Pick-n-Pull

I travel well out of my way to go to this Carson Pick n Pull as opposed to the one much closer to me in Sparks. The Carson City Pick n Pull always has a better selection of cars that are not nearly as needlessly destroyed or vandalized, much cleaner yard (well, as clean as junkyards get of course), but most of all the employees there are much more approachable, friendly, and welcoming than Sparks’ location. If they keep up their great location, I’ll keep making the road trip.

Don’t come here if you have kids, cause you’ll need to find a babysitter. Also the rewards part offers you a free admission (which is normally 2 $), but you can’t use it immediately. You can only use it when they decide to send it to your email.
The staff was rude about the fact that it couldn’t bring my son in back with me. I’ve been to pick and pulls before… This is the worst…
Oh and when it came to checking out (my husband) after I had been sitting in the car with our son for an hour the cashier completely ignored him after telling him to wait at the counter while she proceeded to help 3 other fresh in the door customers.
Will NEVER be back! Would rather drive to RENO!

always kept away from this place as I was getting my parts via Ebay and other online parts stores, but I wanted something that I just couldnt find online and ventured over to see if they by chance had my vehicle there, and Wham! they just got one in! I went over to row 5 and JACKPOT! a whole car! I was beside myself now here I am toolbox in hand and here is this untouched car ready for me to just rip into it! this was the longest time I had ever spent in a wrecking yard.5 hours! and since I got so much stuff they suggested I sign up for the rewards program called Toolkit so I did and since then I get my discounts, free entry after so many points and the deals… cant get over it.

Pretty big lot with a decent variety of vehicles to pick-​n-​pull from. Awesome if the type you’re looking for is right near the front of the yard, kinda balls if what you’re looking for is alllllllll the way down the other end of the yard — it’s a good 15 to 20 minute walk under the summer sun (bring water, apply suncream). Being as it’s right down the road from Tahoe, there are more Jeeps to pull from than you shake a stick at.
Really, this would be a «Yay! I’m a fan!» review, but I remember going to PnP back in the day with my dad and as I got older, boyfriends and it was CHEAP. That’s why it was so much fun to go — it was so ridiculously cheap. It’s still less expensive than getting parts new, but with all the additional charges they’ve tacked on (EPA, recycling, etc) it’s not as much of a junk finding high as it used to be.
Good Fun Fact: We saw two people get turned away as we were waiting to check in because they were wearing sandals /​flip-​flops. Really y’all? Use common sense. Wear closed toe shoes.
Good Fun Fact #2: The only bathroom I saw was a Portapotty hidden halfway back on the lot. I dunno about you, but the thought of putting my heiny on a Portaseat in a pull yard full of men was inspiration enough to hold it.

Im a fan of this place just because there seems to be more of the things I cannot find in Sacramento area Pick and Pulls. Not a big fan of that freekin hill though! Since every time I need something its on the last rows! Its nice that they can look vehicles up now and tell you what row they are in. So if you dont want to walk out there you dont have to. I would recommend taking some water and all your tools and a wheelbarrow with you if there is a chance you might find what you need. Cause walking all the way back to the front and up and down that big hill again is not fun!

For only $ 1 you can go all day and hang out with busted up cars. There is no better thing than that.
The staff at the front counter is friendly and helpful when you need to find a particular car.
I can’t stand having to walk all the way to the back of the yard (seems like a mile walk uphill) for small Chryslers but my small Chrysler died so I won’t need it as bad nowadays.
Great prices on parts.
