About Grimes Iron & Metal
The auto salvage and parts business Grimes Iron & Metal works out of Odessa, Texas in Ector County. The site takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options for salvage volume in the surrounding county. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. Public-facing details show that a phone line appears in the listing, and posted hours are available for visitors to check. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
