Description
Pick and Pull helps you find the exact donor vehicle you need before you waste a trip to a self-service junkyard. Search participating yards by make, model, and year, browse nearby matches on a map, and get alerted when a matching car arrives. It’s built for DIY mechanics, restorers, and anyone trying to save time, gas, and frustration when buying used auto parts.

Could you build this?
Partial The user-facing mobile app and search map are straightforward, but maintaining real-time inventory across independent salvage yards requires proprietary scraping integrations or yard inventory feeds.
What it would actually take: The frontend is a standard React Native / Flutter app using Mapbox or Google Maps. The difficult core is the scrapers, reverse-engineered private APIs, and data normalization pipelines for dozens of salvage yards (like Pick-n-Pull, LKQ) that aggressively block automated scraping and lack public developer APIs. Ongoing maintenance requires robust anti-bot proxy networks (Residential proxies, Puppeteer/Playwright clusters) and vehicle VIN/trim decoding databases.
