Any good junk yards?

I need to replace a few parts when I return from Iraq, and I don't want to pay dealer prices. Are there any "you pull it" yards in the area?

Not sure how good it is but been meaning to check it out. They have a search function so look for what you need. If you can not make it down here and they have you part then I can pull it for you.

Sweet. I cut one of my door panels moving some of my gear around after a long training exercise. I hate paying for stuff from a junk yard I can't see and touch before I buy it (online stuff) although it is much easier to get what Im looking for.

There's always Mazda Motorsports too. You get the new parts at dealer cost. I used it to buy new belts.

If they fit with no problem (because of the broken tabs) then you can buy me a beer the next time I see you Send me a PM where you want them shipped and I will send them next Thursday when I am back in town.

Im still in Iraq for at least a week due to flight problems, but I'll let you know when Im back in. I am going to try and hit up that mazda meet at the dealership down that way towards the end of the month. Maybe we can meet up then if you are going.
