Aww, don't lose any sleep over it. If you don't like the yard, don't go back there. They lose your business.

It's just not worth the hassle or the headache to dwell on it.

well--some how I dont see this getting the time of day with ANY politican in any state. Us guys who like to keep old jalopy's going are on the fringe as far as they are concerned, almost as bad as the OWS crowd.

The Virginia Beach P-N-P is the only one I regularly use. Yes, the admissions and core charges are irritating, and depending on the time of day and cashier the prices may vary.
OTOH, before I discovered the Virginia Beach P-N-P a few years ago, I needed an extra steel wheel-rim for my '98 Nissan Altima. The only local salvage yard in Northern Virginia that had one wanted $60.
I wound up going to a wheel & tire store and getting a brand-new one for the same price!
A couple years later, I needed another Nissan wheel, but this time I found one at P-N-P, for $6. And they didn't charge me for the bad tire.
More recently, I got a set of 4 Mercedes 14" alloy-rims (not the Bundts, but the later, easy-to-clean type) Including two good Michelins, fthe price was $60
And so it goes....
Hubcaps in Northern Virginia yards $10 - $20
Virginia Beach P-N-P $3 - $6 ($1.50 - $3 on half-price day)
So I grumble a bit, but not too much.

Happy Motoring, Mark
