This is definitely the most organized and clean junkyard into the tri-state area, but prices are beyond ridiculous...they are many times higher than new parts from the auto store or online! Why are used parts that you have to pull yourself more expensive than brand new parts? For instance, I wanted parts for my MKIV Volkswagen. This junkyard charges $38.92 for a pair for coil springs before taxes. Luckily I researched and saw that a brand new pair of Moog springs were only $34.99 before taxes at Advanced Auto. Why would I pay more and spend the labor and time of getting used springs from a junkyard when I can buy them cheaper and brand new from the parts store? Another example is the window switch for my VW. It was $14.12 before taxes for a window switch with power lock button at this junkyard. When I got home I realized I could buy a brand new switch for $8.79 from Prime (sold and shipped by Amazon)...which has an improved design that fixes the defect. Another example is a bumper insert for my VW. The cashier wanted to charge me $23.05 before tax because it's a 'plastic grill'. It didn't matter that it was only a 4 inch piece of plastic because, 'that's what the computer says is the price'. Well, I can order all three grill inserts for less than $15 brand new, not just one! At Barry's U Pull they would look at the plastic bumper insert and say $4, not $20, because they understand they do not get recycling money for plastics and it would otherwise be trashed. I like PullAPart, I really do, and it's always fun browsing, but pricing makes no sense and the people working the registers are not allowed to have any discretion on fixing egregious pricing.
