Row52 review

Row52 is a helper rather than a store. It searches vehicle inventory at self-service yards and, according to its own banner, is now exclusive with Pick-n-Pull, so it covers 51 yards and listed 47,671 vehicles when we checked. Its best feature is alerts: you set makes, models, years or yards and Row52 sends an email or text when a matching vehicle is placed in the yard. Listings include photos and VIN decoding, and yard pages show hours, address, part pricing lists and maps. Once you find a match, you go to the yard, pay the admission fee, pull the part with your own tools and pay at the cashier. Because Pick-n-Pull's own site also has an inventory check, Row52 matters mainly for its alerts and photos. Its limits are clear: it no longer covers other yard chains, it does not sell parts and it cannot tell you whether a part is still on a car.
