About Argos Automotive
Argos Automotive, an auto salvage and parts business in Birmingham, Alabama, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. Per public records, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and an email contact are on file. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
