Looking for a junk yard
I'm looking for a junk yard to pull parts for my car. I live near Chambersburg, PA, but venture to Gettysburg and Harrisburg regularly. I've never been to a pick-n-pull before, so pointers on how to go about it would be great.

Re: Looking for a junk yard
Grab your phonebook and start calling anybody listed under "used car parts" and "auto salvage yards". But a word of warning, be careful. Alot of places are no longer allowing outsiders in to 'pick and pull' due to insurance issues. My favorite 'pick and pull' is no longer letting me in to pull my own parts unless I sign a waiver exempting them from any damages if I should hurt myself, and a few others are simply refusing access to the yard.
It hasn't been that much of an issue for me, in reality. I don't get charged any more for having the onsite staff pull the part for me. And for the one place that has the waiver, I sign without complaint. Being able to pull my own parts is just more convenient for me."When I hit it, I expect it to fall the hell down and die!"

Re: Looking for a junk yard
There's a yard on Route 72, north of the Ren Faire. I don't know if they allow you to pull parts or not. There used to be at least 3 other yards in Lancaster, but they've all been shutdown as far as I know.

That one is J&D Auto - they do allow you to pull your own parts BUT most times they pull it for you depending on what it is.
Hutch's on Blue Ridge Ave (just outside Linglestown) - $1.00 to get in and pull it yourself. 717-657-0531
Farnsworth (fredrickburg, PA) - 717-933-8118
These are the three I use the most and they are the fairest in the area.Brian - US Navy Retired - If you aren't having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Re: Looking for a junk yard
They want you to have a purpose to go out into the yard. Long gone are the days that you could spend 1/2 a day wandering and seeing what was there.
That is what I like about Hutch's - pay a buck and you can kill a day and crawl over every car in the lot and buy nothing at all.Brian - US Navy Retired - If you aren't having fun doing it, find something else to do.

I'll never forget laying underneath a Chevette that was resting on another car in February pulling an entire steering rack off because a friend ran over a snow pole and bitched the entire rack up.
