to decide when to crush

What you can build for salvage yards

A yard map the counter can search

Each vehicle is logged with VIN, make, model, year, arrival date and row and position when it is set out. Pulled parts are tracked by shelf, donor vehicle and condition, and marked sold when pulled so they are not promised twice. Crushed cars come off the map and are closed, so the search stays honest.

Build an inventory app for my salvage yard. Log each vehicle with VIN, make, model, year, arrival date and row and position. Track pulled parts by shelf location, donor vehicle, mileage and condition grade, mark parts sold, and close vehicles when crushed so they leave the yard map.

A new arrivals list people check daily

Publish a search of vehicles on the yard by make, model and year with row and arrival date. Self-service customers check it every morning for the model they need. A sell-your-car page explains what you pay for, what paperwork is needed and how collection works, and self-service rules, entry fees, tools and safety gear, are listed clearly.

Make a website for my salvage yard with a public search of vehicles on the yard by make, model and year showing row and arrival date, a new arrivals page, self-service rules with entry fee and tool and safety requirements, parts warranty and return policy, and a sell your car page.

Car buying quotes that expire

A seller form asks for vehicle details, whether there is a title, whether it runs or rolls, the collection address and photos. Your quote takes into account weight, model and saleable parts, deducts collection by distance and carries a short validity date, because scrap prices move.

Create a quote app for buying vehicles at my salvage yard. Sellers enter make, model, year, title status, whether it runs or rolls, location and photos. I quote based on weight and saleable parts, deduct collection by distance, and every quote expires after 7 days and cannot be accepted after that.

Wanted lists that sell parts before the car hits the row

Requests you could not fill are logged with the model and part. When a matching car is logged, the app lists everyone waiting. Trade buyers such as repair shops and rebuilders have purchase history, and scrap buyers and tow partners are kept as supplier contacts.

Build a CRM for my salvage yard with a wanted parts list by make, model, year and part, and when I log a new vehicle show matching requests to call. Track trade buyers with purchase history and keep scrap buyers and tow partners as suppliers.

Used parts online with the real photo

Each listing shows a photo of the actual part, the donor vehicle and mileage, a condition grade, and the models it fits. Engines and transmissions offer freight or pickup instead of parcel, and core charges apply where the old unit has value.

Create an online store for used car parts from my salvage yard. Each part has photos of the actual item, donor vehicle, mileage, condition grade and compatible vehicles. Engines and gearboxes are pickup or freight only, and some parts carry a core charge. Card payments go through my own payment provider account.

Parts invoices, purchase records and scrap by weight

Parts invoices show the part, donor vehicle and warranty period. Vehicle purchase records keep the seller's identity and documents as your rules require, with scans stored privately. Scrap sales are invoiced by weight and grade.

Make an invoicing app for a salvage yard with parts invoices showing donor vehicle and warranty, vehicle purchase records with seller details and private uploads of title and ID, and scrap metal invoices by weight and grade.

Paperwork and seller documents

Buying a vehicle without the right paperwork can create real trouble. Record the seller's documents on every purchase, keep copies as private uploads visible only to staff, and ask Mythex to block a purchase from being completed until the required fields are filled. What you must keep, and for how long, depends on where you operate, so check the rules that apply to your yard.

What to log on day one

Start with the vehicles already set out: VIN, model, year and row. That alone answers most phone calls. Add each new car the day it arrives, then pulled parts as they come off. When the log is complete, the public search, the wanted-list matching and parts revenue per vehicle all work from the same records.

• Every car on the rows with VIN and position
• New arrivals logged the same day
• Pulled parts linked to their donor
