    alpis closed on weekends?

    Its been sometime since i have been in this game but they moved way the hell out of town and now never open for a guy who gets weekends off???

    Pulling my hair out by my fists.....

    Any other places that would have little things to pick a 4 runner or truck apart? On a weekend....

    Most wreckers are closed on the weekends, as they make their money during the week with body shops. The only one that I have seen open on the weekends is Pick-A-Part in Chilliwack. There has to be a few more?

    Re: alpis closed on weekends?

    alpi's in abbotsford was open on a saturday about a few weeks ago. in know they were closed thanksgiving weekend but i think they are normally open saturdays and have lots of toyota stuff.

    they are where pro-truck recyclers used to be just off mt lehman on just up the road from kms.

    i was at pick-a-part yesterday and saw a couple of early '90's 4runners too. they even had a yj there which was a first, not much left of it though. gary's must have dropped the ball on that one.

    I work right next door to Alpi's and as far as I can tell from previous weekends they are not open on Saturday's...usually just looks like a ghost town. I called over there just to find out for sure and Dave at Alpi's told me they aren't open. Sometimes they might swing by for a little while, but that's the only time I see anyone there on a weekend. Hope this helps guys.

    they must have changed that. the last time i was there about a month ago was on a friday and while i was in their office someone called to ask if they were open sat and the guy said something like 10-4.

    i've also seen their open sign on a saturday before.

    Re: alpis closed on weekends?

    don't know if this helps at all, but if you need to get something from alpi's, I could pick it up for ya and hold it at my work (right next door). I am open Saturdays all day, so you could just pick it up then. just throwing the offer out there, cause you never know when you might need some help/favour you in return right?! PM me if you wanna work something out.
