Pick-N-Pull

Great place. So happy to have one in town. You neve know what goodies you will find here and at a very reasonable price.

After being refused within the operating hours at Auto Bucks, because they were close to closing time we headed to Pick-​N-​Pull to search out captain’s chairs for our Dodge Caravan. When we walked in the door a half hour before closing time the gentleman at the counter asked if we had signed their waiver, and took our loonie to get in the yard, then asked if we’d been there before or if we know what we were looking for and where we were going. I promptly told him I know I need a bucket seat, but have only been here once before. Upon getting the year, make and model of my vehicle he pulled out a 6 inch paper listing the exact vehicles i would need to search out to find the correct fitting seats. He reminded us they do close right at 5pm so we had a half hour to scope it out, but gave us directions to the section we needed to cut down our time. With it being an auto yard, there were parts strewn out between rows so it made sense why they don’t allow anyone under the age of 12 into the yard. So hubby waited in the van with the kids while my brother and me searched. Just as the guy at the counter had said we found the rows of vans and started searching. Within a few moments we had found the matching seats to what our van would need, but the van they were in looked in pretty rough shape like it had been totaled so i wasn’t completely confident in taking those seats, so we moved on. There were many options to choose from, but we found a van that didn’t look like it had been in an accident and both captains’ chairs were inside! Score! we checked all the functions, recline, folding locking and unlocking and the cup holder. After everything checked we pulled them out and headed to the check out where we were about 12^th in line. Surprisingly, and unexpectedly the line moved very quickly. in no time we were being served and asked if we wanted our seats marked discreetly in case we needed to bring them back. Upon saying no, i noticed they also have a tool kit club you can join for free and earn points. Upon joining you get 50 points and almost a point for every dollar you spend. When you reach 350 $ you get a free 20 $ gift card, how cool is that? Free to join with rewards to come! So within 40 minutes our day had turned around and i had my captains chairs and some great service. Will most definitely be keeping them in mind for the future!

Pick-​n-​Pull is a regular car junk yard but with a couple of nice options: all the cars in the lot have been jacked up, so the customers have an easy access to the bottom of the cars. The lot itself is tidy and neat, and the ground is covered with crushed rock, so in the spring and fall it stays relatively mud-​free. The head office is equipped with the computer, so that customers can request to look up parts they need before they enter the site. Recently the company added a nice feature to their website that allows customers to check inventory online. Now people can check whether or not the yard has the certain type of vehicles without leaving the comfort of their homes. A couple of things that made my husband a little skeptical about this business are that they charge a loony for the entrance, and that they give store credit for returned items. Other than that, the business is booming, especially now when people don’t have a lot of disposable income to spend on the brand new car parts. And it is always a nice idea to buy from junk yards because it is, in a way, a type of recycling.
