Re: U-pulls and salvagers in No Illinois? Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: U-pulls and salvagers in No Illinois?, buckmath, Mon, 7 Jul 2008 20:05:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm in Evanston, just north of the city. Where are you?
From the notice that I received from the Illinois EPA, the emissions testing applies only to the two major metropolitan areas in Illinois: Chicago and East St. Louis. Apparently, the rest of the state has clean air and the cars don't need testing.
The only U-Pull-It yard that I know of in the Chicago area is Victory Auto Wreckers in Bensenville, near O'Hare Airport. They have a TV ad that has become part of Chicago folklore because it's been airing totally unchanged for 26 years! I haven't been there for about 20 years, but it was a memorable adventure in mud, oil, mud, jagged metal, mud, broken glass, etc. At the time, they had total junk cars, but I did find a VW distributor for my Audi Fox. I have to wonder how many SAAB parts are there. I think there is another one near Elgin, but I will not drive that far; I now do my used parts shopping on the car-parts website or saabnet ads.
