Our Story at Bud Jones & Sons Auto Salvage
Fair Prices, Honest Parts, and a Family Legacy Since 1959
At Bud Jones & Sons Auto Salvage, we believe finding the right auto part should feel simple, fair, and honest. Since 1959, our family-owned and operated auto salvage yard in Onamia, Minnesota has helped drivers, mechanics, body shops, neighbors, and do-it-yourself repair folks save money and stay on the road.
We offer quality used auto parts, aftermarket auto parts, drivetrain parts, interior and exterior parts, used batteries, used tires, and hard-to-find parts for older and later model vehicles. With more than 2,000 vehicles in our inventory, our goal is always the same: treat people fairly and help however we can.
A Family-Owned Salvage Yard Built on Fair Treatment
Since 1959
Bud Jones & Sons Auto Salvage began in 1959 with Bud’s dad. When Bud took over, he wanted to keep the family legacy alive while growing the business in a way that stayed true to its roots. That meant expanding inventory, serving more customers, and building a reputation based on fairness.
For us, fairness is not just a business idea. It is how we try to treat every customer, every employee, and every person who walks through the door or calls looking for help.
Bud’s goal has always been to be known in the community for selling auto parts the right way. Fair prices. Honest conversations. Real service. No runaround. No pressure. Just people helping people solve vehicle problems.
More Than 67 Years Serving Our Community
Helping People Keep Moving
We have been serving our community for 67 years, and that means a lot to us. Over the decades, we have helped generations of customers find parts, repair vehicles, save money, and keep life moving.
Our customers include local drivers, body shops, mechanics, families, farmers, project builders, and anyone willing to fix a car themselves instead of replacing it. We understand that vehicle repairs can be stressful, especially when budgets are tight. That is why we work hard to keep prices competitive and help customers find practical solutions.
We believe people continue to work with us because they know they will be treated fairly. A handshake still matters here. So does sincerity. So does caring about the problem a customer is trying to solve.
Quality Used and Aftermarket Auto Parts
For Older and Later Model Vehicles
Our inventory is always changing, and that is part of what makes salvage work both challenging and useful. With more than 2,000 vehicles, we carry a wide range of parts for older and later model vehicles.
Customers come to us for drivetrain parts, interior parts, exterior parts, used batteries, used tires, and many other used and aftermarket auto parts. Whether someone needs a replacement part for a daily driver, a repair job, a restoration, or a work vehicle, we do our best to help track down the right option.
Because our inventory changes often, any time is a good time to call or stop in. If you need a part, give us a try. We will try to help you.
Honest Help From a Top-Notch Team
Experience That Matters
Bud believes we have one of the best teams in the business. We may not be the largest salvage yard team out there, but we are proud of the people we have. Our team works hard, knows the inventory, and understands how important it is to be honest with customers.
When someone contacts us, they can expect a smiling face, a helpful attitude, and a real effort to make the process easier.
That is where experience matters. We listen, ask questions, and do our best to point customers in the right direction.
Competitive Prices
And Practical Solutions
Auto repairs can get expensive fast. One of the biggest reasons people choose Bud Jones & Sons Auto Salvage is because used auto parts can help reduce repair costs without giving up function or reliability.
We work hard to keep our prices competitive because we know our customers are often trying to make smart, practical decisions. A quality used part can be the difference between getting a vehicle back on the road and putting off a repair.
Our approach is simple: be honest, be fair, and help customers save money when we can.
Parts Shipping Beyond Onamia
Nationwide Service Available
Although we are proud to be rooted in Onamia, our service reaches far beyond our local community. We ship parts nationwide, excluding Canada, so customers in other areas can access our inventory as well.
That means if we have the part you need, we can often help even if you are not nearby. Whether you are a shop, mechanic, or individual customer, our team can discuss availability, pricing, and shipping options.
Guarantees and Warranties
Support When You Need It
We do offer guarantees and warranties, depending on the part. Because used parts vary by type, condition, and application, we handle warranty details based on the specific item.
Our goal is to be clear with customers before the sale so they understand what to expect. If a problem comes up, we try to help with the issue and make the experience easier to deal with.
Supporting Local People
And Local Events
Being part of the community means more than running a business here. We support neighbors, friends, youth sports, race cars, and local events because this community has supported us for decades.
We know many of our customers by name. We see familiar faces. We hear the stories behind the repairs.
Whatever brings someone to us, we are happy to help.
Free Estimates and Friendly Service
Honest Help Every Day
We offer free estimates on all services because we believe customers should have useful information before making a decision. Whether you are pricing a part, checking availability, or trying to understand your options, our team is ready to talk it through.
We are here Monday through the hard work, the phone calls, the parts searches, and the everyday needs of customers who just want honest help. If you walk through our door or give us a call, we will do what we can.
