Ok so I recently realized that a junk yard would be a good place to get some odds and ends my car needs.
I am new to the Albany area. Anyone know of any junk yard around here and possible hours?
(and what to do once I get there) lol

thanks for the locations. Are these all within the Albany area? And you think I can just show up to one and ask the guy there? I’ve never been to a junk yard before.
ps: yes I need it to buy stuff. Not sell
I googled Lake Auto and it says Ballston Lake is that the right one?
And WIlliams says Schenectady right?
Williams seems closer as of right now. Any ideas what kind of stuff a junkyard would carry. I have never been to one. Mostly electrical or physical?

There was one in Ballston Spa that was huge. It was called Ed Loyas I believe if you look that up. I bought stuff from there for a good price

Not many pull it yourself yards left around here. Williams sometimes lets you in but like the other guys said theyre overpriced. Lake is often overpriced too.
Sunshine in Rotterdam Junction has mainly old shit but lets you pull parts most of the time. The owner is very odd though.
Try these for late model parts:

Loya’s is good too but their website doesnt work.

I am looking for a simple (push-open) single din cup holder to fit into a standard radio slot. Mustang has TERRIBLE placement when it comes to cupholders. Right next to stickshift. I cant put cups there cause thats where my hand goes. I dont need a stock mustang cup holder (I dont think there are any) I just need any standard single din cup holder that I can push open and closed (planning to put it where my current stereo is so it stands ABOVE the stick shift and move my stereo down to the “free space” right behind the stick.

What year Mustang do you have?
Atleast you have cupholders. My '92 doesnt have one in the entire car.

99… The cup holders are litereally useless. One of them I cant use because in second and fourth gear the stick clearly hits the cup and the other one alittle behind it is useless becaues my elbow goes there when shifting.
