Great place to find what you need i had a Volkswagen rabbit on the way down I was a little worried they might not have one but sure enough 5 minutes of looking if that and theres 3 of them highly recommended
Have been there a number of times. It's not a bad yard, about typical of a pull your own parts yard. Prices are not bad and you select the parts so if you like OE you can do that. My only complaint is that it seems like the brand I'm looking for is the farthest back in the yard, just another reason the dislike Chrysler...lol
Go pull your own parts. lots of vehicles in inventory! Prices are very reasonable! Always call to see how many of your vehicles are in the yard before you head out ... and dont forget your tools
Not a bad place and one of the few remaining in NY. Only downside is last time we got backed into and the person just left. Asked about security camera and they said it doesn't cover parking area so park carefully as we now need to replace a bumper
I went in too get a factory grill for my 3 series and it ended up coming out to 40 dollars. Not to mention I took an old dog harness and was charged 5 bucks for it
I had some reservations coming here given other reviews, but was pleasantly surprised by the very helpful staff. Was having trouble getting plates off my car and one of the staff helped me out. Friendly guy.
Only concern was that their purchasing prices are a little low based upon the statewide average, but they are one of the only places in the Utica area that buys junk cars.
Like the u pull it part of the business, but this is the 3rd time they didn't pick up a car when they said they were going to, from now on I'll try selling it myself first!!!
Great inventory selection, and it's handy to have it all lifted already. I just wish they had an online inventory of the cars they have on the lot. I'd complain about the "cover charge," but honestly, you can find a buck in spare change in vehicles around the lot, lol. The only real complaint is parts pricing. 100$ for a handful of vacuum lines, and a MAF sensor seems a little steep, but I guess that's what you get for convenience. Compared to refurbed parts online, you're looking at 20-40% savings (at least for my jeep parts), so depending on the condition of what you're pulling, you may just want to buy a refurbed part. Pricing can also feel inconsistent depending on who's behind the counter. It's definitely been my go-to for parts to get the ol' Jeep XJ freshened up and running smooth again, though!
This place is ridiculous i needed help and they told me no its only transmissions and engines. I tore out an entire interior when i say everything i mean everything they lost a sale because they have 2-4 loaders and personal vehicals they drive around the yard and they couldn't help me knowing where i was was on the other end of the lot of 3000+ cars they have I've been coming here for years and a I'm a registered car dealer and they told me no lmfao what a joke and they charge us a dollar to get in plus 2 dollar environmental fee plus over charge on parts this place needs to be closed down and idc if Vinny sees this he can come see me at K&L auto sales ask for Paul. Ty. BTW I also have a broken back.
NICE PLACE for used parts!! When you walk in, the friendly counter staff asks you what you're looking and the make and model of your car! They give you a detailed printout of their inventory and where the vehicles are located! This was VERY helpful to me!! I easily found my car...a 2008 Buick Lacrosse, in the yard, and I got the parts I needed!! Saved TONS from what the dealership wanted to charge for new! THANKS VINCE!!! I'll definitely be back!! I definitely recommend Vince's U Pull It!
Called the other day to make sure they had the car I was looking for. This morning got there. The gentleman running the counter at check in was very helpful. Printed out the stock numbers ad rows and gave me a map. After waking to find the best one. I unloaded my blue wheelbarrow (supplied) I person never done this big of a pull, but had all my tools and got it done in about an hour and a half. Once picked up it ran me 146 for a subframe, 2 a-arms and a sway bar.
7/31/23 It was my first visit to Vinces U Pull It today!…. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Ample parking, well marked entrance…Ample “shopping carts”(wheelbarrows!!)available! Employees were helpful with a “can do” attitude! … I was even given a detailed “treasure map” of this large salvage yard ..so I could find a correct donor car easily! (this was very helpful)…I found a donor car fast and I was happily on my way back to pay (very fair price BTW!) for my coveted part in a short tyme! I Strongly recommend Vinces to anyone looking for a used car part… he has quite a nice operation there! *NOTE : if you need rubber boots to use while digging for your diamond in that rough..Vinces has some you can borrow!. GREAT PLACE..full service of sorts!
