The Reality of Most You Pull It Salvage Yards!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лип 2021
- In this video we go to a different self serve salvage/junk yard to see what car parts we could find. This yard was outside of Charlotte, NC in Rock Hill, SC and is called a You Pull It yard where you have to pull off your own parts. They did not have an inventory list available online, but you could ask them at the counter for what cars they have available for picking on the yard. There was a shortage of euro cars, especially BMW, but there were tons of jdm cars. This had to be one of the worst pull a part/ you pull it salvage yards I have been to. Let me know down below if you would like to see another one of these!

"It's an 84 Jaguar. Wonder what happened for it to get here"
It's an old Jag, that's what happened 🤣
Ain't that the truth! My grandpa had a few of the xj6/xj8 qnd xjs back in the late 90s, cool cars, but terrible cars. Especially that v12 xjs 😂
my friends mother learned to wrench because her husband got her one she had watned forever and learned why the machanic laughed and said they would get to know eachother on a first name basis.... shes stil got it but they did a full engine and trans swap out on it, selling her old parts to somebody who really wanted them for his car, wasnt cheap but..thanks to that, its still running and using an engine she cane wrench on herself easily..
Someone likely walked by it with a popsicle... Jag got too cold, and never started again. Sad story, but true
It’s sounds cheesy but when I don’t find anything at all I at least fill my pockets with fuses and relays just to get something for the entrance fee. You’ll have a life time of fuses. LoL
That's a good idea! I have a bunch of relays and fuses from cars that I used to part out, once I start running low I may just do that lol
@@ShopLifeTV Also another great YouPull it Junk yard tip is also look in the closed trunks of the POS cars that nobody cares about. People remove parts (like rare lights) and hide them in lesser valued POS cars cause they either don’t have the money for them that day or click a pic of the item and post them for sale online and if they sell they come back for them from there secret hidden places (hidden in a POS car trunks). Just sayin check and think outside the box. I got lucky 3x’s with the hidden trunk treasures. 👍👍
@Leonardo Santuario Wait how is it theft if fuses aren’t even on any junkyards price sheet at all? 🤷🏻♂️ That’s like saying you’re a thief for taking napkins, ketchup and straws from Mc Donald’s after you payed them for something.
@Leonardo Santuario you must of thought it was “shopliftTV” no no. This is a family quality channel. 🙃🤪
So real!!!😅
The junk yard is therapy to a lot of us gearheads!😂
I met a older guy at the yard. He was looking at a Cadillac. I asked if he was looking for anything specific. He tells me,
My wife goes shopping at the mall, I come to the yard to relax.😃
Yes indeed. I tell my homies that me in the junk yard is worse than an old lady at a yard sale
Absolutely! Couple of months ago I just discovered this about my self. Totally therapeutic ! The search, the people, the memories and the calm...
When I go it is like going to a library. Every vehicle has a story of a lifetime.
Not to mention some of the stuff you find. I've found money, old coins, tools n stuff
I remember taking a friend to a pull-a-part yard...she felt so sad for all of the many cars
All these cars had moments of happiness and pride when they were owned or bought by someone in the past
You-pull boneyard is like Disneyland for me. I’ve spent 8+ hours in them often.
Junkyard finds are like thrift finds. Never know what you’ll get but sometimes there are gems out there!
Couldn't have said it better myself. We love thrifting as well!
Plus it is a lot of fun like a treasure hunt !
I come to this yard every now and again, it’s a pretty great yard! They refresh inventory regularly, but it looks like they haven’t gotten much new stuff since I was last there a couple months ago.
Pandemic and car shortages probably the reason
You saying it's messy made me laugh. You should have went through old school yards back in 70's and 80's, God I miss back when you never knew what you were going to find. Bought my first car out of a yard a year before I got my license, imagine 13 year old riding up on a stingray bike and cutting your first deal. Can't beat it, you kids don't have a clue what you missed and how it used to be. Didn't order it online you dug for best parts you could adapt and use and then rebuilt or modified to best of your ability.😁
sounds like a fun time!
No kidding. This place is really clean. You don't have to step over anything. Not even any oil puddles.
I still have a few hidden gem yards I go to around Southeast Michigan, but they are getting very rare. Still go to them regularly for parts on my '86 F-150
I can’t even buy a car once it hits the yard here because of some stupid bureaucracy about it “no longer being a car legally”
@@alex59248 isn't government great? 😠
Honestly, this is what I admired about communist (spit!) Cuba. Nothing there went to waste. They kept every fifty year old car running as well as they could, until it just couldn't be done anymore.
