Pick-n-Pull at 2416 112th St S, Lakewood, WA 98499

Sold my car to Pick-n-Pull and it went way smoother than I expected. They texted when they were 10 minutes out, showed up right on time, and the two guys who came were actually nice to talk to—not the usual "let’s get this over with" vibe. All I had to do was hand over the keys and title, and they handed me a cashier’s check on the spot. No haggling, no waiting, no hassle. And the best part? They picked it up for free. I walked away happy, and honestly, I’d do it again if I had another car to sell. ---

Found exactly what we needed for our car at this place, and the website actually helps narrow down which wrecks might have the parts you’re after. That said, don’t waste your time calling ahead to ask if a specific car still has a specific part—nobody there’s gonna know for sure. Half the fun (and frustration) is digging through the lot yourself to see what’s left. After my wife got rear-ended—not her fault—we ended up here to replace the bumper and grab a few other bits to fix it ourselves. Pro tip: Bring your own tools. I roll in with a wheeled toolbox, and it makes hauling stuff around the lot a million times easier. Would’ve been a nightmare trying to carry everything by hand. ---

This might be the worst junkyard I’ve ever dealt with, and I’ve been to a few. They don’t keep any kind of parts inventory, so you’re just guessing if they even have what you need. And forget about calling ahead to check—good luck getting a straight answer. The real kicker? They don’t even bother checking the mileage on the cars they take in. I drove four hours to get here, and they wanted me to make the trip *without confirming* if they had the part first. That’s not just lazy—that’s a scam. I’m not wasting another minute or gas money on this place, and I sure as hell won’t recommend it to anyone else.

Look, I’ll be honest—the entrance fee was cheap, and the entertainment value alone made it worth it. The part I actually needed? Nowhere to be found on either of the two cars I checked. Not a surprise, but still annoying. And yeah, the urinal in the bathroom was out of toilet paper. When I asked the guy sweeping the lot where I could find some, he just pointed inside and said, “Talk to someone in there.” So I grabbed a backup part from a different car and headed in to pay. Inside, things got *interesting*. The same guy who’d been sweeping was now behind the counter, and some dude was trying to haggle over a used car while also arguing about a side mirror he’d stuffed in his pocket. Claimed it was his, of course. The manager had to step in and point out the big sign that says no parts leave without being paid for. My son and I just stood there laughing through the whole mess, killing time while we waited to pay for the part I’d pulled—because, of course, they made us wait forever. Then they hit me with the kicker: full retail price for a used Dorman door latch. I get it, they don’t want to get ripped off, but come on. I’ve worked in auto parts for over a decade, and even I wasn’t expecting them to turn around and try to scam *me* after some guy tried to walk out with a mirror. Do your homework on pricing before you even step up to that counter, or you’ll end up paying way more than you should. And if you’re the type to pocket parts? Yeah, don’t be that guy. ---

The staff here are actually helpful, which is rare enough to mention. Even during the Labor Day sale, when the place was packed and they were running around like crazy, they still took the time to answer questions without acting like it was a chore. No attitude, no shortcuts—just solid service. I’ll be back next time I need parts. ---
