Re: [diesel_mercedes] PAPS in Houston?

 

I haven't been to Houston for nearly 50-years (when my father took his then 4-year old son on the bus down to pick up our new 1964 Peugeot 404 wagon at the port of Galvaston), but, going to LKQcorp.com and putting "77038" into the zip code search window turned up several locations in the immediate Houston area.  I see there are also a few around Beaumont.

There is also this:  http://houstonpickapart.com/houston.html

I'm sure there are others.

You just hafta get out there, and visit these guys maybe once a week or so.  Ask around for locations of other yards.  I can't imagine a city like Houston wouldn't have several cars available at any given time.  My guess is the situation isn't much different than it is in LA, but, I dunno....

And don't forget craigslist, a good resource for people who are selling parts from their driveways and backyards, if you can avoid the temptation to resurrect whole cars....

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] PAPS in Houston?

 

You know, this PAPS Christmas gifting that seems to only exist in California reminds me very much of California having Disney Land while everyone else in the county has nothing.

Every time one of you guys wonders into one of those yards and comes out with these unbelievable treasure of cheap parts it is another reminder of why doesn't everyone live in California.

So, what about Houston, or Texas even. Where are these wonderful places close around to me that still have a stock of parts for our aging cars?
Any help on names or locations of good PAPS in Houston would be really appreciated.
