About Carney Jerry & Sons Inc
Carney Jerry & Sons Inc runs in Ames, Iowa, taking on auto salvage and parts work for individual sellers and contractors. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal across the surrounding county. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. Practical details: operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line 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. Sellers hauling a junk vehicle should call ahead with year, make, and condition so the yard can quote a working price before any tow is booked. The same call confirms whether the site offers pickup or expects the vehicle delivered to the gate under its own power or behind a flatbed on the day of intake.
