Bauer's Auto Wrecking at 103 N Thorne Ave, Fresno, CA 93706

Let me tell you, this was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with a junkyard. I sent them a picture of the exact part I needed, double-checked all the details, and even confirmed the vehicle match. But when I drove 70 miles to Fresno to pick it up, the part they gave me was from a completely different car. My mechanic called me the next day to say it wouldn’t work—turns out, they’d lied to my face. I showed up to return it, and the guy behind the counter acted like *I* was the problem. He asked if I’d sent a picture (yes, I had—multiple times), then disappeared into the back. When he came back, he handed me something that didn’t even *resemble* what I’d asked for. Then, instead of fixing it, he tried to give me store credit—like that was supposed to make it better. When I pushed back, he had the nerve to say most businesses do the same thing. At that point, the owner walked in, shut it down, and made them refund me. But not before the employee tried to blame *his boss* for the mess, even though I’d been standing there the whole time listening to his excuses. The cherry on top? As I was leaving, he actually said he hoped to help me again in the future. Yeah, right. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Not happening. ---

I was trying to find parts for my car, and the whole process was a headache from the start. You fill out all this info about what you need, and instead of just telling you if they’ve got it or how much it’ll cost, they hit you with a contact form. No quote, no stock check—just “give us your number.” And after reading every other review here, it’s clear the owner doesn’t care about fixing mistakes. Zero accountability, zero professionalism. That’s not how you run a business. I’m done. I’ll take my money elsewhere. ---

Look, they don’t always have the part you’re looking for, but they *do* tell you up front if it’s there or not—no runaround. And if you ask, they’ll test electric fans before you buy them. Just say the word. Simple as that. ---

Went in on January 8th, 2025, looking for a left tail light housing. They wanted $35 for it. Turns out Auto Zone had the same part for $7. The guy working was rude, overcharging, and acted like I was wasting his time. Won’t be back. ---

Honestly, I went to eight different junkyards before I found this place, and I was shocked—they had *two* of the exact hybrid parts I needed. I just wanted a pigtail connector, and they had it. The price was a little steep, but I get it—business has been rough with COVID, and parts aren’t exactly cheap. Still, they saved me a ton of money in the long run. The owner was straightforward, friendly, even let me pick the part myself after they pulled it. For that, I’m grateful. Would recommend them, even if they’re not the cheapest option out there.
