We came here primarily through the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) program to retire our vehicle and for the east bay, this was the closest site contracted by the state to handle these requests. No appointment is needed as they service walk ins all day (check their time of operation ahead of your visit to confirm they're open but they're typically open from 8:30 to 4 pm Monday to Saturday). Before you head out, if you plan to sell your car, make sure you have all the required documentation. Be sure to bring your vehicle title, drivers license, and letter of approval (for the BAR program, you need to first apply online first and receive a physical letter to confirm your application). If your title has an "and" on it (joint ownership), all parties must be present with their valid drivers license. If not, they'll turn you away and you'll have to come back another time. Also, plan to have the process take about two hours. If you're simply coming for digging for scraps and parts, bring forms of payment (cash, credit), tools (depending on what you're looking for, a wagon might be worthwhile to include at your disposal), and protective gear. There's an entrance fee of $4 and any parts you're looking to purchase will be processed separately. Located in the outskirts of Newark, it'll seem like you're heading to nowhere once you pass the railroad tracks. Keep going and be prepared to turn into the large parking lot. Park your car at any of the spots. After you've arrived, head on up to the shop. For those going to the scrapyard, hang a left and head to the kiosk to sign your waiver and pay the entry fee. For those looking to sell their car, head towards to the office building to the right where they typically would have a simple clipboard and sign in sheet right outside the door. Put your name and phone number down and someone will eventually come out and read out the name to service you. I say "eventually" because there's one person handling these from my experience and if they're preoccupied with another sale, you're left to wait without much of a direction or guidance until they get to you. "Just stick around" is the response we have gotten before we were serviced, after we were serviced and waiting for them to evaluate the car, and after everything was processed and we were waiting for the check. To add to the excruciating wait, the staff member assigned to this operation is the most obnoxiously slow and curt worker I have ever witnessed. Fortunately, they were knowledgeable and I'm just glad the government program has all the prices set to simplify the fund exchange. Overall, Pick-n-Pull certainly has a reputation as a place to be able to source parts from junk cars for car enthusiasts, collectors, and mechanics but they also operate on behalf of the state for retiring vehicles. Like it or not, you may end up spending more time here than expected but at the end of the day, you knew what you were getting into. Personally, there'd be little reason for me to venture out here but they served their purpose, albeit with a few unnecessary hurdles.

Coming back with a new review but this time with a purchase I made I had such a great experience at…read moreAPEX and wanted to share now that it's officially been a month with my new car! From start to finish, everything went so smoothly. I was honestly expecting the car-buying process to be stressful, but I was in and out within just a couple of hours. A huge shoutout to Cayla, she made the entire experience so easy and comfortable. She was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer every single question I had without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. That meant a lot to me, especially as someone who wanted to make sure I was making the right decision. I absolutely love my new car and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for a smooth, straightforward, and genuinely positive car-buying experience, I highly recommend asking for Cayla at APEX Motors!

Update 5/11: Owner Gary reached out to me via text and attempted to refund me through Turo, which…read moreTuro did not approve and Gary states that he is not able to refund me directly. I originally requested a partial refund which was denied and the employee then when on to harrass and threaten me. I did not update star rating as I don't believe it was out of the goodness of his heart but because of a recent negative review. 6 months has passed and to just now try to rectify the situation is not great customer service. I was offered a free rental, but the experience was so terrible that I declined. And why Gary has my private information still is unsettling

I just leased a BMW i4 with Chris after sitting through 2 agonizing weeks of terrible follow up from a sales rep at a BMW dealer who couldn't commit on getting a car for me. I didn't argue over price, I said my one criteria was just assure me you get a car quickly for me. No returned phone calls no follow up with me after we agreed on price/terms. Sad. Maybe everyone has hammered dealers for so long for being too aggressive, now they don't seem to really care if they follow up and get a deal done. Weird. Anyway, happy that BuySide Auto exists, is serving their clients well and has been a great partner.

I've read through some of the negative reviews here and best I can say is, if your buying a used vehicle, do your due diligence and have your mechanic check it out before finalizing. I did and ours is still running fine.
