Clarkies Auto Salvage

About the Business

Tucked away on Clarkies Auto Salvage’s lot at 191 Geyser Rd, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, there’s a kind of charm you don’t expect from a salvage yard. What you’ll find isn’t just rows of vehicles waiting for parts—it’s a place where experience, honesty, and mechanical know-how come together in a no-nonsense, get-the-job-done kind of way. For locals around Saratoga County, this isn’t just another auto shop—it’s where your car goes when you want things done right the first time.

I first came across Clarkies on a recommendation from a friend after my old Toyota’s alternator gave out. I figured I’d call around for parts before heading to a dealership—and I’m glad I did. Not only did they have exactly what I needed, but they also took the time to explain how to install it and whether I’d be better off fixing or replacing. That kind of advice, especially from a salvage business, says a lot.

The location is easy to get to, and the yard itself is better organized than you might expect. It’s not just about hunting through piles of rusty parts. There’s a system in place, and the staff knows where everything is. Whether you’re searching for a specific make and model or just trying to get your hands on a used starter or fender, the folks here make the process smooth.

In terms of services, Clarkies goes beyond parts. It operates like a full-service car repair and auto establishment, with a strong focus on reuse, repair, and keeping costs down for customers. They’ve got the credentials, the experience, and a hands-on approach that’s hard to find elsewhere. They’ve been in the business for years, and their understanding of both domestic and foreign vehicles is top-tier.

Customer reviews around town reflect that same sentiment. Most locals who’ve dealt with them speak highly of their straightforward pricing, quick turnaround times, and friendly attitude. There’s a level of trust that comes from years of solid work and no empty promises. You’re not upsold or talked down to—you’re just given clear info and real options.

For anyone looking to cut down on costs, especially in today’s world where new parts are expensive and sometimes hard to find, this place is a game changer. They’re not just selling scrap—they’re helping extend the life of vehicles, save money, and reduce waste. That kind of value goes beyond price tags.

If you’re in the area and your car’s giving you trouble, or you’re just in need of solid advice and affordable parts, this spot is worth checking out. Places like this don’t rely on flashy advertising—they rely on word of mouth, repeat customers, and good old-fashioned results.

Gives good prices for pulled parts and I've seen plenty of pulled engines and transmissions sitting in big containers. Seen some cars you rarely see anymore in there too. Pretty big lot of imports(Honda, Subaru VW, etc...)
