Nationwide vehicle search
Searching YardSnipe's connected salvage-yard vehicle inventory is intended to remain available without requiring a paid subscription.
A Promise to Our Community
YardSnipe was built to help people.
From salvage yards and mechanics to the person who only needs one part one time to get their vehicle back on the road, YardSnipe exists to make useful salvage information easier to find.
Why this matters
If YardSnipe helps one person find the part they need, it did its job.
YardSnipe was built to help the salvage community as a whole - from the yards, to the mechanics, to the enthusiasts, to the person who may only ever need one part one time just so they can get their car back on the road, make it to work, and take care of their family.
If YardSnipe helps that person find a donor vehicle or part they may not have found otherwise, even if they never use the site again, then YardSnipe did its part.
That purpose is at the center of the long-term vision for YardSnipe. We want salvage-yard information to be easier to access, easier to search, and more useful to the people who depend on affordable used parts.
Our promise
YardSnipe's core features are intended to remain free.
Parts database
Our parts database and donor-finding tools are being built to help people locate essential donor vehicles and parts they might not otherwise find.
Free access for everyday users
Someone trying to repair their own vehicle should not have to pay a subscription just to discover that the donor they need may be sitting in a nearby salvage yard.
Better visibility for salvage yards
YardSnipe wants to help participating yards put their inventory in front of more people and make that inventory easier for customers to discover.
How YardSnipe may make money
Paid tools should create additional business value, not lock away the basic utility.
If YardSnipe introduces subscription-based plans, our goal is for those plans to focus on market data, analytics, and professional tools designed for flippers, sellers, and businesses using YardSnipe to make money or sell more parts.
We believe that approach is in the best interest of salvage yards, mechanics, enthusiasts, everyday drivers, and YardSnipe's long-term future.
A useful platform has to be financially sustainable, but we believe sustainability and accessibility can exist together.
