Maiden's Self-Service Junkyard for DIY Savings
RTP Pick-A-Part is a self-service yard in Maiden, NC, where you'll find junkyard auto parts, pull them yourself, and keep more of your money in the process. But it's not only about the savings. Whether you've been under the hood for twenty years or you're picking up your first wrench, we’re here to make your DIY project easy — not intimidating.
Maiden sits about an hour from Charlotte and twenty minutes from Hickory, close enough that drivers from both directions make the trip regularly.
Inventory changes daily as new vehicles come in and parts go home with someone else. Check what's on the lot before you load up your tools, so you know your trip is worth the drive.
Here's What You're Actually Getting
Affordable
Pulling your own part means you're not paying for someone else's labor. Parts here cost a fraction of new or dealership pricing, and you only pay for what you take off the vehicle. The savings show up the moment you check out.

Reliable
Vehicles rotate through the yard constantly, so there's always something new to check. Every RTP location runs the same process and the same standards, so what you find here is what you'd find pulling a part at any other RTP yard.
Eco-Friendly
Every part pulled here is one less part manufactured from scratch. Reusing what's already built keeps materials in circulation and keeps older vehicles on the road longer — all while saving you money.
Convenient
Located right off NC-16, the yard is easy to reach whether you're driving in from town or from out of the area. Wide aisles, marked rows, and a layout that makes sense once you're inside.

What Customers Are Saying
Very professional and gave me a fair offer on my car. The wait time was a little long but other than that I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking to scrap a vehicle.
How It Works
Getting a part from RTP Pick-A-Part comes down to three steps.
Search the inventory online first to make sure we have what you need. Don't see your exact make or model? The same part often fits several different vehicles, so check parts interchange before you rule anything out. Once you've found a match, note the row and section listed next to the vehicle.
Bring your own tools. A basic socket set covers most jobs, and pliers, a pry bar, and safety glasses are worth having. We also have some tools for sale or rent. Not sure what to bring for a specific job? Ask at the counter on your way in. Someone on our team will walk you through the process.
Pull the part, bring it to the counter, and pay only for what you're taking home. No hidden fees, no surprises at checkout.
Admission & What to Expect
Admission is $2.00 per person, and you must be 16 or older to enter the yard. Most eligible parts may be exchanged or returned for store credit within 30 days of purchase, so if something doesn't fit, you're not stuck with it.
Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Closed-toe shoes are required in the yard. Gloves and safety glasses aren't strictly necessary, but most regulars bring their own.
