Overview

Pick-n-Pull at 1150 E Childs Ave, Merced, CA 95340

Pick-n-Pull is a self-service auto salvage yard in Merced where customers can find used auto parts from a variety of vehicles. The yard works on a "u-pull-it" system—you bring your own tools, find the parts you need, and remove them yourself. This keeps costs down while giving access to affordable, reusable parts. The yard takes all types of vehicles, from trucks and SUVs to sedans and newer cars. It’s a common spot for DIY mechanics, repair shops, and anyone looking to cut costs on auto repairs.

Services & What to Expect

Pick-n-Pull is a self-service junkyard, meaning you handle the part removal yourself. The yard has a large selection of vehicles in different conditions, so you can browse and pick parts directly from the cars. Common parts available include engines, transmissions, tires, body panels, and interior components. You’ll need to bring your own tools—wrenches, sockets, and safety gear. The yard doesn’t clean or test parts, so check them carefully before taking them.

Pricing depends on the vehicle’s condition and part demand. There’s no fee for browsing, and you only pay for the parts you take. If you have an old car or junk vehicle you no longer need, selling it for scrap is a simple way to get rid of it. Many salvage yards, including Pick-n-Pull, accept vehicles in any condition for recycling or part reuse.

Went in there once, and the second we started talking in Spanish, some of the guys behind the counter just started laughing. Then they hit us with an extra charge for something, and the rest of the staff joined in like it was all some joke. Felt like we were the punchline. ---

Honestly, if you're trying to save money on car parts, this Merced Pick N Pull is a solid spot. The staff there are all good people—never had a bad experience with any of them. I’ve been coming back for batteries, tires, and whatever else I need, and I’ll keep doing it. Thanks for making it easy! ---

The people here actually care about helping you find what you need. They’ll walk you straight to the part, tell you the exact numbers, and make sure you’re not guessing. Saves a ton of time and hassle, and the prices are fair. ---

John, the manager, is the real deal—knows his stuff, gets things done fast, and doesn’t waste your time. No nonsense, just good service. ---

I’m not exactly a mechanic, but I’m trying to learn how to fix my own car. This place is perfect for that—tons of parts to take apart and figure out. Love tinkering around here.
