After looking at the best junkyard find thread, I was wondering what is the best junkyard in the Washington, DC area? Maybe there should be a section of the forum on local junkyards.

Where do you go to get salvaged parts?

There's one in the Baltimore area, I've heard a few people recommend it, but I'm having a hard time coming up with the name right now...I'll be back if I can remember it.

It's not Crazy Ray's by any chance, is it?

That's the one
I haven't been there, but if I'm in the area with time to kill one day, I plan on stopping by. Think it costs a buck or two to get in though...
Well, you already knew about it, guess I can't offer much help

crazy rays is an excellent w123 resource, they also get other wierd stuff there, I ave seen old porshes, jags etc. The one in jessup is pretty ghetto, theres at least one other location. no cameras, credit cards, refunds, bathrooms or place to wash your hands...

The best junkyard in DC?

The White House, of course. It's full of non-functioning stuff!

Don't Chrome them; polish them

If you don't have time to run around and find it, try searching Car-part.com.
Good source for hard parts, your can at least narrow down your search by yards that have your model car by search for the big parts such as an engine.

I've been to the one in Mt Airy. They have several Mercedes, I remember at least two 190s

Thanks. These seem like some good resources. I'm book marking them for the future.

I have had quite good luck at Brandywine's yards.

http://www.brandywineparts.com/

hit the link there for "Location / Yard Tours"

In particular their yard in Upper Marlboro which specializes in Euro parts, below is the blurb from their web site. They have a high turnover of cars, you can pull it yourself. Not such good selection of older cars.

I went looking for parts for my W124, they had several in the yard, and they have a good inventory of parts they have already pulled.
