About This Location

Ewe-Pullet Self Service Used Auto Parts is a self-service, you-pull-it auto recycling yard operated by the Nordstrom family on a 64-acre former dairy farm just a few minutes northeast of Sioux Falls, SD, accessible by a fully paved route via 480th Avenue (Nordstrom's Drive). The facility holds more than 1,300 constantly rotating donor vehicles — all raised on stands so no floor jack is needed — spanning all makes and models. Shoppers bring their own tools, pull their own parts, and pay a flat "Simple Part Pricing" rate by part type regardless of year, make, or model. A $2 daily admission fee is charged at the gate (waived for active military and veterans with valid ID). Ewe-Pullet is part of a broader CAR-Certified (Certified Auto Recycler) complex that also includes the adjacent Nordstrom's Full Service Auto Recycling operation; the two businesses have separate hours, prices, and inventory. Note: this is a self-service auto-parts salvage yard — not a public materials drop-off or curbside recycling center.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an entrance fee, and who gets in free?

Yes. A $2.00 daily admission fee is charged per person before you enter the lot; it is non-refundable but is good for the full day. Active-duty military and veterans are admitted free — just present a valid military ID and sign the entrance release at the gate.

Do I need to bring my own tools?

Yes — Ewe-Pullet operates on the "Your Tools, Your Labor, Your Savings" model. You must bring your own tools to pull parts. A limited selection of tools is sold in the Pull Barn on site. Floor jacks are not permitted because all vehicles are raised on special stands.

Can I bring my kids or my dog?

No. Due to safety hazards in the lot, entrants must be 16 years of age or older. Children are not permitted and there is no family waiting room. Pets are not allowed; only ADA-approved service dogs as defined by ADA requirements are permitted.

What if I pull a part and it doesn't fit — can I get a refund?

All parts are sold as-is with no warranty or guarantee of fitment. Ewe-Pullet does not issue cash, check, or credit-card refunds. Instead, they offer a 33-day "Wide Open" return/exchange policy: you can return the part within 33 days and receive store credit, which never expires.

How do I find out which vehicles are currently available before I make the drive?

The vehicle list — including make, model, lot section, row number, and a photo from acquisition — is updated on ewepullet.com and is also accessible via the kiosk in the Pull Barn office. Part-level inventory is not tracked; parts sell continuously, so availability cannot be confirmed in advance.
