Most cars will end up in our yard so junkyard geniuses can pick ‘em apart for the parts they need to keep their cars running (or their neighbors cars, or their friends cars). Regardless, your parts go to good homes. At some point, every vehicle has to go the crusher which flattens ‘em out like a pancake. Once your junker is completely squished we sell it as scrap to a metal reclaimer who separates the various metals and recycles them.
One thing you may not know is that U-Pull is extremely eco-friendly. Before a car is put on our lots, we remove all the fluids so none of that mess leaks into the ground. All those fluids are reused. We never have to buy gas for our cars and we heat our buildings with oil from cars. Ka-ching!
We stand by our industry and have great pride in the part we do for the environment. If you want to talk about tree hugging, you oughta be out hugging backyard mechanics and grease monkeys, because those are the Americans who get greasy and bang their knuckles to yank used parts rather than buying new. Because used parts are way, way better for the environment.
Hey and consider this before you get all uppity about putting used parts in your car: your car is full of used parts. The minute you drove it off the lot it was nothing but used parts. And this is even more true of your ten year old cars. So, help us all out a bit and start yanking your own parts. It’s a lot more fun to do the job yourself.
