What do parts cost at Youngstown U-Pull-It?
The yard posts a price list by part type. The price is the same whatever car the part comes from. These are a few of the prices we read on September 29, 2026. The page carries no date of its own, so confirm at the counter.
| Part | Price | Core charge |
|---|---|---|
| Alternator or starter | $22.99 | $6.25 |
| Engine, 3 or 4 cylinder, with accessories | $183.99 | $55.00 |
| Engine, 8 cylinder, with accessories | $206.99 | $55.00 |
| Transmission | $125.99 | $25.00 |
| Door | $68.99 | $3.99 |
| Hood | $54.99 | $5.00 |
| Radiator, no shroud | $48.99 | $6.50 |
| Used battery | $29.99 | $10.00 |
The core charge is a deposit. You get it back when you hand in the old part, which is why it pays to bring the dead alternator with you. Our explanation of how core charges work covers the details. To see how these numbers sit against other yards, open our junkyard price list.
How do you check what is in the yard?
The inventory search asks for a make and a model and shows where that vehicle sits in the yard. The page says new inventory is added daily. It lists vehicles and not parts, so a car on the list may already have lost the part you want.
The yard also offers a free parts interchange lookup at the customer service desk. Ask there which other models carry the same part before you walk the rows. We explain the idea in which car parts interchange, and you can search more yards from our inventory page.
What are the yard rules?
Everyone who enters pays the $2 fee and signs a waiver. Nobody under 18 goes into the yard, and nobody under 18 may be left alone in the store.
Torches, grinders and jacks are not allowed. Neither are bare feet, sandals or open-toed shoes. You cannot carry your own parts into the yard, broken or not, so leave the old part in the car until you reach the counter. Staff may inspect tool boxes and bags on the way in and on the way out.
The return policy is one line: no warranty, returns or money back on tires, wheels, windows "and other parts", and any return or exchange needs a receipt. The list does not say which other parts. Ask before you pay for anything electrical, and keep the receipt. Our tool checklist covers what to pack.
An interview from the Youngstown Studio channel, published November 2023. Its description says a representative of Youngstown Auto Wrecking and Youngstown U-Pull-It talks about how the two yards operate.
