How Does an Auto Parts Salvage Center Work?

Your guide to the Carolina Pick-N-Pull experience

 

You’re driving down the road on your normal morning commute, possibly even making the usual motions without even thinking about them since you’ve made this very trip so many times.

But then, there’s an odd noise, or something simply falls off, and suddenly your boring routine just got more interesting – though not in a way you might have wanted. The good thing is that if you know something about working with cars, then you can probably take care of the problem yourself. You just need the right tools, and the parts that match your daily driver, and you’ll be on your way. If you’re at all good with your hands, going to a shop to have your car fixed might feel like an unnecessary chore, not to mention a strain on your wallet. Sound like you? At Carolina Pick-N-Pull, we make it easy to find what you need and get your wheels back out on the street, all without breaking the bank.

 

Find what you need

Sometimes, the hardest part of the entire process is just finding what you need to fix your car, not necessarily actually getting in there and getting the job done! Our website is kept up-to-date with all of our inventory for each location, so we recommend starting there. When you see the item you’re looking for, make note of important details like which location claims to have it and the row number; that way, you don’t waste any time having to relocate it in the yard. That being said, our knowledgeable staff is always on hand to answer questions and lend a second pair of eyes to the search.

 

Ask for help

Maybe you’ve already gone to our website, searched all over the database, but still can’t find the part you need to get back out on the road. As is the case with most auto parts salvage centers and self-service yards, our supply does fluctuate depending on what vehicles we’ve gotten in lately and how popular that particular part has been.
 
Luckily, Carolina Pick-N-Pull offers you a few ways to get back on track with your repairs. If you have the time to wait, you can add your information to our list, and we’ll keep an eye out for the items you’re looking for. Or, make use of our free referencing and Hollander parts interchange systems so you have an easy method of finding what you need from other vehicles, and purchasing them through us for a seamless transaction.

 

Onsite procedures

As you might have gathered from our company name, Carolina Pick-N-Pull is all self-service. So, when you arrive onsite, you’ll want to make sure you bring all your own tools and safety gear, and be ready to get your hands a little dirty. When in doubt, pack up anything you might normally use to work on a car at home – minus torches and jacks – and a friend to help you out if you need an extra set of hands. Our staff is always around to help facilitate, but for the most part, any heavy lifting is up to you. All customers need to be at least 16 years old, and we highly recommend checking the price list before you start pulling parts off any of the cars in the yard. Ready to get started?
