Once upon a time, in the heart of Texas, there was a small town where people knew the value of hard work, grit, and determination. It was here that Lone Star Auto Recyclers was founded, a business with one goal: to provide the community with quality, affordable used auto parts that could bring life back to damaged vehicles. The roots of this business run deep, as the family behind it has been in the auto parts industry since the 1970s, running several successful salvage yards, including Poor Boys Used Auto Parts, Victor's Auto Parts, Dale's Used Auto Parts in Pasadena, TX, and La Porte Auto Salvage in La Porte, TX.

Lone Star Auto Recyclers became the go-to place for body shops, auction auto rebuilders, and the general public, all seeking reliable OEM parts like bumpers, hoods, fenders, doors, and grilles. The family knew that these parts weren’t just metal and plastic—they were the lifeblood of people's vehicles. Whether it was a family car or a work truck, every piece had value, and every piece mattered.

The business thrived on three core principles: honesty, trust, and value. By being upfront about the condition of every part, Lone Star Auto Recyclers built a reputation for honesty that customers could rely on. The family ensured everyone felt confident about their purchase, offering parts that were often better than what you’d find at salvage yards but at a fraction of the price of new ones. Plus, there was a unique satisfaction in supporting a local business that embraced sustainability through recycling.

Each part had its own story, from a tough Super Duty bumper that had seen countless Texas roads, to a fender that protected a beloved pickup during its many years of service. And while these parts might have had a few dings or scratches, there was beauty in their history.

Lone Star Auto Recyclers didn’t just sell parts. They helped restore vehicles, reduce waste, and support the hardworking people of Texas. And for the family running the business, that meant everything. Through every transaction and every handshake, they knew they were making a difference—one part, one vehicle, and one customer at a time.
