LKQ bought City Salvage on 70/Miami in Durham. It's now a self-serve/pick & pull: http://www.lkqselfserve.com/FindaLo...rhamSelfServeAutoParts/tabid/217/Default.aspx

I was there to get some stuff for the other car a few weeks ago and there was an 88 (I think) XJ with a set of RC full rear springs, looked like maybe 4 1/2". I didn't have the right tools to pull 'em. Probably gone by now :-( but there were at least 4 other XJs there in various states of pull-age.

Hey Katuah, thanks for that! that one is only about 10 min away from where i work, so that is definitely useful!

Last time i checked, there was a 2$ entrance fee. is that the same? also - do you recall if they accept Credit cards there or at the LKQ in Clayton?

thx!

Yep, $2 entrance fee in Durham, and yes, they take credit cards. They let me take in my cordless drill and a hand saw, but I dunno what they'd do if I showed up with a power saw. I heard them telling one guy not to bring in a propane torch. Duh.

Dunno about LKQ Clayton, I've not been out there. It's on the other side of the Triangle from me - I'd be more likely to go to Greensboro, unless I was going with somebody else. Speaking of which - are there any open-to-the-public JYs in the Burlington/Mebane/G'boro area?

I use their Greenville SC location frequently.

There's Memphis, Durham, Greenville and Charleston links.

After a weekend driving around, I found Bevell's U-Pull-it.

$2 entrance fee, but a lot of vehicles.

Then, made the greatest discovery; http://www.youngsautocenter.com/

That turned out to be the biggest yard in NC. I surprised. Didn't get much time to look, but they have a LOT of vehicles. Easily 4x bigger than any yard I have ever seen.

Hey, I found this junkyard on a website that turned up when I was searching something other than junkyards. I have no firsthand knowledge of this place but I copied what was on the site for anyone that is interested. Maybe someone local can help with what kind of place it is and if they are a decent place to buy parts.
