J P Scrap at 3343 W Sunset Rd, Tucson, AZ 85705

Alexa is hands-down the best person to deal with at this place. She’s always polite, never rushes you, and her English is crystal clear—no guessing what she’s saying. Every time I’ve been in, she’s made the whole process smooth. ---

Look, it’s a junkyard—what do you expect? But the people running the place are decent, no-nonsense, and it’s got that small-family-business vibe. Prices are fair, and you’re not getting ripped off. That said, watch where you’re driving. Stuff’s everywhere, and if you’re not careful, you’ll ding your car. Saw a rusted-out Wall-E back there, so at least it’s entertaining. ---

My mom, Dorothy, asked me to leave this review for Scrap Metals Recycling, and honestly, I’m glad she did. The whole place runs on a shoestring, but Alexa—one of their employees—makes it work. She’s always juggling a million things at once, yet she never loses her cool or that warm smile that actually makes dropping off scrap feel less like a chore. The rest of the staff seems solid too, no shady business here. If it weren’t for Alexa, I’d probably take my scrap somewhere else, but she’s the reason I keep coming back. ---

The customer service here is top-notch. The owner’s a straight shooter, super friendly, and even offered me a job if I needed one. They move fast, no games, no hidden fees. The place is a little messy, but they stay open later than most—until 5 PM—and they’re open Saturdays too. Small things, but it adds up. ---

Absolute worst experience I’ve ever had at a metal recycling place. Went in for motors, compressors, and some copper, and left with a busted rear quarter panel because some lady backed into me. Management didn’t even blink—just acted like it was my problem. Place is a disaster, inside and out. Wouldn’t go back if you paid me.
