States with yards but no confirmed pull-your-own yard
States with 5 or more listed yards where no review or yard website says customers pull their own parts. Some of these yards may still let you; call and ask.
How we count
A yard counts as pull your own when customer reviews describe pulling parts themselves (bringing tools, a wagon, cars up on stands, paying an entry fee) or the yard's own website says so. For 226 of the 734 yards the proof is reviews, for 238 the website, and for 270 both. Sentences that say the opposite ("they pull it for you") don't count. A yard can be both pull your own and full-service. Per-million figures use the US Census Bureau, Vintage 2024 population estimates (July 1, 2024). Last updated 2026-11-08.
