I absolutely love going to the pull your part places.

Bring some cardboard to lay on or coveralls. While they might have a place to wash your hands, gloves and some shop rags are important tools.

I've had luck asking if I could go in and make sure they have the year/model car I needed, then come back out and pay the admission.

Last time I walked through, it amazed me how many cars were missing their cylinder heads - must be a lot of leaky gaskets or broken timing belts out there...
