apperantly soon you have to pay to get in, it may only be a dollar, but its still a pain in the ass considering i go there multiple times on the weekend usually.

pyp = old junk cars

lately, prices have been going up, selection has been going down, cars are getting grouped togeather by type and not manufacturer, weekend deals have pretty much dissapeared on usefull things like motors and transmissions, and now they are charging to get in.

this fee is another move by the new managment from the states, BOOurns

its like paying $1 to get into canadian tire or superstore to do SHOPPING.

Unbelievable...

First the shitty specials. Then the sign in crap. Then the no refund policy. And admission? I hope they go under asap.

its nothign like that, atleast at canadian tire and superstore you know what products are in the store before you *would* pay admission... this is paying a dollar for a chance to find soemthing, i am a troubleshooter at times, i try several small things at once, one day i went there 5 times (i only live 5 mins away) to get relays and such to troubleshoot, that would have cost me an extra $5, skr00 them, its just bullshit what they are doing.

again, this proves that Pick Your Part is going down the toilet. It would not surprise me that they will take the entry admission off because less and less people are coming. Bucks is now the place to go, and going to those NE wreckers in around the airport might not be a last resort anymore!!!:banghead:

i dont go to pyp anymore. i dont like the place. shit there is expensive. you can pay up to half of the new price for an item for a used one of unknown quality that you had to tear off. i say boycott

Bucks gets my business. They were good when I was in Winnipeg too. PYP is also kinda scary too. The cars are sitting on welded rims (an accident waiting to happen). At least at Bucks most of the cars are on steel welded racks.

As everyone else has said , a big F U to PYP. I mean christ when it was free to get in I would feel ripped off just for wasting my time in that yard. Now there is a 100% gaurantee that you will get ripped off. :thumbsdow Hopefully Buck's will take this oppurtunity to get their shit together.

PYP doesn't have a 90 day refund policy anymore? Was it really bought by americans?

I noticed more cars had fallen off the welded rims since the new admission sign-in policy.

kinda off topic but how exactly do you get to bucks..........I know it's off blackfoot and 58th ave but after that I'm lost. Any help would be great.:thumbsup:

08-03-2004, 09:47 PM
head towards deerfoot on 58th turn right at the end of 58th then make an almost immeadiate left. youll then more or less be forced north. you CANT get lost from there

i havent been in there in about a year now. boycott. i also havent bought anything at canadian tire/part source in almost 9 months (and i have had car troubles).

So what's the verdict? Has the $1 admission been implemented? I can't see how they will survive if they implement it - most people there are broke and won't pay the admission premium.

I absolutly Loathe PYP...I originally wrote a rant a page long but would likely go to jail for uttering threats.

that place will never see another dime outta my pocket.

Bunch of assholes.

what everyone needs to understand is, selling used parts isnt really their business anymore. scrap steel exporting is. they make money by taking junked cars and sending them to china to be recycled. there is no reason to support them anymore cause they dont need it.

damn, 1 dollar is usually more than my bill there.

Sometimes you just have to grab a shift knob or turn signal. Guess i have to start paying back for all my "freebies".

On second thought, wont this encourage more vandals/thiefs?

newsflash, they pay you like $40 for a car and make that off of 2-3 parts, (hell most cars that go there probably have parts on them that were bought there so they are selling the same part twice) they are making a fucking killing and they just want to extend that killing.

:werd:

A dollar!! Why dont they just weigh you when you come in and do it dump style.

they are good guys and I understand they are runnning a business but I think even a dollar will deter some people.

I swear some guys hang out there just to have some time away from the wife.

NEWSFLASH
Its called a business, don't support it if you don't like it...

I don't like the fact that Harry Rosen charges so much for clothes, but I don't go in there to take a dump, buy a pair of socks and put a canali tie in my pocket cause I feel slighted.

They made a business decision, and obviously are prepared to stand behind it.

when you get your hand stamped when u first go in at PYP then u can leave and come back and dont have to pay another $1 long as u still got the stamp on your hand.

PYP: if it fits in your pocket its free. and if you see anything worth value get it or forget it, cars get picked over so fast. i found a set of half decent bucket seats and didnt have room to take them with me so i went back the next day and they are gone. i was going to use my credit things... now im stuck with $80 credits :guns:

i notice at bucks now there is the workers walking around watching what you are doing now too.

yeah, manchester has all the good stuff. but they want more then anyplace else. pick your part has pretty much every car thats about 14 years old. bmw audi, you name it.