When I go to the salvage yard , after I find what I need I always walk around n just look at n inspect stuff . love it
Finding a not messed chassis project is a gem.
I loved the simplicity in chaos. My maintenance job for my car may take 30minutes to get to a part. But it only takes me a couple minutes at a junkyard. Hose in the way? Cut. Clips or plastic crap in the way? Pull and break. Corroded wires won't undo the sensors? Cut. I love it.
Well ya win some, lose some. Anyhow, nice tour and commentary guys! Chest cam worked out nicely too. Definitely keep going with your pick-a-part series.
Thank you! glad it worked out and yes i will add it to the kind of videos i make
@@ShopLifeTV
Right on! I noticed your last vid doing really well. Look forward to the next one.
Make more videos like this, I enjoy going to the junkyard myself
Will definitely sprinkle in videos like this along with our normal uploads!
I always bring a battery jumper with me. Works really well as long as the cables are intact.'70s and '80s Ford car brake proportioning valves are worth their weight in gold!
So funny, when I was about 20 (30+ years ago), scrap yards in the UK had cars piled up 4 cars high and I used to climb up and take parts off them to keep my car running. Cannot do that these days Lol
Hahaha, by about 13:33 I was almost yelling "Dude, LOOK TO YOUR LEFT! By 14:00 I did actually yell at the monitor like some demented gamer lunatic lol. And then you finally did.
SAME with both the 635 and the e28
16:00 you missed that killer hood! lol
:-) I didn't even notice that.
I use pull a part places to do dry runs on big jobs. No Cap. It helps just in case you run into any issues.
Well shit I might need to start doing that, pulling the tranny from my zx2 escort was a pain in the ass
Datsun truck had the most valuable stuff in my opinion, any body parts for those are difficult to source.
I drove a pickup the that got hit when parked. I live in a no fault state. Just my luck the other truck that hit was with the same insurance company. So they total it. I said I will take the cash. I removed the bed and straightened the frame my self and used the cash to buy 2 x10 s and some 14 gauge sheet metal. I made a new bed. I drove for it 4 more years. It got morning sickness and I gave it to a storage yard to use to just move things around. I did not have the time to pull the trans and rebuild it. If it was a stick I would have kept it.
As someone who works at a pull a part yard, we usually clean up the aisles everyday during the regular week, having to pull out a row of vehicles to make space for new ones, if its weekends then it all depends on who decides to show up. Great video 👌
that's cool! thanks for watching
Plastic bumpers on the e30!!!! Some sort of weird fabric sport seats and late model tail lights too…. Junk yard finds are the best feeling…great video
Lmao. When the video started I was like “man that’s a crappy junk yard, he should go to the one we have here” then he said “right outside of Charlotte, NC” then I realized that he might’ve been to the one I go to already cause I live in Charlotte😂 Btw, the one I go to is called LKQ self service.
yes most of the u-pull-it's remove alot of the big ticket items and list them for sale "install" them for you before going to the yard I've noticed with all the ones I've been too
@18:18 i usually cut off connectors for when i build my own custom stuff because theyre too expensive to buy online. Finding them is also difficult, so cutting these harnesses is the best way to get them cheap. Thats one possible reason someone came and took parts of the harness.
Alot of OEM connectors have part numbers on them. I have found lots of new replacement connectors to repin harness.
here in Calif now that pick a part and ecology auto parts merged into a single company their used auto part prices are near to cost of new...
When I go on vacation somewhere I always visit at least 1 to look around. St. Louis has one that is all concrete so no gravel.
Wait a damn minute
I love the salvage yards good stuff man i love the content!
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
After seeing that 635 bmw, it reminded me that I have set of Alpina Rims, intake manifold and front leather seats that came off my 1980 Euro 635csi sitting in my shed I have to put on line to sell
Jeepster near the end on the other side of the fence. It's white with a black top. That could be a cool rebuild for the right person.
