So does that mean the San Antonio PnP is a bit of a rarity?

Been through Monthan a few times on "field" trips when I was in aviation school. Incredible place.

This is where my OM617.951 and the parts for my war wagon came from:

If there's nothing there, just head up the road to the other yards there

The yards down here look a lot smaller than what you guys have shown out in TX and GA. The first link shows about 10 different yards, the second is close to 30-40 different yards.
They even have street view for one of the yards I frequent:

I spent about 6 hours there last weekend. I just wish they would indicate if a car is a 300D, SD or E on the car listing... Driving 50 miles to find that no cars have the water pump pulley I need is really annoying.
RE: Pull a part could learn a thing or two from the gubment. - tantank79 - 03-25-2009
Unfortunately, that's the risk of PnP. I too find if VERY annoying that they will not keep an inventory. I guess that's what you get when dealing with the wal-mart of junkyards. I do have to hand it to them for posting a price list. It really rubs me the wrong way when I go to the less professional yards and get the "Eh, 300 bucks I guess" type response.
There's another place on 35S outside 410 called "All Bimmers and Benzes." I have yet to go there, but I thought I would throw it out for consideration.
RE: Pull a part could learn a thing or two from the gubment. - ForcedInduction - 03-26-2009
They want you to enter the yard. Even if nobody buys anything, a few hundred people per day paying the $1-2 entry fee really adds up.

They are the kind of people that will give you a killer deal if you go there frequently and are sometimes willing to negotiate price on bigger stuff.

In little TJ (aka sun valley), there's over 100 junkyards in a 10 mile radius. Lucky me.

good ole' Ecology...spent many weekends in their yards...both here and in LA

You guys are soooo lucky. If you actually find a MB in a yard up here, they charge you a premium cause of the star. At the pick-n-pull unless you are there within the first couple of days of the car getting put out, you're SOL the car looks like it just came from a Chicago back alley.
