Seattle area used parts

[Joseph Rae]

The problem with bry's was that he had the druggy/alcoholics working for
him, their basic tools for removing parts from cars consisted of Flat
screwdriver for prying parts off, Phillips head for some screws, a
monkey wrench for misc bolts, cutters for cutting wiring harnesses, and
an axe or torch for cutting metal. The times I saw them dump the
contents of a gas tank, or radiator onto the ground. Usually dumping the
contents of the gas tank after puncturing the gas tank with something
sharp (AXE, or screwdriver) all this being done while smoking.

Also Bry did not keep the books too well. His if you can carry it out in
your pockets its free, if not, its $20 for misc parts probably didn't
help his pocket book.

I had heard that Bry was shut down for tax reasons, but the
environmental thing is no surprise at all.  Then again every yard I've
been in should probably be classified as a Superfund site.

If you remember the Audi yard, please let me know.  Someone in my apt.
building mentioned Bernard Imports in Tukwila, but he couldn't tell me
about the Audi percentage and I haven't tracked down a phone number yet.
Anyone know this place?
