Has anyone in the Northeast tristate are been to Joe's auto parts?

Linky....

I'm told its U pull it mecca, but just wondering if anyone on the boards can confirm this? I'm thinking of running up next week.

That's where I shop. The cars aren't picked over carcasses like they tend to be at Harry's. It's in the middle of nowhere. I get the most meager of cell signals while in the yard. They won't let you take in back packs for some reason, so carry your tools in a bucket or something else. You never know what you may find there. I've done very well some days and came home empty handed the next. Haven't been there for about a year and need to go again. It's on a hill, and you have to go UP on your way out which sucks. However, if you've got heavy items they used to give you 'loaner cars' to drive your parts up to the exit, which was nice.

+1 for all of this...

There are fork trucks roaming around that will yank an engine when you have it disconnected and carry it up to the gate. Pray that you don't need to lay in the mud under a car at the bottom of the hill.

thanks for the reviews, i'm thinking maybe tuesday next week, but if its on a hill i'll try NOT to go a day or two after it rains.

It doesn't get that muddy, unless you're at the very bottom of the hill in the truck or ancient domestic car section. It's a little rocky though so wear tough shoes or boots. Lots of little parts to trip over (it's not kept very neat). If the weather stays the same, pack some water...you'll need it. No shade in the yard.
