This was my first time at a junkyard and I have to admit, it was actually kind of fun. Not having had any experience at all at a salvage yard (and being a girl) I was a bit nervous and didn't know what to expect. Luckily the guys there were all helpful.
Unfortunately they didn't have the sun visor I needed (HINT: visors are pretty popular--I looked in a lot of cars that were there and didn't see a single one.) But I did salvage a couple of the clips that hold the visor up and out of the way--AND they didn't charge me. Score!
The car I was picking from had already been there 8 days so another lesson learned: call daily and if the car you need comes in, GET THERE FAST.
Also, guys probably already know this but ladies, be sure to dress appropriately. Heavy jeans, sturdy shoes or work boots. This is NOT the place for shorts, tank tops and sandals. Bring gloves and tools. And if you're salvaging for small parts like I was, bring a backpack or something to carry your stuff in that you won't care if it gets dirty. Be careful--lots of broken glass everywhere. I'm glad I was prepared--I saw women out there who weren't and they didn't look like they were doing too well.
A bit far to drive from Hendo where I am (especially since they didn't have what I needed) but as far as services go, very friendly and helpful.
