About Pick Your Part - Denver 52nd Ave
Three dollars and a signed release get you through the gate, and you bring your own wrenches. Leave jacks, grinders, generators, torches and anything gas-powered at home, since every car comes pre-supported. Wheelbarrows and engine hoists cost nothing to borrow. Sundays it opens 8 to 3:30, same as Saturday, and weekdays run 9 to 4:30. Nobody under 16 goes in, and EPA's records count 9 of the last 12 quarters out of compliance.
