Pick 'N Pull or U Pull Yards in CT Area?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if any fellow CT residents or anyone knows of any decent Pick 'N Pull or U Pull it yards in CT. I know there are some yards where they'll pull things for you $$$. Thanks.

Wish I knew...I only know of one yard but they only have hondas, acuras and other Japanese marks. I went in once and asked them if they had any Mercedes and they practically bit my head off.....

Yea I know of some places that'll pull parts for you, but if you just want to browse or something it makes it difficult. I'm looking for a manual transmission (4-5spd) that I can throw into a '80 300CD... I'd rather get a whole parts car for all the little bits.

Sounds like a "Not in our backyard" type of situation.

Yea, being one of the richiest states they figure we can pay extra to have the parts removed for us I'm sure it's about liability and appearance as well (removed parts kept nicely inside a warehouse). Even getting an alignment were you can sit inside the vehicle while they do it is a big deal... I always pull the, "I work at xxx garage (truth)" and then it's not a problem.
