Before you go

Don't waste the trip

  1. Confirm the part: make, model, year and condition — over the phone.
  2. Compare warranties: especially on engines, transmissions and modules.
  3. Check the hours: at U-pull yards, ask what time they stop letting people in.
  4. Factor in the drive: the cheapest yard isn't worth it if it's far away and won't confirm stock.
