About A-1 Metals & Auto Salvage
A-1 Metals & Auto Salvage provides auto salvage and parts services in Paso Robles, California. The business takes inbound material from walk-in sellers, small contractors, and salvage haulers across the surrounding county, and operates as a paid outlet for inbound scrap metal volume. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. Practical details: posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
