Pick-N-Pull is a butt rape.

Wow, when I read the original post three pages ago, I thought I was in a Chevy forum! You seem to have summed it up in your own words. "I am just tired of people taking advantage of others. We are already over-taxed and over regulated.". That being said, the government that took advantage of everyone by over taxing and over regulating all of us, would make companies that want to stay in business turnaround and attempt to generate that money from somewhere else to offset their losses. I am a salvage yard owner in a family business of 46 years and I do remember the first time I ran to another yard to get something I didn't have and had to pay those bs core charges for a door, a fender, etc. I shook my head, laughed it off and that was that. I never thought someone would be complaining about it on a Mopar forum, that's what fb and twitter are for! Throughout this entire feed, a good amount of you guys got the picture, and several others didn't. The fees that yards have to absorb from utilities, government regulations, the city, insurance companies, State fees and so many more, are so exuberant that it's not surprising why so many yards are closing. And as for sales tax, you're in one of the 46 states that has to pay it, so why that was mentioned I'll never understand. Being a Mopar man all my life I'm very happy that these yards do exist, and if there's ever anything in one that can be used on a Chrysler, that's icing on the cake. Also, I remember in the 80s when thievery was at its highest, customers were jumping the fence stealing muncies and hemi four speeds, and in one case a complete engine right over the gate. I spent many a nights with my dad waiting all night in the yard to catch some perpetrators and strangle them, but was never lucky enough. That being said, there are many reasons why yards, make that smaller mom-and-pop yards, would want to add some fees to try to offset so many of our losses. The corporate yards are actually ones that you could possibly call "whores", but for small yards, at least in my case, I actually do care about the people and I've always been fair with all of my customers. Except for the Chrysler parts, those I never sold and always kept for myself!
