Frequently Asked Questions
helpWhat is a U-Pull-It junkyard?
A U-Pull-It junkyard, also called a self-service salvage yard, collects end-of-life vehicles and lets you remove usable auto parts from them yourself.
You bring your own tools and do the labor to pull the parts you need from the vehicles in the yard. Because you do the work, you pay based on the part you take rather than for someone else’s labor.
This DIY approach offers the most savings, typically 50% to 80% off the cost of new parts. It suits DIY enthusiasts, mechanics, and budget-conscious buyers who want the lowest prices.
Because of the low cost and self-service model, parts from U-Pull-It locations are generally sold "as-is" with no warranty.
helpWhat are the key differences between self-service and full-service yards?
Here are the key differences between self-service and full-service salvage yards:
Target audience
Self-service yards suit DIY enthusiasts, mechanics, and budget-conscious customers. Full-service yards suit beginners or busy people who prefer convenience.
Labor and tools
At a self-service yard you bring your own tools and remove the parts yourself, which usually takes 1 to 3 hours. At a full-service yard, staff locate and remove the parts for you in about 30 to 60 minutes.
Cost and savings
Self-service yards offer the lowest prices, generally 50% to 80% off new. Full-service yards cost a bit more for the labor but still save 30% to 50%. An ECM might run $50–$100 at a self-service yard versus $100–$200 full-service.
Warranties and extras
Full-service yards often test and clean parts, offer delivery, and provide 30- to 90-day warranties. Self-service locations sell "as-is" with no warranty.
