Dick's U-Pull-It

19708 Mountain Hwy E

Dick's U-Pull-It Auto Wrecking sits on Mountain Highway East in Spanaway, about nine miles south of Tacoma on State Route 7 between the Roy Y and Walmart. The yard runs a we-pull system: customers search inventory online by make, model, year, or part, pay through PayPal, and pick up the part after the crew pulls it, with no tools required. Vehicles headed for the crusher appear in a crush queue so their parts sell before they go. The yard also admits customers on foot for a cash-only fee, turns away anyone under 18, buys cars, and closes on Mondays.
