Try Jollys in Dandenong, they have concrete, the the place is swept daily. Must better if you have to work under a wreck.

Also trollying your stuff is smoother on concrete than the mud at pick a part.
There's a D1 there also

Very true, Mario, but the thing is, there's a D2 at Pick a Part, right now, with things people here may want. Is there one at Jolly's? If I go there, and I see one, I will post it here also.

Yes D2 at Jollys, most of the good bits have been cannibalized, the motor trans and auto were still there but as with anything from the self serve wreckers you risk buying a dud. Things like motors and autos etc, you don't know the history as to why is it at the wreckers? Especially if there is no obvious signs like been in a frontal collision, where you assume the vehicle must have been drive-able to get into an accident. When you see a car at the wreckers with no body damage, then to me I would assume it is there for mechanical reasons. It can be a big effort to pull these out and then find they are stuffed.

Agree with all that, but sometimes the owner just can't be bothered, and rings one of those blokes with an old tow truck and gets him to drag it away. Those cars nearly always end up at places like Jolleys or PaP,Thing is, the prices they charge it can easily be worth it to pull something that's hard to get or usually costs the earth and do it up.
