Yes, they are all closing down, both Ricemond and Slurrey location on the 10th of April.
Schnitzer steel wasn't seeing any profit at all, in fact they were losing money from the whole operation the entire time.

It's too bad cause they had a lot of newer cars.

there still a few auto wreckers there, but not pick and pull.
if you want pick and pull you will have to drive to Chilliwack.

Bad news. I've picked up many accessories and replacement parts for my older car. I've saved a ton of money.

I uno about you guys but I found it was a cool place to hang out to see some wrecked cars.
My friends and I went last summer to find one switch ended up having a pretty good time finding old cars like mazda 929, sera

Same, I remember when I was younger with my dad in Ralph's. Just imagining all the scenarios on how everything happened. Good times  | |

However, i did have an issue with the cover fee at Pick n Pull. Needless to say I turned around and went home when I was informed of their new policy, lol. The cashiers were a bit condescending too iirc. Took my business elsewhere just to save $1 lulz

That's the one advantage Pick-A-Part has being in Chilliwack, there aren't a dozen other wreckers within 5 minutes. Quote:

I didn't mind the admission fee. What I really liked about pick n pull was the set price for parts. When dealing with other wreckers, they like to make up a price as they go which is frustrating.

To the people who preferred Ralph's over pick and pull is on crack!
Ralph's overcharge and make up bullshit price VS pick and pull fixed pricing
That admission fee is justified if you dont go in there blind
ROW52 is an app for your phone that will allow you to check if the car you are looking for is there.
I will miss this place forsure

Pick and pull is the best autowrecking in my opinion. damn those guys give 50% off every 3months or so like damn. and membership is free, on some parts
you can actually negotiate the price. ive done it once. saved me 10$ hahaha
