Nebraska roots. Generations of know-how.

A history of making
good things go further.

Andersen Wrecking began in 1937 when Ray Andersen opened in downtown Gibbon, Nebraska. In 1960, we moved to our current location in Kearney and expanded our parts business, purchasing metals and vehicles. In 1989, we purchased Stan’s Auto Parts and began Andersen Auto Parts, offering classic and older vehicle parts at discounted prices. In 2009, we reimagined the property as a self-service yard. We removed the original building, renovated the property, and made room for more than 1,700 vehicles and motorcycles. By letting customers remove their own parts, we could offer lower prices. Our self-service yard celebrated its grand opening in 2011. Customers have been returning ever since for affordable parts and a clean, organized facility.
