Old Yeller Auto at 5385 Garfield St, Denver, CO 80216

I’m way up in Loserville, Canada. I phoned this yard twice over two months looking for the same part for the same car. Both times the guy on the phone was super polite, straight up honest, and sent detailed pics over text for what he had. Didn’t work out the first time. Second time around I asked about four brake calipers over four weeks. He bent over backwards every single time. Cut the price from $400 to $250 because he knew I was out of province and would need to have them painted for looks only. He even took extra care to box the whole set tight and lined up a decent shipping rate. Prices are solid for what you get. I’d ask him about anything else I need for my car. I rarely bother with reviews, but after all that effort on packing and pricing, I felt rude not to say thanks. Google sucks with its number checks, but I’d still leave five stars if I could. Skip the haters—the guy on the phone handled me start to finish. Ask for pics up front and don’t dance around. He’ll work with you. That’s why I’m sticking with them.

The staff is friendly and what they list is what you get. Prices stay fair, so it’s a solid stop.

This place is rough. I come once and the vibe is sour. They act like customers are a pain. Last time they said they had my part but needed to eyeball it first and would text pics. A week later I called and the guy snapped at me, said he didn’t have time for photos, and basically told me to drive out and dig around myself. Straight rude, total waste. Why not just say that from the get-go? Done with them for good.

Honestly, I was lucky to find a TH400 transmission at Old Yeller—those things aren’t easy to come by. Paid $400 for it, which seemed fair, and they threw in a 30-day warranty. Not gonna lie, I didn’t expect much more than that. Brought it back to the shop, dropped the pan, and—yep—there was a chunk of metal in there. Sent a quick text with a picture, and within minutes, the owner replied, *"Bring it back, we’ll swap it out."* No hassle. The guys there loaded me up with a fresh transmission, got it installed, and it’s running smooth now. Of course, buying used parts means you’ve got to do your homework—replaced the filter, fresh O-ring and gasket on the pump, dumped in 12 quarts of fluid. Still, the risk was worth it this time. ---

Needed an engine harness for my truck, and Old Yeller had the exact one I needed. Drove all the way to Denver on a Sunday just to pick it up, but the price was solid. No nonsense, no upselling—just a fair deal. If you’re looking for someone who won’t waste your time, this is the place. Highly recommend him. ---

Needed a transmission, and this was the only place that had one. Simple as that. No hassle, no runaround—just got what I needed and got out. Old Yeller came through when no one else could. ---

Honestly, Stan and his crew are the real deal—no games, no overpriced junk, just solid parts and straight talk. I’ve sent so many people their way, and every single one comes back saying the same thing: finally, a salvage yard that doesn’t waste your time or money. ---

Bought an ECM for $1,000 thinking I’d fix up my truck and keep it. Turns out, the part I got can’t even be programmed to my vehicle. Tried returning it within 30 days, but they refused—then had the nerve to talk to me like I was the problem. Paid cash, which was my mistake, but still. If you need a warranty or a real return policy, stay far away from this place. ---

Stan at Old Yeller is the real deal—no fluff, no games. He’d rather tell you the truth upfront than push a sale, and that’s rare these days. Respected my time, kept me in the loop, and made the whole process easy. Not just a good business, but a *good* business. I’ll be back, and I’ll send anyone else who needs parts his way.

Stan and his team at Old Yeller made the whole process easy. No hidden agendas, no pushy sales—just honest answers and respect for your time. That’s rare in business these days. He kept me updated every step of the way, and I actually *wanted* to come back. Not many places earn that kind of trust.
