U-Pull-It Junkyards Near You — 331 Across the US

Q: How much does it cost to get into a u-pull-it junkyard?

Admission runs $2-5 per person at most U.S. yards, paid in cash or by card at a walk-up window, with kids under 12 usually free. Part prices are then set by category or weight at the register — a used alternator might run $30-60, while scrap-priced glass or trim can be just a few dollars.

Q: Do I need to bring my own tools to a u-pull-it yard?

Yes — bring a basic socket set, wrenches, pliers, and a floor jack, since almost no yard hands out tools for free. A handful of chain yards like LKQ Pick Your Part rent tools at the front counter for a refundable deposit, but it's safer to assume you're on your own and pack a trunk kit before you go.

Map listings don't distinguish a u-pull-it yard from a full-service salvage lot where staff pull the part for you — and plenty of yards run both models on the same property for different sections of cars. Every u-pull-it tag here is checked against the yard's own website or posted admission/pricing page, not guessed from the listing category.

Bring your own tools and check the inventory locator first. Wrenches, sockets, a floor jack, and gloves are on you — most yards sell nothing but the parts themselves, though a few (like LKQ Pick Your Part and U-Pull-&-Pay locations) rent a basic toolkit at the counter for a cash deposit. Call or check the yard's online inventory search before driving out, since cars typically sit on the lot only 30-45 days before they're crushed.
