About Forrest Silva Crushing
Forrest Silva Crushing is an auto salvage and parts site working out of Modesto, California within Stanislaus County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. Looking at posted details, a phone line appears in the listing and day-to-day hours are recorded. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
