U Pull It
Tips & Advice
What is U Pull It?
U Pull It, also known as a self-service auto salvage or junkyard, is a unique kind of automotive recycling center. Unlike traditional auto salvage yards, at a U Pull It, you have the power in your hands. You’re free to roam the yard, equipped with your toolbox, to find and remove the auto parts you need from the end-of-life vehicles.
These salvage yards typically contain a vast array of vehicles—cars, trucks, SUVs, and more—of various makes, models, and years. It’s the ultimate playground for car enthusiasts, mechanics, and do-it-yourselfers looking to save money on auto parts, learn more about car mechanics, or find unique, hard-to-locate parts.
Northside Salvage Yard has a U Pull It yard at our J & J location in Clifton Springs (NO ENTRY FEE).
How Much Do Parts Cost at U Pull It?
The beauty of U Pull It lies in its cost-effectiveness. When you extract parts yourself, you bypass the labor costs associated with traditional auto shops, and you only pay for the part itself. The prices at U Pull It yards vary depending on the part and the vehicle it comes from. However, they’re generally significantly less expensive than purchasing new, refurbished, or even straight used parts.
To get an idea of potential savings, consider this: an alternator bought new can cost anywhere from $100 to $300, or even more. At a U Pull It yard, the same part might only cost you $20 to $50. However, prices can fluctuate based on factors like the part’s condition, rarity, and demand.
Will a U Pull It Buy My Car?
Absolutely! U Pull It yards are always on the lookout for new vehicles to replenish their inventory. Whether your car is in running condition or has seen better days, it has a place in a U Pull It yard. They often offer competitive prices, especially for vehicles that are popular or have in-demand parts.
Before selling your car to a U Pull It yard, it’s beneficial to know its value, especially if it has usable parts. It’s also important to remember that the price offered by the yard will consider the costs they will incur, like transport, processing, and environmental disposal fees.
