Our 60-acre campus features over 3,000 low-mile, high-quality domestic and imported units, ten years old and newer. The Y-Yard Auto & Truck Inc is a state of the art automotive recycling center located in Effingham, Illinois. Opening our doors on July 1, 1970, the Y-Yardโ€™s massive inventory occupies over 45 acres of the companyโ€™s 60 acre business. From domestic to import, cars-trucks-vans-and SUVโ€™s, we continually strive at redefining the expectations of a recycled part. From product purchase thru the inventory process to warehousing the parts and to the point of sale, our completely computerized systems provide fast answers in the most efficient ways. We provide multiple avenues for nationwide parts locating, as well as a variety of options for state wide delivery. For over 40 years now, the Y-Yard continues to be a locally owned, locally operated business. Managed now by the second generation, the foundation of the business remains the same; a business built on hard work, honesty and integrity but the most important priority has always been customer satisfaction. For the past 42 years, the employees at the Y-Yard have always worked with the customer's best interests in mind. We would like to take this opportunity to restate our goals in trying to provide our customers with the highest level of quality and service of products. We process each and every part with pride! Provide the highest quality & description of parts. Fast, friendly service. All parts are inspected 6 times before reaching the customer. We have a massive inventory that spans over 45 acres, and expanding daily! With our dependable, on-time delivery, we deliver what we promise!

We love our community, getting involved and giving back. This month we have hosted 3 CEO tours with Effingham and Clay County. We were happy to help Blessings in a Backpack deliver 63 totes to local schools to send hundreds of meals home with students this weekend to make sure they have something available to eat. Below is an article about the DO, Diversified Occupation Program, at Teutopilis, which we have been blessed to be a part of. Effingham is a great place to live. Thank you for being so good to us and allowing us an opportunity to give.

๐ŸŽถ Workinโ€™ 9 to 5โ€ฆ well, sort of. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Around here, some start at 5, some stay past 5, and somehow we make it all work!

Hereโ€™s some of our Y-Yard crew paying tribute to the one and only Dolly Parton on 9/25 with a little recycled parts twist.

Because when youโ€™ve got a team that works hard, you might as well have a little fun while youโ€™re doing it.

Before the school runs and daily commutes begin, make sure your ride is ready. Check your tires, brakes, lights, fluids & more!

Back-to-school is expensive enough. Save on OEM parts at the Y-Yard and check one more thing off your list! โœ”๏ธ
