Depends. Back when my 16 year old daughter smashed up the front of this 1979 Chev tank that I bought her, I took her up the local junk yard. She had made up a list of parts she needed and equipped with an adjustable wrench, a pair of pliers and a screwdriver she entered the office of the wrecking yard.
Now, keep in mind she was (still is) a very pretty, well built young lady. The guys at the counter were more than willing to help her find and remove the parts she needed (not to worry, I was closely watching).
When she went to pay, this one nice, toothless dude just said "that's OK, pretty girl, no charge".
So, it depends.