There’s a pull it yard in St. Louis that is similar. No inventory, no clue what’s on the property, very weird but it works for German stuff. Most people it seems won’t take the time to gamble if anything is there. Tire mark on the 635 looks like a jeep backed into them
The IRS in the series III Jag. Big money right there. (well they used to be to the hotrod guys)
6 series. I grew up driving my brothers 79 635csi
Dude this is Rockhill SC and I frequent this location often. The prices are right and the staff is really nice. I love this one. I find lots of good stuff there. Good job!!! We should go junkyard scouting....check out Sunshine im Orangeburg SC...pretty big
I found a cool set of mini tools in a spare tire at pick n pull the other day
lol my mother used to buy a new BMW every three years. From experience I can tell you will be going to salvage yards a lot. At around 60 thousand miles they fall apart . Mother finally stop buying the junk a few years ago
The 3:40 Scion tC you kinda ignored because it wasn’t your thing used to have a big ass turbo and was pushing big numbers for a mostly stock engine it was crashed doing some dumb speed runs and pulls on the street
This is great. I’m north of there in concord
before I watch the video I will say I got a set of aftermarket headlights for my V6 Charger when I still had it for $50, when I checked they were being sold for $350, absolute steal
Nice!
Is anyone else heart broken to see that 635csi in the yard like that?
That makes two of us!
@@ShopLifeTV Make that three.
A Jeep or SUV with the spare tire on the back hit it in a parking lot.
Good vid! It is indeed just as if we are with the host and looking over his shoulder.
Junkyards are awesome.
Thanks for the feedback Harry!
Id be grabbing every ABS module, every bulb lol
There's some interesting stuff in that yard for sure! (but no "high value chargers").
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice to see what they have in inventory lately...
They don't carry what I drive, but they used to carry what I used to drive.. lol..
And it's funny you're actually at the parts lot I go too..🤣🤣🤣
And one of the last times I went for parts, it downpoured, and I jumped into an old junker till it blew over.. Smoked a fatty too.. lol🤣🤣
14:45; that 635 was hit in the salvage yard by a car on a forklift. That's how you get that clear tire and wheel impression.
This looks like every U pull we had arond Montreal 15 years ago, than one place opened with clean cars, clean yard, pictures and inventory of cars online and over times , all the shitty yards closed and the good one opened yards all around the province
Awesome content,wish we had this. In South Africa people see dollar signs as soon as you pull up with a beemer
everything in that yard is a absolute gem to the right person thats looking for it
That isn't mold in the cluster. It's what they call ''flocking". It came like that, believe it or not, it just deteriorates over time. I own two E24s, both are like that.
saw both of your pick a part videos. both have the cars on rims.not know if weld to to the other rims or not. but i would never get under a car with that set up.here at the car part place. they got a 2 inch pipes weld to a 5 inch pipe for legs .then they set the car on the pipe .the pipe sets in front of the back wheel and just behind the front tires .the 2 inch pipe they use is about 10 feet long .a good set up.when you shook the hummer. thought it might fall over.lol
junk yard vids are cool
glad you like it! Thanks for watching!!
The junk yard videos are entertaining need more .
I will add it to the list of videos I make! thank you!
Good video. It's crazy that the u pull yards are are more like the yard I work at as far as being organized. Our local you pul yard is littlerty everything everywhere you'll have a Ford explorer next too a excavator everything from heavy equipment millatary 5 tons and more
10:54 You missed the teal color late 80s 5 series!
Nothing goes wrong on older, say seventies to late eighties BMW clusters, there is nothing in them anyway! Short of catching fire, you can revive one no problem with basic cleaning and assembly!
25:08 that is a jeepster!
My neighbor and i go to one once a month to rummage around.
I need some advise! I recently bought a facelift 2005 330ci with terrible aftermarket headlights. Now im considering some new headlights but dont know which way I should go. In my opinion, the m3 headlights of the era with a decent halo kit look the best. Is it possible to put an M3 headlight assembly into this year’s model? Or should I go for some stock HID headlights to save the hastle? Also if anyone reads this, which headlight setup do yall think looks the best?
I love the floppy hat. Even better than Indiana Jones, it's Indiana Jason! Raiders of the Lost Parts! LOL.
Btw the white 2000 E38 740iL IS a facelift car. 1999 through 2001 E38s are LCI facelift cars.
Hahaha thanks Brian. And yes you are correct about the facelift. I had it confused with the 2001 "cosmetic upgrades" with the color matched sideskirts/trim
@@ShopLifeTV i own an E32. I like the E32s and the E38s. Styling and mechanical complexity of E65/E66 fell out of favor with me. Ditto for the E34/E39s when the E60s came out. I like the E30s and E46s. Wasn't keen on the E9xs when the E92/E93 got the prettier looks than the E90 sedan and E91 wagon. I think the last year of the E38s got the clear lenses and body colored side moldings.
