About Bob's Core & Auto Parts
Bob's Core & Auto Parts is set up as an auto salvage and parts operation in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. The site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. On a practical level, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and an email contact are on file. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Auto sellers should expect the site to ask about drained fluids before intake — oil, coolant, fuel — and about whether batteries and catalytic converters need to come out separately. A phone call to the yard confirms what prep is needed and whether the operator handles that work in-house or expects the seller to arrive with the vehicle prepped.
