Sandhills Pick N Pull

Just left after an incredible visit—those folks are the best. They tracked down every part I needed for my ’95 F-150 in no time. I’ll be back every chance I get.

Gave them a call to ask about a factory radio for a Honda Accord, told them the year and everything, even drove an hour out. Now they’re quoting fifty bucks because it’s got an A/C control built in—I can’t do anything about that. The guy insisted all factory radios run eighteen fifty flat. I’ve relied on this place for over ten years, sent plenty of people their way, and never ran into trouble until recently. Something’s off with the newer staff—they’re pushing prices so high folks won’t come back.

Found myself in this yard looking for parts, and I left impressed. Their inventory is big and easy to walk through. Grab one of their maps or just pull up the layout on your phone and start hunting. They’ve even got wheelbarrows and engine pullers to make your life easier. Everything’s priced right, often half of what you’d pay at AutoZone for the same used OEM part. Usually, you can talk the price down too. Need something gone? Slide up to the teller window on the right side of the building with your ride’s photos, VIN, and know if it’s got cats. The crew’s quick, friendly, and seems to know exactly what you need before you even say it. Feels like they’ve got everything running smooth.

I’ve been to salvage yards in a bunch of states, but none compare to this one. The entry fee still feels cheap, and that little charge actually works in your favor. Vehicles are labeled clean and safe to dig through. No weird coolant stench either, which makes hunting way more tolerable. I drive thirty minutes just to come here now and don’t plan on changing spots.

Wanted to share how much I appreciate this spot. On top of helping folks cut repair costs, they do it with smiles and real professionalism. I’ve been to yards all over, and this one stands out for how seriously they take their work. Knowledgeable, motivated, and they actually listen when you explain what you’re after.

So I made the drive from Wilmington up to Fayetteville last weekend, hoping to find a couple parts for my car. Turns out they had exactly what I needed—and then some. Rod, the guy who runs the place, walked me through everything, even helped me get a fair price on the wheels I was after. Honestly, the whole thing went smoother than I expected. Guess I owe Rod that review I promised him.

Needed a driveshaft for my F150, so I called ahead to see if they had one. The guy on the phone didn’t even bother checking if it was in decent shape. Drove 30 minutes for nothing—turns out, every single one was bent from the forklift handling them. Waste of time and gas. ---

I got a call from Ms. Lashanda this morning, and honestly, it made my whole day better. She walked me through everything step by step—no rushing, no confusion—just clear, patient answers. By the end, I actually felt good about what was happening, which isn’t always the case with these kinds of calls. She stayed just as nice the whole time, even when I had to dig through my stuff to find the right papers. Seriously, if I ever see her in person, I’m giving her a hug. Hope she’s having a great day! ---

Prices here are ridiculous, and they won’t budge. Paid twice what I should’ve for a part that’s been sitting around for 20 years. If you’re looking for a deal, go somewhere else. ---

First time here, and I was impressed—the place is clean, the staff actually helps, and they’ve got parts for just about anything. Saw a 1949 Ford pickup parked next to a 2010 F150 in the same row, so you know they’ve got range. Prices were fair too. *But*—and this is a big but—since then, they’ve hiked everything up. What used to be $40 is now $60, and they nickel-and-dime you for every little extra. Not worth it anymore. ---
