| Today I decided to check out the auto wreckers in the Saskatoon area. I went to Bucks... it was shitty. Ended up going to a place called Amigos. Holy. Shit. It is huge. I got a few good parts for my CRX. Interior parts mainly. Clear corners too.
If anyone is looking for parts for a 240sx, go there. There is a few of them. Lots of Honda parts too. There is a D16Y8 intake (The "Type-R" of the D-series) there, and a lot of newer cars. Even some Mustangs...
In the Regina area... Regina Certified Autowrecking is over-priced ($400 for a B18a engine)... Bucks doesn't have a huge selection, but it is cheap. TJ's is alright. Tyler is the guy to deal with there. Ask him about after-market stuff. All-Parts is actually really good. The owner is a little odd though.
For those that venture to the auto wreckers, how has your experience been? | |

| When I still had my Celica, I rummaged through the only two places I knew for parts, Bucks, which I'll gladly return to to this day, they treat me with respect and I treat them with respect. The other place I tried was Japanese Auto, I had a horrible experience while I was there, the guy who was in the shop at the time was a real prick, and his stuff was really badly overpriced too. $40 for a piece of plastic the size of my arm that's purely aesthetic, are you serious? I've meant to go to Amigos the last few times I've been in Saskatoon, I just keep forgetting about it due to being wrapped up in Wangan Midnight. | |

TJ's is the most unorganized dump of a business I've ever set foot in | |
