The 'All You Can Carry' sale almost legendary - Tyler Morning Telegraph
As the new day dawned, the trio was among hundreds of sweating, anxious mechanics standing outside Locos Gringos Pick-n-Pull auto recycling yard outside Tyler. They awaited the start of the occasional “All You Can Carry” sale. “I love Neons,” Nelson said with a grin, sweat streaming down his face. I come to every one of these (sales) … I don’t even miss their half-off sales. The “All You Can Carry” sale seems to enjoy almost legendary status among local professional and shade tree mechanics, who recognize value in discounted parts such as $20 alternators and $200 engines. “It’s been several months since we’ve had one of these sales. Men love what we do. ”. Locos Gringos, 10310 County Road 383 off U. S. Highway 271, offers a variety of options, from dusty half-ton work trucks to mommy mini vans with pink ballerina window decals. Interest in snagging discounted parts runs high on sale day, so off-duty law enforcement officers help with security and traffic control, while wreckers ferry customers from off-site parking to the front door. Customer Roy Nelson, 46, isn’t a Dodge Neon fan like his son, but he supports the collecting bug. Source: www.tylerpaper.com
