U-Pull-&-Pay at 2804 Hanson St, Fort Myers, FL 33916

U-Pull-&-Pay is a self-service auto salvage yard in Fort Myers where customers find and remove their own parts from donated vehicles. Located at 2804 Hanson Street, the yard has been operating in Lee County for years, originally known as Garden Street U-Pull-It before changing its name. Staff help identify parts and open vehicles, but customers handle the removal themselves on-site.

Services & What to Expect

U-Pull-&-Pay is for customers who want to save money by removing parts themselves. The yard doesn’t sell parts by mail or offer delivery—you must visit, locate the part, and take it yourself using the tools provided. Staff can point you to the right vehicle or section, but the work of getting the part out is yours.

How Self-Service Works

The process is simple:

1. Visit during business hours (8:00 AM–5:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM Saturday, and 8:00 AM–4:30 PM Sunday).
2. Check in at the office—staff will give you a map or guide to find what you need.
3. Locate the vehicle using the yard’s layout or the online inventory (available here ).
4. Remove the part using the tools on-site (cutting torches, wrenches, and other equipment are available).
5. Pay at the register—pricing is per part, based on the vehicle’s condition.

The yard takes cash, credit, and debit cards. No appointments are needed—just show up during open hours.

What You’ll Find on the Lot

The inventory changes as new vehicles are donated, but the yard usually carries:

• Domestic and foreign cars (American, Asian, and European makes)
• Light trucks and SUVs (Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, and others)
• Salvage-titled vehicles (often at lower prices)
• Non-running donations (good for rare or discontinued parts)

• Engines and transmissions
• Body panels (doors, hoods, fenders, bumpers)
• Mechanical components (suspension, brakes, steering)
• Interior pieces (seats, dashboards, trim)
• Electrical parts (wiring harnesses, sensors, lights)

The selection covers restoration projects, repairs, and replacements. Staff can help narrow down the best options for your needs.

Tools & Assistance

U-Pull-&-Pay provides basic tools for part removal, including:

• Cutting torches and oxygen/acetylene tanks
• Wrenches, sockets, and ratchets
• Pry bars and hammers

If you’re new to removing parts, staff can guide you. Some vehicles may need extra tools—bring your own if you’re unsure. Safety gear (gloves, goggles) is recommended but not provided.

Donating a Junk Car

U-Pull-&-Pay takes vehicle donations to keep the inventory stocked. If you have an old car, truck, or SUV you no longer need, they may offer a cash payment or tow it for free, depending on the vehicle’s condition. Donations help the yard stay supplied with parts. Call ahead to arrange a pickup or drop-off.

Roman (5/5 stars): "This salvage yard is always clean, and the staff? Top-notch. Ashley’s been here a long time, and she’s the kind of person who remembers you and actually cares.

Melissa Maldonado (5/5 stars): "I’ve been to a lot of salvage yards, but U-PULL&PAY in Fort Myers was different. Ashley, the woman who helped me, made the whole thing smooth. She was nice, knew her stuff, and didn’t waste my time—something I don’t get often. The prices were fair, and the whole crew made me feel like I wasn’t just another customer."

Avery (5/5 stars): "This place is a game-changer. The staff actually helps you instead of pointing you toward the lot and walking away. They had me out there fast, and everything was labeled so well I didn’t waste an hour wandering around like at other yards. Their online system shows exactly what they’ve got, which saves a ton of time."

Lisette Toledo (5/5 stars): "My husband and I stopped by to grab a part, and it was way easier than I expected. You tell them what car you’re looking for, and they hand you a sheet with all the matching vehicles and where to find them in the rows. Oh, and they’ve got used cars too—just call the number they give you for that."

Bill Froehlich (5/5 stars): "Doug and Sammy made buying my daughter’s car stress-free. No runaround, no hidden fees—just straight talk and a fair price. I checked other places, but they beat everyone else by a mile. If I ever need another car, I’m calling them first."

Many reviews highlight the yard’s organization, the staff’s helpfulness, and the lack of the "waste of time" experience common at other salvage yards. Customers often note that the tools are well-maintained, the lot is clean, and the pricing is clear.
