Not that I know of. The one I used to go to closed up early this year. What part are you chasing?
I know a couple here in Newy that don't mind taking you out the back, just not by yourself...

Not a tru self serve like pick and payless mentioned above, but the wreckers at Lake Munmorah next to the shell servo are prob a bit too far south for you, but every time I have been there they just point to the section you want and you go for it. Having said that I was only after interior parts. I found the same at a wreckers at Raymond Terrace. I told them what I wanted and they pointed me in the direction and off I went.
Can I ask why you specifically want self serve? |
