We visited the world's largest junkyard - Turner's Auto Wrecking in Fresno, California. We only had 3 hours to tour over 100 acres of classic car heaven. We can't wait to go back!
See parts that you need? Call up Turner's and they will get you sorted! Jerry has been in business for over 65 years and is a wealth of knowledge.

When you were raise with a Father who was always yelling and cursing as well as making you no more than a piece of crap he could bully around, It is extremely hard to loosen up with that type of people. I had Employee's way back in the 60's who are still my friends. My whole family was murdered by a person who treated his family and treated his family the same way but I put up with him because of his six children. It cost me my 30 year old wife and two daughters 12 and 13. Now how loose do you want me to be?

If she dabbed a little diesel behind each ear, I'd follow her anywhere. Thanks for the tour, who doesnt love a good wrecking yard? Best regards from Indiana.
