Honestly, this place was a total hassle. We showed up looking for parts for our van, and they told us what we needed was at their other location. We paid upfront thinking we’d have the parts the next day—big mistake. A week went by, and we got the runaround the whole time. Turns out, they just send you to their "sister company" anyway. If we’d known that upfront, we could’ve skipped the middleman and saved a week of waiting. The only good thing? We did end up getting some decent tires there at a fair price, and they had them in stock. But the whole process was a mess. ---

This was one of the worst purchases I’ve ever made. Dropped $800 on a transmission that was supposed to have 12,000 miles on it—yeah, right. They never sent the tracking info like they were supposed to, then called me 10 minutes before delivery to say it was on the way. Had to leave work just to meet it, and when it showed up? It looked like it’d been dragged out of a swamp. The thing was leaking oil everywhere because it wasn’t packed right—it tipped over, busted through the pallet, and cracked the plastic pan. Oh, and the axle shaft for the front differential? Missing. So now it’s just pouring fluid out the side. Both seals were shredded, and the whole thing was caked in rust and grime. The flywheel was so bad we had to toss it. No way to even tell if the mileage was real, but it sure looked like it’d been leaking for years. Complete scam. Never buying from them again.

The guy on the phone was seriously helpful—way more than I expected. I was struggling to track down a part for my car, and he didn’t just find it—he dug up a bunch of other models where the same part would fit, then told me exactly where to grab it. I could’ve walked in and picked it up in minutes. Not many places bother with that kind of detail. ---

Needed a rim for my ’05 Silverado, and Deborah (hope that’s right) made it easy. Super friendly, everyone else there was just as nice, and the whole thing went smooth. Won’t be going anywhere else for parts now. Worth the trip.

I called a dozen other junkyards before I found this place, and the guy who answered the phone was *night and day* different. Not only did he have the part I needed (unlike the others, who just told me to dig through their yard), but he double-checked other truck models to see if a different part would work. He was organized, knew his stuff, and actually made me feel like a real customer—not just someone wasting his time. And yeah, the accent didn’t hurt either. I left happy, and I’ll be back. ---
