Could anyone tell me where I can find a salvage yard in the chicago area? I've tried the yellow pages and the internet and can't really find anyplace other than the "Victory Auto Wreckers" that is advertised on TV. I know there's a place in Aurora, but can't remember the name or where it is.

thanks

B-

need a 97+ left taillight and some other stuff
 
Theres the two places near Joliet across the street from each other...

I can't remember what highway they're on...

Is it what Ogden turns into?

Skip Victory... Crap for selection

Theres a nice new place in Chicago on Division just west of Cicero...

I'm sure someone will chime in from the SW burbs...
 
I have not found ANYWHERE is the West 'burbs with a decent Jeep selection. That said...

2 in Lemont, of Hwy 83 and the river.
Plainfield, Spiecher Wrecking off Rt 126

Good luck. You may have better luck asking here for what you need.

Thanks - I know the places you're talking about, but can't seem to find them online or in the phone books. are they technically in Joliet?- I'd like to call ahead before I burn the gas to get down there.

I'm looking for a driver's side taillight and a plastic ccv elbow for the valve cover. I can find the taillight online for $20-40 plus an insane amount for shipping, but I can't find that little plastic piece anywhere but the dealer- hoping I can find a doner.

thanks again for your help

They are not in Joliet. I forget the names, but if you are in Lisle, its only 30min MAX to any of these, take the drive. None of these places are going to want to hike thru thier non-computerized yards to find a little part.

Call Ted at Lou's Jeep Sales in Geneva (on Roosevelt 38) CCV grommets and tubes are about $7-$12. He WILL have the stuff. If any of you ever need parts a dealer cant get, call TED.

Sorry, got one with a couple holes in it.
Damn jealous husbands.
 
I have not found ANYWHERE is the West 'burbs with a decent Jeep selection

you're right about that. I finally got some time and checked out the two places across from eachother on 83 ( there's a third place just north of the canal.) between the three they had maybe four XJ's, all pre-HO, so no help to me.

might check Aurora tomorrow, but not gonna get my hopes up looks like internet is the way to go. (guy at "goodparts" the place on the east side of the highway said he could order me a taillight for $75- I think they're only $85 from the dealer)

anyway, thanks for all the help MWC-

I know there is one in Elgin off of Bluff City Blv. I can't think of the name but its right off of Rt. 20. Last time I was there they had a bunch of XJs ranging from 85 to 99 but that was about a month ago.
 
I think I heard on the radio on the drive home that there's a fire going on at one of those salvage yards on rt 83...

Ever heard of www.car-part.com?

Put in your part, and location and they list all the sources in several different methods. Their list of yards looks real, REAL close to the TIJA list.
Tried that but the yard has to have a computerized inventory, and it has to be up to date to get good results.

City auto wreckers in Aurora is part of the car-part,com list.

I really just wanted a place I could wander around and if I see anything I like, buy it.

tried finding info on a fire at one of those places, nothing on the news about it yet. - any one of those places on rt 83 would burn to the ground real fast. If you seen them you know what I mean.
 
There are two yards in Lockport on Route 171. One is T&S and the other I believe is Southwest Salvage. I went to T&S last week, and told him I needed some emissions lines for my Jeep and he said there were a few in the lot. I went and walked around with no problems. They had a few XJs there, maybe 2 newer ones, and 5 or 6 older ones.
