NO WAY! I would be out of a Job.
I run a VERY Large "JUNK" yard and there is no way were coming to an end.
We go thru 45,000 cars per year, in our three yards and probably over 500,00 throught out our company.
We service all walks of the Customer line, Body shops, Internet(ebay), Retail walk in, Self service and Full service.
We also sell thru most Advance Auto Parts Store's.
Maybe the Mom and Popshops will but we got enough parts to service alot of Cars.
I ship out almost a 200 parts a day!
We can get most Parts from our Region (8 states) the Next day.
You can go to www.LKQCORP.com to View our Inventory (1969-2007) anywhere in the Country!

I have found that sticking to the same junkyardreally helps. I've ended up taking the guys at my favorite junkyard pizza. When you do that they are more willing to help you. This particular yard picks yourparts for you. After shopping there for over a year on the regular and bringing them pizza once or twice I'm allowed to go behind the fence and pick my own stuff. Alot of times if its small he just gives it to me. I love finding rare parts in there .
