I've gone to LKQ Pick Your Part. I've had a good experience. You can setup an online account and pick yards in your area and they'll notify you when a car you want arrives at the lot. You can also view inventory and prices online. I pulled a couple of Acura OEM axles a few years back. I replaced the boots and grease with an OEM boot kit. They have maps an alphanumeric system to find the exact location of the car you find in their inventory.

Pick Your Part sucks.... Most stuff is terrible over priced...I once went for a used radiator.. Took me like 2 hours to find remove in the hot sun and wait in line 30 mins once there guy says it's 180$ with out warranty.. .. I just left it there... Also the staff can be kinda rude sometimes...... Prices they charge they should treat you better... Only times I go these days if I need a part that is considered part of the car..... but even then it's usually better to look for it on Ebay.... They stopped trying to offer deals when they bought out Ecology...

It's at every pull lot. I show them a picture of what I want, and ask how much, printed up or in writting. They ask, do you want to know if we have it? I say no, want to know how much you're going to charge if I find and pull it. In writing.

Bought an ecu from there. They charge for every bracket on it. Buy a door and they charge for every little part. Buy a strut assembly they charge for the spring, strut, and mount. Buy a fuse block they charge .50 per fuse 1.50 per relay and any bracket attached plus the fuse block.

Most all of the SOCAL pick your part are huge, which gives you great selection. There is always new inventory, so if you need stuff off a particular matching vehicle you have to move fast in few days before it goes to crusher. Yes prices have gone up, because of inflation and environmental permits. Many parts have a core fee and you pay for a warranty unless you refuse.

In 1972, my sister bought her first car, a 1964 VW Beetle from her boss ($300). It had no bumpers and I told her she could not legally drive it. This, the first time I went to a salvage place and found a set. Put them on the Beetle and it was an appearance improvement! She kept the 1964 for a year and traded it for a new Beetle. I was mad she said nothing to me about it. I would have liked to have the '64. 300 miles on a 10 gallon tank of fuel then for its size engine.
