U-Pull-And-Pay (UPAP) has held a grand opening sale for its newest retail self-service used auto parts store on a 30-acre site in Houston. UPAP is a subsidiary of Cincinnati-based scrap recycling firm David J. Joseph Co. (DJJ), which itself is a subsidiary of Charlotte, North Carolina-based steelmaker Nucor Corp.
The Houston store has the capacity to stock more than 2,200 used cars and trucks displayed on stands, arranged in rows, and separated by manufacturer, according to UPAP. Customers bring their own tools to remove used parts.
With the Houston site added, UPAP now has 11 self-serve used auto part locations in eight states.
