What to Expect
Pickers "U-Pull-It" is a true self-service salvage yard. You handle the part removal yourself, from locating the part to taking it off the vehicle. The yard provides access to a changing selection of salvaged cars, but no staff will help you find or remove parts. This is a hands-on experience for those who know what they’re doing.
How It Works
- Bring your own tools. The yard doesn’t provide wrenches, sockets, or other equipment, so come prepared with what you need to get the job done.
- Find the part you need. The inventory includes a mix of vehicles, so you’ll need to match the make, model, and year to what you’re looking for.
- Remove the part yourself. Once you’ve located it, you’ll take it off the vehicle on your own.
- Pay by the pound. Pricing is based on the weight of the part, not the part itself. You’ll pay for the metal content after removal.
- No pre-sold parts. Unlike some salvage yards, Pickers "U-Pull-It" doesn’t sell parts directly. Everything must be removed on-site.
What Parts Are Available?
The yard carries a wide range of vehicles, so common parts like engines, transmissions, doors, fenders, bumpers, and interior components are usually in stock. Less common or specialized parts may take more time to find, as availability depends on what’s currently in the yard. There’s no guarantee a specific part will be there, so call ahead or check the website for updates.
Tools and Safety
Since this is a self-service yard, you’ll need to bring your own tools. Depending on the part, you might need basic hand tools, air tools, or even welding equipment. Safety gear like gloves and eye protection is a good idea too. The yard doesn’t rent out tools or provide safety equipment.
