Pull A Part

This place has a great selection of vehicles and is well organized.
The problem is that the lazy employees want to be GONE for 6:00 so they strongly discourage you from entering after 5:00, claiming that you have to be done by 5:30 despite the website and signs saying that the last admission is at 5:30 pm and the checkout closes at 6:00.
I assume the problem is with the local management, and I plan to call the corporate office to see if they even care about how things are being run down here.

I’ve been to this junkyard a few times, and each time I find a few new things to disgust me. First, their advertising and signage features women wearing low cut blouses and holding «big tools». Misogyny is hilarious!!!
Second, I’ve had employees make homophobic comments. That sucks. Unfortunately if you’re working class and need cheap parts, it doesn’t matter if you’re queer; they’re the only game in town.
My trip there today was super special though! On the way in at 4:30pm I made note of their sign that very clearly stated «Last admission at 5:30pm, Close at 6pm.» What this means is that they stop letting people in at 5:30 because they know it’s going to take a minute for you to wrench your part out of a vehicle.
My partner and I worked efficiently and kept our eye on the time. At 5:20 pm we heard a siren and a muffled announcement. We kept asking each other what was being said. We never saw the broadcaster, but it sounded like it was coming from a bullhorn. We kept working and ignored it. We had seen the sign and were nearly finished. and knew that we had plenty of time to get out of there. At 5:35pm we started walking to the check out building. We arrived there at 5:40 pm and we were yelled at and berated by a manager who told us the registers were closed and that we wouldn’t be able to check out. We informed him that his sign clearly stated that we could check out until 6pm. At that point the cop that they had there on retainer came over and started berating us. First the manager told us that they had closed the registers because they didn’t know we were there, then the cop came over and told us we were lying and that we had heard him come around and broadcast that the registers were closing.
So that’s what he was saying.
YOU WANT TO CLOSE EARLY, CHANGE YOUR SIGN!
I took particular exception to being called a liar, being refused service, and being made to leave behind the part that two of us had spent nearly an hour extracting from a vehicle. I was told that I could return (promptly) at 8am the next morning (and waste another $ 15 in gasoline) if I wanted the part. If I did not come at that time, the part would be thrown into their scrap after they opened.
Horrible, disgusting, vile place with non-​existent customer service and shoddy business practices.
Having a rental pig call me a liar was a nice touch and an added bonus.
See y’all at 8am.

If you’re going to have a sign next to your door that clearly reads «Sales: 8−6», which is also what is advertised on your corporate website, then that means that you will be accepting sales until six. That doesn’t mean that you can close up shop at five thirty, and tell customers arriving at your register well before six that the registers are closed and you are no longer taking sales. That, my friends, is called false advertising. That, along with the manager telling me that he has to «follow rules» when it’s obvious he just wants to leave early, and being bullied by a police officer who was quick to jump to conclusions and call me a liar, have pretty much been the final nail in the coffin for this place.
I would not recommend this location to anyone. A business that thrives on false advertisement, and hides behind paid officers, is no business I want to give my money to.

BRING YOUR TOOLS.
I showed up to check it out, and boy oh boy (yeah, that’s an expression), is this placed organized!
First off, you can actually check for the car /​parts on their website. I’ve gone to another junk yard, and it can be a hit or miss b/​c their selection is definitely «smaller» and there’s no real accountability on their items.
2) It’s organized like I said earlier. There are rows of neatly stacked up cars sectioned off by import or domestic cars.
3) Every car sits about 2 to 3 feet high so you don’t need to jack up the car. If you needed to get the springs or shocks for example, it’s as easy as it will ever be. Trust me.
Lastly, the parking lot is immaculate. Seriously, immaculate. Plus when you walk in, it feels like an Advance Auto Part store with two cashier like registries on the right side (one to check for parts and the second to check your tools and pay the $ 2 entry fee). And yes, the entry fee is worth it for $ 2 (and I’m super cheap). BTW, when you do check out, the other side of the check-​in point has the actual cash register (i.e. 3 of these) to allow you to pay for their items.
Just to illustrate how popular they are, when I arrived on a Wednesday morning about 9:30am, there were 4 sets of people in line with a few others already inside their massively organized «junk» yard. Good stuff.
So…bring your tools b/​c you’ll pull the part yourself so that you can enjoy the plethora of «goods.»

Really cool junk yard. Not like the old type with vehicles scattered about with no organization. They have their junk together.
The Jeeps are in one section, Tahoes in another, Trans Ams here, Fords over there. Very well organized. Not a lot of unnecessary walking in here unless you like to browse around. Even has a nice online inventory checker, well vehicle checker. It wont actually tell you if the 1971 VW Beetle in the yard still has a generator or decklid on it anymore. Just if the car is there.
I been in there a few times to see how long it took for my very first dealership bought vehicle to getting picked apart. 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Sad in a way, but very cool.

I would have never imagined a place that was this organized! Clean, with a friendly staff. But, their claims for cross-​comparisons for parts is woefully inadequate.

Great place to buy car parts… and you can find their car inventory online! Best, most organized junkyard I’ve ever seen. …and most importantly it’s cheap. I swear they sell the parts based on weight. Power window motor and assembly? About $ 25! Someone busted out one of your windows? That’s about $ 15! Comparing that with most shop prices will send even the most novice mechanics digging around for how-to’s on the forums…
Just check the site before you go. I’m lucky to have an incredibly common car… but don’t expect them to have parts for your ’63 Valiant or whatever…
