RE: Junk yards in SF Bay greater area (long)

[Brian Honnold <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

Bug World is no more.  It is now Called German Parts Warehouse The big dork 
Cliff still runs it and bring yer KY if you need parts from him!!!

There is a new yard called Specialized German that does Audi and VW. Shawn 
is the owner and he is a very fair but kinda goofy guy.  Nate just bought 
his motor at this place and a few other things....it is a very reputable 
yard with good parts and fair deals.

There is also a place that is called We Got Cars....it used to be German 
Auto but that got gobbled up in a merger...many of the German Auto guys are 
still there and while the prices are kinda high sometimes if you talk to a 
guy that drives a 16v truck you can get good deals.  Don't was your time 
talking to Big Tim.   They got tons of VW and Audi mostly late model.

There are also two Pick-n-pull yards in the same area owned by the same 
company.  The newer one may actually take ATM cards for payment which is 
cool for some of us idiots who never have cash.  Lotsa fresh cars all the 
time, they cycle the vw stuff about every 2-3 weeks and new foreign cars go 
down on tuesday so if you get there around noonish you can get the good 
stuff before the vultures land.  These yards are great for the Old Volvo 
turbo that has a thermostatic sandwich adapter oil cooler....got mine for 
$7 including lines and the cooler.

There are also three other pay a dollar pick yards in the area and a 
specialized VW place called BW in Roseville.  BW has a shortage of cars 
right now because the owner died and his son is learning the hard way. 
 Prices here are fair and there are probably 20 Sciroccos in the yard

Hope this helps somebody
