Having owned a wrecking yard myself I can understand why they are dissapearing.
I used to let people pull their own parts only to be dissapointed at what they threw over the fence or destroyed in the process of getting a part off, put that with trying to find descent stock thanks to the scrap car dealers pretty much crushing everything they come across, this pushes the price up of good stock to wreck, time wasters, break ins etc, then all the garbage licences, dealer squad, EPA checks, insurances and overheads all take their toll, not to mention the 1000's of different makes and models you cant stock em all.
Then having to compete with eBay, Gumtree, Facebook and the like, its not a great business to be in any more like it used to be.
Enjoy these pick the part yourself places while you can as its not sustainable for the operator unless he owns the land and the stock is free.
