What is a U Pull It Inventory?
Imagine you are looking for a fuel pump for a 2002 Toyota Camry. You check on the cost of them new, find out the price is beyond your budget, but without that fuel pump you cannot drive your car to and from work.
You decide to go to a pull a part junkyard with a u pull it inventory. You drive there, get out of your borrowed truck, enter the office, and ask them which section of their wrecking yard the Toyotas are located in. They tell you and you proceed to walk through that area until you find a 2002 Camry.
You pull out your tools, remove the fuel pump you need, take it to the office, pay a discounted price, and then head home to install the much needed part.
That is a salvage yard with a u pull it inventory. You, the customer, pulls the part you need. It is used, it is discounted in price, and it has a limited life, but at least you can afford it and you can be back on the road for a little while, giving you enough time to save up for a new fuel pump.
Transitioning to full-service salvage yards.
Same scenario, same Camry, same need, you have your buddy drive you to one of the local salvage yards. You walk into the office, tell them you need a fuel pump for a 2002 Toyota Camry, they send one of their employees out into the yard, they extract the part you need, bring it to you, and you pay for it. Again with a discounted price, again with a limited lifespan . . . the only thing which has not changed between the two scenarios is that you are not required to get dirty and roam around the yard looking for your part in the second scenario.
Which is better for you?
This, then, is the big question for you to answer.
U Pull It salvage yard generally sell their used auto parts for less than full-service salvage yards. That is the good news. The bad news is most salvage yards cannot possibly carry every year, make, and model of all the cars made during the last, say, twenty or thirty years, so there is an excellent chance the U Pull It salvage yards will not have what you need. Thus, they are cheaper but much less reliable.
We don’t know which is better for you. That is for you to decide. By far the largest number of salvage yards are full-service, so if you want a u pull it, you better hurry before they become extinct.
