A Trip to the Wrecking Yard

After dealing with Foster Auto Parts and their sky high prices I had pretty much given up on auto wrecking yards. Then Sunday I went to the U-Pull-It Auto Wrecking on Foster in Portland and had my faith restored. For a $2.00 per person charge, you can walk around their yard and pull any parts you need from the vehicles. It was nice to be able to search for the parts myself as I didn’t know exactly what I wanted. In the end I pulled an overhead console from a 2nd gen Chevy s10 LS pickup and a new head light switch from an old 1st gen Chevy Blazer for $21. Justen managed to get a set of nice bucket seats from the same 2nd gen Chevy s10 pickup for $24 a piece. That is such a good deal. We were ecstatic at the good finds there. I would have picked up more parts for my vehicles, but I didn't have the correct sized tools to pull them. I'll definitely return again sometime soon. The only down side to this place is they don't have a very large selection of newer model vehicles, but if you need something out of a early 90's or prior, chances are you'll find it there.
