U pull ripoff

i don't see what all the grumping and groaning is about. even as somebody who skews toward the younger demographic on here even i remember when these yards were cheap and littered with cars that had useable parts for our hobby.

that's shifted now. everything there is early 2000's and late 90's with some 80's stuff. but if you sit back and have a think on it, not much has really changed. in the early 2000's it was all 80's crap and 70's with some late 60's stuff.

LKQ is a massive corporation who's been around forever. they are in business to make money, not enable hobbyists. to think that they initiated the CARS program is just silly. it was a federal bill intended to provide economic incentives toward purchase of new fuel efficient vehicles; so saying they had a hand in passing the legislature is some grade A conspiracy ****.
don't like their prices? buy reman, buy off ebay, buy a whole car and part it.

i don't know about your situation, but they've always charged an entry here in socal. it used to be a dollar. now it's 3. big whoop. if 3 bucks is gonna break you, then stay home, you'll use more gas getting there. also, if you look at your receipt, there's a line item on there where they refund your entry.

last weekend i hit three yards, it was about 100mi loop. i saw some cool **** and pushed my tool box laden dolly thru the battle grounds, but ultimately came up with zip. sometimes you win. sometimes the yard hangs a donut on you.

if you're still put off about it all, you an always tie another onion to your belt and write a very strongly worded letter.
