What is U Pull It?
A “you pull a part” salvage yard, also known as a self-service salvage yard, is a type of auto salvage yard where customers can browse the yard and remove parts from vehicles themselves. Here’s how it typically works:
- Entry Fee: Customers usually pay a small entry fee to access the yard.
- Tools: You bring your own tools to remove the parts you need.
- Selection: The yard has a variety of vehicles, often organized by make and model, from which you can pull auto parts
A realistic appraisal of U Pull It Inventory.
Make no mistake about it, money can be saved by purchasing used auto parts at You Pull It inventory salvage yards. The savings are generally in the 40% range, oftentimes higher, and that can mean thousands of dollars saved each year for a DIY car owner.
The main drawback to this business model is one of scope. In 2023, there were approximately 285 car models available in the United States, with more added each year. It is physically impossible for salvage yards to have 285 different car models on their location, not to mention the various years for each model made.
You Pull It salvage yards were viable fifty years ago when the number of car brands and models were much fewer in number, but today it is literally impossible to carry the inventory necessary to be useful.
What it all means to you, the average car owner.
What does this all mean to a car owner who is intent upon DIY repairs? It means they either have to purchase used parts online from an online company, or they have to purchased parts from local salvage yards which are not You Pull It but rather full-service in nature.
But wait! Don’t full-service salvage yards face the same issue of size and scope? No, simply because they all have access to an app which allows them to search the inventories of all salvage yards across the county. This way they can find those “hard to find” used car parts and have them shipped to their location.
In a computerized world, finding just about anything is possible. And that means the same great savings can be found at full-service salvage yards, and that is great news for all car owners.
