Pull and Save pull a car out; Car is there then it is not.

So I see a geo waiting to be put out in the yard. So I get there really early and am the first one in. Sure enough the car is out there in the morning and I am the first one to get to it.

I pull the complete engine and trans as a unit. I take the hood as it looks good. and misc other including tires with rims not new . Total price $289. Kinda spendy says I.

I put all in the back of dog breath and said I would be back for the engine and hood with my truck. 3 hours later I show up. I put the engine and the hood in the truck. I then think I forgot the coil. I go in and ask the guys if th coil is included. They say sure it is and I say okay I am going to go get it.

I go for the coil but.... the car is missing. I just grab one from another junker. I go in and ask what happened to the car. They play dumb. What car. Then finally say it was a mistake and should not have been put out in the yard. It is no where to be seen. Vanished Wierd. :ermm:

maybe they took it to the other pull and save? i think that they did that with a lot of the valleys geo's and smaller cars, cause several that were in the valley ended up at the north location.

Something kinda like that happened in the way back when I was running a crushing crew for a huge junk yard in N Las Vegas. Normally large XXXs on a car mean its headed for the crusher. The boss had asked me to take a few cars that were sitting just outside the gate in and stripem and crushem. Said they were marked with XXXs. So I bring one in and we squarshed the hell out of it. About 45 mins later the boss shows up out at my crusher all pissed off. Turns out a cust. from the other section of the junk yard had parked his family car out there. And had put large XXXs on it to show the counter guy which car he was talking about. Yeah the boss was pretty mad. I don't think the counter guy got that sale. :thumb :lol

Yeah, I am thinking maybe went to the other PnS but I did hear them say it came from a Cliff bid (I am thinking Cliffs car lot in Hillyard and one of car bid yards) I am trying to figure what atvantage it would be to send one to the other yard. They have several geos at both yards. It was all prepped with the oil and all fluids drained. I will see if it goes to the other yard maybe tomorrow. Man the crew in the office area were very nervious and said it was a big mistake. :-/ They were very nervous about me talking about it.

Just curious, was it the valley or north yard? I have been noticing lately that the valley yard is looking pretty shabby, while the north yard has had quite a few nice cars in recently (its just a nicer yard altogether). Wonder if that has anything to do with pick & pull having new owners and opening thier yard again last week...just gearing up to beat the competition? :dunno

As I understand both the valley and north yards are both owned by spaldings. This car was at the north yard briefy.
Hard to keep the valley yard as nice as the north yard as all that nice new small crushed rock at the north yard and the valley yard only has old round river rock. But they keep both of the check out buildings very clean and neat.
