Youngstown Auto Wrecking spreads across 45 acres on Wilson Avenue with more than 5,500 late-model cars and trucks in stock and 90,000 dismantled parts stored indoors. A fire in June 2006 left the yard with 147 vehicles; Niki D'Atri Enterprises bought it in April 2007 and rebuilt the inventory. A sister yard in Freedom, Pennsylvania, trades parts with Youngstown every morning. Parts are found through single-part, multi-part, Spanish-language, and image searches online, and every used part carries a 30-day money-back warranty. Delivery runs locally and within 50 miles to shops, and shipping reaches anywhere in the United States. A commercial and insurance division works from private offices, while a counter staff handles individual vehicle owners. A separate Brickyard location holds rebuildable vehicles.

Youngstown U-Pull-It calls itself Ohio's largest self-serve auto parts store. Customers bring their own tools and pull their own parts from hundreds of cars and trucks set on wheel stands in organized rows at 1300 Albert Street. Free parts interchange is available for the asking. The yard is open seven days a week, last admission is at 4:30 in the afternoon, and a small entrance fee applies. The business also buys cars and trucks, running or not, including crashed vehicles, and arranges towing. Scrap metal recycling is part of the operation, and the parts counter sells tires, T-shirts, snacks, and drinks alongside engines, transmissions, doors, glass, and the rest of the price list.
