Route 14 Auto Parts at 14020 Washington St, Woodstock, IL 60098

Needed a tire fast, and these guys didn’t mess around. In and out in under 20 minutes, no hassle. Price was fair, service was solid—what more do you want? ---

My kids are still talking about this place. We’ve been here twice now, and every time it’s been smooth sailing. The guy who helped us didn’t just show up—he made the whole process feel easy, even for a family with no clue what they’re doing. But the real kicker? He let my boys climb into the tow truck and showed them how it works. They’ve been begging to go back ever since. ---

Honestly didn’t expect much from a scrapyard, but Route 14 surprised me. The place was actually organized, which is rare, and the guys working there were friendly without being pushy. They knew exactly where everything was, which saved me a ton of time digging through piles. Prices were reasonable too. I spent a good chunk of the afternoon just wandering around, climbing over cars, and poking through parts—way more fun than it sounds. Found two out of the three specific things I was hunting for, so I’d call that a win. Only realized on my way out that they’ll actually pull parts for you if you ask, which is handy. Oh, and they were cool about me losing my phone. I was out in the lot, climbing on some old Chevy, when I noticed it was missing. By the time I found it, the place was about to close, but they didn’t rush me out. Saved me a headache and a few hundred bucks. Definitely coming back. ---

Ben is the reason we’re not dealing with a broken tree right now. Our Jeep was parked in a way that made me nervous—one wrong move and that big maple limb would’ve been history. But he backed it out like it was nothing, no scratches, no damage. The guy’s a pro, no question. If you need a tow, ask for him. ---

If you’re looking for parts for an old Ranger or B2300, this is the spot. Picked up a bunch of grabs for under $100 and got my truck looking almost new again. One tip—go after it’s been dry out. I stepped in mud so deep it ruined my shoes. Worth it for the parts, but maybe bring boots next time.