I went to Vince's on a Sunday afternoon. I called ahead to make sure they had my vehicle there and they said they did. I got there paid to get in and they did not have my vehicle there. I wasted and entire afternoon and paid for me and my wife to get in with no apology and no refund. I called Rubicon in Rome and they had my vehicle and did not have to pay to get in and found everything I was looking for. Don't waste your time at Vince's and go to Rubicon in Rome it's a cleaner much better place to do business with.
Lots of cars on their lot. $1 to walk in. Got 2 nice tires for under $60. Make sure to bring the right tools (they do not rent or lend tools anymore). Ask for a map and section guide to find the vehicles you are looking for faster. And don't forget to grab a wheel barrel to carry everything out! Will definitely return to get parts in the future.
Hot, cold or in between days, me and a friend go there a least twice a week just to look at the variety of the new vehicles they got. Plus, a little exercise never killed anyone. That's why I like going there. Also, if someone asks me if there's a vehicle up there , at least I can tell them what I seen let them know that the vehicle is on the spot if they ask if there's any parts that they need to get off it that are still there I'll let him know the staff is very friendly.
I have done business with them a few times now, and would recommend Vince's to anyone. Pick up service is excellent. Drivers have been efficient, professional and courteous. Office staff is also very easy to deal with. 5 stars all around!!!
Lacking on customer service the operator for the loader was rude and a little demeaning. Tried to ask a question he was unable to help as per their policies but being rude and belittling the customers should be highly frowned upon. My parts were all the way in the back of the lot and took me 4 trips with wheelbarrow to get. Other then that the lots were nicely spaced plenty of vehicles to choose from the maps could use a little help but I found what I needed and the prices were reasonable.
Not possible to check inventory online, like in most other, advertised as lowest prices, but it's not, for example seat belts cost three times more than most other u pull... Staff in the office are lazy when boss is not around and act like hate that place and don't want to be there;) ...
Dishonest staff ( not all of them) and definitely arrogant and rude owner with no clue about business and customer relations. Bought few parts. Tried to return them because the motor and transmission was bad but lost the receipt. Staff however made me return the items without a refund until I find the receipt which was only fair. Later found the receipt and now the owner won't issue the refund or give store credit needles to mention i travel nearly 2hrs to buy parts on a regular basis. This is a customer they are familier with and this is how they treated me?!. Daytime robbery. Stay away if you can because he'll do anything to not issue a refund.
First time at Vinces. Prices are 1/2 of others.They do invitory search and give you map of location in yard for what you are looking for. Bring your own tools and they provide wheelbarrow for heavy items.It seems a very orderly yard. I called first because it's a two hour drive for me but.. they had what I needed and the prices are great. If your a do it yourselfer, and fix your own shift , you won't be dissapointed. Mask and social distancing for safety are inforced.. I love N.Y. lol
The condition of the "driveway" between the road and the property and the condition of the roads in between the vehicles in the yard leave a lot to be desired. Other than that, they have a lot of vehicles and they're all up off the ground relatively easy access like any other "u pull" establishments. I did notice they are a bit pricier than other places like it, but not by an exorbitant amount.
Went there to get a rear-end for my Astro van and the only one they had was in the crushing pile. I went inside and asked a older gentleman if they could take it out of the pile and he said no at first . Then I told him I had driven 65 miles to get it and that was the only one they had. He then got on the radio and had them take it out of pile and block it up so I could pull rear-end out of it .I found out later it was the owner I talked to. I thanked for helping me out and that's why I drive down there from Watertown cause of the great customer service and prices !!!! Thanks again !!!!!
To help out with my husband's business, i bring probably 3-5 incomplete junk cars here per week. While they definitely don't pay out as well as other yards in the area, their hours are convenient. Open 7 days a week and stay open later than the competition. So, when we have to get vehicles out of the way and higher paying yards aren't open it's great to have the option.
The best place for used car parts in the 315! Bring your own tools, wear closed-toe shoes/boots. No one under 18 allowed in the yard. Pull your own parts. They'll cross-reference the part you need and give you a printout of the makes/models/years that have the same part. Costs a dollar to get in. Free parking. Tell Vinny I sent you!
Good point is cars are on stands. They will do fitment /interchange research and even tell you where to find the models you need, but this system is only a guide. You still gotta find vehicle and pull the part. Torches are not slowed in yard and they will not cut anything for you, even if you offer money for them to. If your selling scrap cars they are near average on pricing there.
