Garretson, South Dakota — a small city in Minnehaha County northeast of Sioux Falls — is home to two automotive recycling businesses that together form one of the region's most well-known auto-parts and vehicle-recycling complexes. Both operations are owned by the Nordstrom family and share a rural property off 480th Avenue (Nordstrom's Drive), but they operate as distinct businesses with separate hours, services, and pricing.
Ewe-Pullet Self Service Used Auto Parts at 47989 255th Street is a self-service, you-pull-it auto recycling yard spanning 64 acres. Shoppers bring their own tools, pull their own parts from 1,300+ donor vehicles raised on stands, and pay flat "Simple Part Pricing" rates regardless of year, make, or model. There is a $2 daily admission fee per person (free for active military and veterans with valid ID). The yard is open Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed Sundays.
