About U-Pull-&-Pay Houston
Leave the torch, grinder and jack at home. Cars sit on stands here, and hand tools, battery tools and small generators are fine. Admission runs $3 ($2 for VIP Club members), and everyone 16 or older signs a waiver at the gate. The yard opens seven days, 9 to 5:30 Monday through Thursday and 8 to 5:30 Friday through Sunday, but yard entry stops 30 minutes before the store closes. An A-frame and hoist help you pull an engine or transmission.
