There are tons of yards like that. And to be honest I have seen some "employed parts removers" completely mangle and destroy parts.

one was a case of removing the blower motor from a 1995 E420, the guy broke

the wiper cover
the wiper trays
cracked the glass wrestling the wiper mechanism out

in the end - he also cracked one fan wheel.

Lost 1 hour of my time. - I told the owner, next time I can teach your dude how to remove it correctly without breaking stuff.

Didnt bother - got a blower motor and swapped the old wheels onto it and soldered the wires to make it work.

These shops are in the business of newer model cars and parting them out for premium pricing. Useless for our cars.
