    I dont live in the Twin Cities but make lots of road trips for parts. I have seen on another forum a place call u-pull-it parts. I searched and could only come up with u-pull-r parts. Is this the same thing as I was told that u-pull-IT parts has a few cars of the models that I would need some parts for.

    If these are 2 different places wcould somone give me the location of u-pull-it parts
    thanks

    East Bethel.

    The real issue here is that people frequently refer to any junkyard where you can go out and pull the parts yourself as a "u-pull"

    So, there are the u-pull-r-parts yards in Rosemount and east Bethel, but what other "u-pull" type yards arein the Twin Cities?

    there are a bunch. 2 UPullRParts locations ( www.upullrparts.com ). there's French Lake Auto Salvage. and that's all I can think of now.

    There used to be a couple in Alexandria.


    look in the phone book under "car parts - used".

    Viking stopped doing u-pull quite some time ago I was told.

    I used to go there every sat morning when I lived in Northfield :) Good times.

    I do not have a phone book for the Twin Cities. I live 240+ miles away.

    I was at Viking yesterday. No more "u-pull", but their prices (at least what we inquired about) we're good. They didn't have much for Subie's newer than the GC-chassis era, though.

    Here's a related question.

    U-Pull-R-Parts doesn't sell anything that doesn't unbolt from a car.

    I'd really like to source a roof skin for an old Sentra. So what yards allow you to show up with a sawzall and go nuts?

    not many. too much liability. but you could probably pay them to cut it off.
