Notable quotes:
- “The woman working the front desk acted like I was wasting her time just by being there. Rude doesn’t even cover it. But the guys out in the yard and over at the scrap bay? Total opposite—friendly, helpful, no attitude. Made the whole trip worth it, honestly.” — Steven Fraser
- “Toni’s the reason I keep coming back to Omni Source. She’s the best—no question. The rest of the place is fine, but she’s the only one who makes it worth my time.” — Desarea Castillo
- “My dad used to take me to junkyards when I was a kid, so I’ve always liked them. This place was no different—treated me fine. Saw an older lady struggling to unload her stuff, and before I could even think about helping, one of their guys was already over there giving her a hand.” — Dennis Miller
