I literally want to know how you justify charging more for a used part than a auto parts store charges for the same part new... $30 will get you a single shock whereas $30 will get you two new ones with money left over. everyone reading this ASK about pricing before you go pull the part and feel obligated to buy it.

Pick-n-Pull at 6241 SE 111th Ave, Portland, OR, is a go-to for DIY mechanics and car enthusiasts hunting for affordable used auto parts. This self-service junkyard, established in 1987, boasts a massive, ever-rotating inventory of vehicles—foreign and domestic cars, vans, and light trucks, typically 7+ years old. With daily new arrivals, it’s a treasure trove for those willing to dig. I’ve always found what I needed, from tail lights to column shifters, often at unbeatable prices compared to new parts. The yard’s organized layout, grouped by manufacturer, and helpful website inventory make locating parts straightforward. Staff are generally friendly and knowledgeable, with some standout employees offering installation tips or process guidance. A $3 entry fee and environmental fees apply, but the savings outweigh these costs for budget-conscious folks.That said, the atmosphere screams “proper Portland trashed.” The gravel lot is chaotic, with oil containers, batteries, and trash scattered about. Safety’s a concern—regular break-ins, sketchy parking lot vibes, and substance-altered visitors aren’t uncommon. It’s not family-friendly; no kids under 16 are allowed, and you’ll want to leave nice tools or cars at home. Some parts are priced oddly high, occasionally rivaling online retailers, and customer service can be hit-or-miss, with reports of rude staff or invasive bag checks. Still, for DIYers, it’s a gritty, functional gem that delivers.

Let's be real, this is the most dangerous Pick-n-Pull location in the region. Regular crashes and break-ins in and around the parking lot, confrontations, seriously substance altered behavior, the usual. They have a decent rotating selection, and I suppose the prices could be worse, but don't come here for the atmosphere and don't bring a nice car or nice tools. Several times now I have pulled a part, gotten the price, and ordered it same day shipping on Amazon for less. Which is kind of weird, I'm not sure how their business model works at all with a lot of the pricing.