The diesel square body c10 some had hydro boost that works way better on engine swaps off the power steering units for brakes compared to a booster 🔥🔥
I told myself I would come back to this video once I find them, and I did I found a full set of factory all weather mats for my e46 m3 today at u pull n pay and they were only $18 and they matched my interior
So much cool American cars which you never see at here in Finland, nice trip for that place. Thanks!
Bro great content as usual. Been following you from early days, glad to see you progressing to where you are now 🙏🏽 Love from the UK 👊🏽
I get handfuls of fuses, and from e46 i get the valve cover washers.
I video'd my quick stop at a u pull it in Baltimore yesterday. My yard didn't have nearly the character of the one you were in.
......and somebody came and took all the fuses?.......
I love the junk yard ❤
Where is the Tesla section? 😁
hahaha maybe in another couple years!
@@ShopLifeTV I don’t think a Tesla section will ever exist. Everyone and their brother would be cutting up the aluminum to scrap it like a homeless guy on the side of the road finding a recycled can. 🤷🏻♂️
16:00 on the white hood😭🤣🤣
That bmw i keep talking about this is the exact yard i get my parts from XD i cant find the interior pieces i need now tho i just got a power steering pump from their o use till my new one gets here that yard is a good place
That 7 Series is an LCI model. Not a "pre-facelift" as you said
Noted! Had it confused with the 2001 model "cosmetic changes"
Check the Jaguars for Wood Trim The Tail Lights and Shifters and even Ash Trays. Even the Leapers on the fenders sell
Hey if your ever up north Harry’s-You-Pull-It in PA have a few yards like this. I’d rather go to Harry’s then Disney Land. More fun. But haven’t been there in awhile. Just Sayin.
The forklift dude usually puts old tires on his forks as to not damage the cars anymore than needed.
Thus the tire print on the BMW
Not damage the cars ! Clearly it didn't help on this occasion. Looks like it says general grabber spelt backwards
Love the Hat and SL videos are always brilliant!
lol thank you!
Do you have a Vid of how to replace a front passenger right side door harness on a 02’ bmw 325xi e46 sedan?
It's actually proven that BMW is becoming one of the most unreliable cars on the road. I love the look of them, but they are not what they use to be.
96 or older is good 3-5 series if you can find them
16:00 you missed that white hood 😂
Hahaha I didn't notice it at first. Impeccable timing!
If you weren't talking through the video it wouldn't even be watchable lol
There's a self serve yard near me with a whole row of E90s. Lol. That E30 would still be worth money in Toronto. I was freaking out when I thought you were missing the e28 and the 635! Lol
I'm glad you noticed that 635csi and the e28. Both are super awesome cars. Those seat covers on the shark nose are sheepskin and they are a very common thing for classic BMW's. It's a very common thing for classic Bimmer owners to do to their leather seats. But yeah, that 635csi and e28 were superb, and the Datsun 1600 was an amazing find on top of that. I have to love all because I have a Datsun 280zx and a 1989 BMW 325i Cabrio. Gotta love classic cars.
Edit: I am commenting again after watching the part where you found the e30, nice!!! The 325i still has many valuable parts on it, you just need to know what to look for. If it was a convertible a lot of the parts would be worth much more because they made less
Love the classics! thank you for watching
@@ShopLifeTV of course!
Awesome cars
I’d grab the floors mats from the E28
The front nose cone on the 6 series is worth good money.
13:08 The reason it is there is ....well, they weren't very good. I had a 1970. Constantly had to make adjustments to it every time I took it over a hundred miles. I jumped over to Toyotas and never looked back.
Usually you can bring in a cordless drill or impact. All you need to do is make an adapter to connect the battery to the car. I hear people cranking engines over that way, which is wild, certainly you could test electronics that way. Maybe you have to hotwire the car if the key is gone.
Amazing video keep up the good work 👍. Love the Salvage yard videos
Thanks! I enjoy them as well, even in the crazy humid heat and bipolar Carolina weather, I enjoy filming them. Hope to continue making more!
