Los Angeles accounts for 5.3% of the auto salvage yards in California. The ZIP codes with the most junkyards and storage lots are 90058 (7), 90001 (5), 90033 (4). Addresses come from federal EPA records, which don't guarantee a yard is still open or what it buys, so call before you drive over: hours, prices and what each yard buys or sells vary.

Got towed in Los Angeles?
