It's in Billerica, so theres bound to be quite a few rustangs. No E46's, but a few E36's and last time I was there had 2 or 3 E30's. I haven't been in a good 6 months tho, so I'm sure they've rotated to some degree. Pricing is pretty cheap. Also a little more, but right down the road is Hollands. They have a few E36's too if you're looking for something that Jacks doesn't have.

I've never heard about the all you can carry sale there. I know they had it at ABC B&D Greenleaf in Leominster, which is huge with a shitton of E36's and some E46's too. Good to know tho...is it all the time now?

^ What yard did you go to? Everetts? Try Middleborough Auto Salvage I was there the other day and they had a couple E36s.

Shit sorry Holland Used Auto is the one with all you can carry.

Jack's used to have all you can haul for 50 bucks back in the late 90's as did Hollands.

I hated going to lake Hollands thou in the spring since all the foreign stuff is on the back side where the water is.

Jack's pricing is way to iffy, the old guy used to sell stuff reasonable the son acted like it was gold and was worth 1/2 of new no matter what shape it was in.

Good pick and pull yards are going the way of dinosaurs. Be glad you folks back east have a few, there is ONE here in greater Springfield area and they haven't got a new car in??

Jack's is a huge rip off, I would much rather go to Sam's Pull A Part or Route 117 (on Saturdays only). Often times at 117 the price was decided by me and but I never really lowball people. I guess it depends on what you're looking for but Jack's is the biggest ripoff I've seen in a while.

route 128 has some bimmers, E21, E30, E34, E32, but they don't last much.

There's the place off of RT 2 out near Wachusetts but they seem to have nill there these days. Leominster's yards don't allow customers in anymore correct?

I know, but it's been like thaqt forever, and they have made NO efforts to correct it. I think they're waiting for it to fall so that they can secede from Billerica, lol.

Free to get in, you pay for what you take home.

I heard that a while ago, and I went there since, and they still had everyone walking around, pulling at will. It's so much easier that way, and better for them, bc you never leave with just what you went in for. Guys and junk yards are like chicks and shoes. It's great.

i think Jack's closes around 2 or 3 on Saturday.

If you go to Jack's I would try to wear some type of clothing that legitimizes your knowledge about cars. When I worked for Tulley BMW I always wore my tech jacket with my name and what not on it.

If they know they can't screw with you. You will have a much different experience. Good luck!
