Cash-N-Carry Pull Your Part at 500 Staley Ave, Savannah, GA 31405

Spanish speakers will feel right at home here in Savannah, Georgia. I found the perfect parts and it’s actually interesting to see how they recycle cars.

I needed to sell a running car for $450 and they promised pickup on Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. I rearranged my work day to wait around. By late afternoon I called and the woman acted like I was in the wrong for checking on it. No show, no call, no apology. Next window was Thursday, same story. Finally at 4 p.m. they called to say they were on the way, but when I drove over they were already leaving after waiting just a few minutes. I had to flag the driver down, literally beg him to take the car—I was still 100 yards away when he was pulling out. He checked with his office, then gave me the $450 check and took it. I’ve never dealt with a place that gives eight-hour pickup windows, blows you off, and never explains or apologizes. Not recommending this company for anything.

The staff is really friendly. Just remember the salvage yard closes 30 minutes before the main office, so if you want the air intake duct and radiator support bracket you’ve got to be in and out with your tools no later than 3:00 on a Sunday.

The folks at the counter helped me find exactly what I needed right away. They even let me borrow a free wheelbarrow to haul everything to the car. When I came back, ice water was waiting at the entrance—ice cold and free.

We scraped together every last dollar to bring the car as they said they’d buy it. They close at 5:30, we pulled in at 5:03. The checker had already left for the day, so now we were stuck. They made us drive all this way, promised an amount, and then it was a totally different story.

The guy who quoted my car over the phone was quick and fair—no long, drawn-out calls or nonsense. That’s why I gave them four stars. The actual pickup, though? The guy who showed up was in a hurry, didn’t say much, and acted like I was wasting his time. Still, the whole process was smooth enough that I’d probably send someone else their way if they needed to get rid of a car. ---

This place has a ton of older cars, but you’ll find some newer ones too. The parts are solid—headliners, rims, tires with decent tread left on them. Where I’m from in Louisiana, yards like this don’t exist, so it’s actually worth the drive. They’ve got a lot of stuff sitting around, and if you’re looking for something specific, chances are you’ll find it here. ---

I drove all the way to Cash and Carry again, and let me tell you—it’s frustrating. The second I pulled up, I noticed they’d already stripped half the trucks in the lot before I even got there. At first, I thought other people were just beating me to the good parts, but no, it’s just how they do things. I ended up with a rusted-out tow hitch and a hood seal that was basically garbage for $22. Not worth the trip, not worth the gas. They really need to start posting better pictures of what’s actually left on these cars. I’ve been coming here for years, and it never gets any better. At this point, I feel like they’re the ones getting the good end of the deal, not me. ---

Me and my buddies rolled up here looking for parts for an old Civic, and we hit the jackpot. Miss Ruthy—pretty sure that’s her name—was a total lifesaver. She hooked us up with a killer deal on everything we needed and went out of her way to help when we were stuck. No doubt we’ll be back the next time we’re in a bind. ---

The prices here are great, and the people working there actually know what they’re doing. That said, the neighborhood’s a little rough—some shady-looking folks hanging around outside. It’s only $2 to get in, so it’s not a huge hassle, but you’ve gotta be okay with the vibe. Still worth it if you’re after parts.
