DIY salvage yards popular in Detroit area
The Associated Press has a story about the increasing popularity of do-it-yourself auto parts salvage yards in the Detroit area. A snippet:
On a recent Saturday, a new Parts Galore yard — with 2,000 vehicles on 25 acres — was filled with the sound of metal clangs, the twisting of wrenches and a few grunts of effort as people sweated through the heat to remove rear axles, engines and radios.
De’Andre Simmons, 23, of Detroit, leaned into a ‘94 Lincoln Town Car to yank out an alternator for his friend, Antoine Crowder, 21, also of Detroit.