Comment for the effort: Probably shoulda taken that fuse box and the remnants of the harness if you had a fire. Also obviously, chest cam needs adjustment if you're bending over a wheelbarrow. :)
tip . 1. dress for your climate. 2 camelback H2O. 12v battery. always come prepared for parts you didn't expect. have or bring a cart blanket
Chatty Kathy 🤨 screw the haters. Keep doing what you doing.
Ever had an issue where the a/c stops working when it rains or after washing your car? Can't seem to figure it out. Maybe you can help.
Also have a white e38 m sport, most beautiful 7 series ever! Keep up the great content.
I love the E38, hope to do something with mine one day! Thanks for watching Ron!
Bmws are keepers they only end up in the scrap yard when they are totally done like no hope of rebuild lol
The light blue Ford LTD II sitting in front of the Yellow bug has its right front turn signal assembly. If good is valuable to the LTD and Ranchero guys. The wiper switch is also in demand.
First video I seen and I like how you bs talking about the things you do. I fo similar with truck parts so cool seeing this
Thanks for watching Scott!
Where exactly is this yard? Need to see the ole 60s stuff and g-bodies.
This style of video is super dope
Salvage yards ain’t what they used to be. In the Bay Area of California where I live these yards have high prices and slim pickings. I pulled an air intake off of a 2002 Ford Expedition and they wanted $89 for it. On eBay these things cost around $100.
Why should I waste my time lugging tools and dodging glass shards at a salvage yard when I can get the same part delivered to my doorstep in a few days.
The economics just don’t make sense anymore.
Some of the electrical switches on the dash of OBS Chevy/GMC trucks & SUVs can be pretty valuable and only take a few minutes to get....
Do they typically provide the wheel barrow for you?
No
Oh snap my dad lives in rock hill might need to get my self out to the yard some day. It's a little hard when you in pa but far less rust down that way
I went to my local yard which is pretty big to buy a front fender for a Chevy pick up!! The GM section is pretty large and I had hoped to find a decent front fender, BUT you have to know I live in New York State, so many of them are rusted beyond repair!!! The fenders around here that are not rusted are usually dented pretty badly too.......so I got to the GM section and walked around finding trucks like those I needed the fender from! Of course many were too rusted, or damaged, and I found one that was actually in decent shape, but hoped to find a better one!! So I skipped past the only fender I had found that was decent to search for maybe a better one!! About an hour of walking around further I decided there wasn't going to be a better fender and returned to the truck I had seen earlier with the only "good fender" I had seen all day!!
BUT as I walked back to the truck to get THAT fender, I saw a kid working on a car next to the truck! And just as I got to the row it was in I could hear him yelling and acting like an idiot!!
What happened next though broke my heart, as for what ever the reason the moron threw a ratchet at the windshield of the car he was working on, THEN spun around and kicked the ONLY FENDER I had found caving the whole thing in!! I had spent nearly two hours looking for a single decent fender, only to watch it get destroyed by a moron who had a temper tantrum!!!
My point is this.....the part you might need might be wasted if you remember idiots are allowed to pull parts too!! And if you find a decent part you might want to pull it off and drag it around with you while looking for perhaps better parts!!
Also there is no such thing as a "wasted trip" to the You Pull It Yard!! At least grab things you might be able to use later like a few spare nuts, washer and bolts or fuses or relays!! If you can even grab a few light bulbs as well, for interior lighting!! I don't know how many times I yanked a few dome light bulbs and needed one when I didn't expect it!! Older cars have small marker light bulbs as well that can also be found in dashboards of many cars, and it is always great to have a bunch on hand!! Another thing to grab at times are pigtails.....I was working on a 1999 F150 tail light problem and realized that the pigtail I had was the problem!! I had grabbed a spare pair of pigtails and ended up having to rebuild one working pigtail out of the two spares and the original part I had which saved me a ton of time too!!
Some of the door cards on the driver side for the Volvo's you walked buy tend to have some resale value. They tend to get trashed and the handles break off.
I know you're a beamer guy, but I always check the VWs for diesels when I visit the junker. Whole decently running 1.9 ALHs fetch hefty sums now. The pumps are minimum $150 is rough looking but working condition. Old working USDM mk1/mk2 diesel clusters are worth a fortune. Yards usually know what they got when they receive a TDI or diesel, but you get lucky fairly often.
The junk yard is my zen garden. I like looking up all sorts of cars and just pulling stuff I think I can profit off reselling. Sometimes you don't make out, but you always become 'that' guy your car scene goes to for word parts. If you ain't got it, you know a yard that does.
