Pick-N-Pull is a butt rape.

I've been going there for years. I was around to see the beginning of self serve yards in the Sacramento area.
It has changed a bit over the years though.
For several years, they charged tax on cores but didn't refund the tax when you brought the POS back. That is illegal. They stopped doing that. I fully understand a core charge for something that has a reasonable expectation of being rebuilt. Engines, transmissions, alternators, starter, etc. Charging a core for a piece of steel is a money grab.
I am just tired of people taking advantage of others. We are already over-taxed and over regulated.
Some guys are passive and don't mind it when others walk all over them.
That isn't me.
