Favorite Junkyard Now "Pick-N-Pull"

So after going through major upgrades and improvements this past year and a half, I head over to my Favorite local Junkyards website then get forwarded to a "Pick-N-Pull" website saying that they now own the yard.

I hear you guys mention Pick-N-Pull alot, I assume alot of you have one near you.

Do they run things good? Anything to expect or not to expect from them?

Prices look about the same except more core charges, And I like the fact that they show prices for EVERYTHING online, except random things like the old one did.
I would always have to ask and would still randomly get sticker shock at the register depending on who was checking me out.

Some yards are good and some just suck.
In my area i deal with a place called Standard Auto Wreckers they have all you can haul day every month.  so for 50 bucks if you can get it its yours.
Another yard about hour away that is huge much the same deals.

Does pick and pull ever have any sales? The old owners NEVER did.
They seem to be run by a global type thing as opposed to the small business it used to be.

The yard near me is a pick and pull. They are pretty good and the prices are reasonable. Every Wednesday used to be half off day but they stopped that about a year ago. Now they have daily and weekly specials. I like that the cars are up in the air instead of sitting in the mud. The ability to check what cars are in the yard is convenient as well. When a 83-88 T-bird or Cougar shows up I usually head to the yard to see if they have any parts worth pulling.

Last summer they had some 1/2 off deals for one or two weekends, of course, they had crushed the car I wanted, so no half off parts for me..  :(

Pick and pull around here, there just a s yard trying to gouge you. The people that run the yard know nothing about car part. I picked up a rubber isolator for a drive shaft for the mechanic at my work. Walked right up to the register and told them what it was. 10 minutes and several second opinions later, I was rung up for 3 feet of rubber moulding at 4.99 a foot.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
