Located at 2804 Hanson St in Fort Myers, Florida, U-Pull-It – previously known as Garden Street U Pull It – is a salvage yard that offers a wide selection of used car parts. It is the perfect destination for DIY mechanics who want to save money while repairing or maintaining their vehicles. The auto parts are backed by a warranty and come with a parts interchange system, making it easier to find the right match.
The city has a lot of junkyards, Green said. Some of them are large, and some have been in the area for decades. Those yards have been protected by grandfather clauses that let them operate as they did before the city’s land use code was adopted in 1982. Generations of people in Dunbar, the city’s predominantly black neighborhood, grew up with junkyards and other heavy industry nearby. The community’s property values are lower than the rest of the city’s, and the junkyards and heavy industry have been a major factor in that.
Now, with the owners of Garden Street Iron and Metal preparing to expand the self-serve used auto parts yard, residents of Dunbar have redoubled their efforts. They’ve urged the City Council to reject the plan. Some have called for the business to close, and others have said the city should change its zoning rules to prevent more junkyards from opening in minority neighborhoods. A council meeting on the issue is scheduled for June 8. It may or may not result in a decision about Garden Street’s application. junkyard fort myers
