Houston Pick and Pulls?

Are there any worth visiting in the Houston area? I'm going to be there for the next 3-5 days with some (intermittent) time on my hands to do some Benz parts shopping. Suggestions?

Go to Pick A Part. There are two locations. 1 on I45 north near west road and another at the 610 east loop and Wallisville location. $2 to get in. I used to be a frequent visitor when I had my w123 turbo.

It's called Milton Motors. The address is 6120 N. Shepherd. I don't know what the typical pick and pull lots you speak of are like, but here, you just walk in, select the part you want, you remove it or they can remove it for you, pay for it, and walk out. If you decide to go, you may want to call for business hours. They're (713) 694-8834. It's been awhile since I've been, but there were plenty of W126s there, mostly 300SDs, with one 300SDL, and a W116 300SDL there, and some W123s, one was pretty rusted though.

Ah, Copher Bros of Tampa. I remember it well! My old man was stationed at MacDill AFB and I went to Robinson High School in 1989/90. Funny to see the name again!
