"Pick 'n' Pull" Wreckers philosophy

[Jerram]

-commodores
-falcons
-camrys
-festivas
etc.

There is one in Clayton and another one in Dandenong but they dont seem to have late model cars ( I mean 2005 onwards -They may get one or two but in very bad condition).

I have noticed people smash the windows, rip and destroy bits they dont need to get to what they want to buy but overall, it ends up being so much cheaper and they give things like original screws and clips for free

weve had one in west sydney for ages.

u have to pay to go in there though.

and it depends on the mood of the guy at the window on the way out as too how much they charge u even though they have a set list of prices posted up on the way in.

Some things they remove and have a shop type place for them though.

i think its a good idea actually.

i love pick and paymore in blacktown. if you need something small, or something that a mainstream wrecker wont carry, you go there, pull the item off your self and whizzz bang usually dont get charged for it.
it also helps having a whole bunch of different models and cars out in the yard as you can go around and try to pull a part of a different car.
we used to have on in wetherill park called "dunkers u pull it" i think, that place was great till it closed and the owner sold the whole place to a developer, who apparently would have to pay a fortuned to remove all this top soil before he could start building.
now the whole block stands empty.

agree with Harry.. . who would rather spend 15 mins telling an illiterate grease monkey exactly which piece of trim you're after and then have them charge you a retrieval fee for a poorly removed (ie screwdriver,hammer) item.. when a few mins of your own time could be spent to find the best quality part available (or even a better one from a later model)

piy ftw!

couldnt agree more ...and you can get all the clips / screws that come with it.

yeah, things like clips, screws...you just cant get them from a normal wrecker...thats where these kind of junk yards come in handy :-)
