I did a huge flooring job for this guy at a house he uses as his office, and he still hasn’t paid me. I put in new backer board, screwed down the subfloor, sanded all the high spots so the vinyl planks wouldn’t buckle, laid fresh 3/4-inch plywood everywhere, installed paneling and trim in two rooms, and ran baseboards in every room except the bathroom. I was supposed to get a Ford F-550 truck as payment, but it needed work, so I backed out. He kept shaking my hand, saying he’d pay me in cash—*his word*. That was three months ago. So far, I’ve gotten $450 out of $3,857. Don’t waste your time with Begad Bajric. The man’s a deadbeat when it comes to money. ---

Skip this place. The staff acts like they’re doing you a favor just by existing—no help, no patience, just attitude. Not worth the hassle.

The guy on the phone wouldn’t even answer my questions—just hung up. No help, no effort, just a wasted call. Terrible service. ---

I called these people because someone was supposed to pick up my car at 11 AM. I got one guy on the phone, but he cut me off mid-sentence and said, *"I’ll call the driver."* Then nothing. No call, no driver, no answer when I tried back. Now I can’t even get someone to pick up the damn phone. Absolute joke. Avoid this place. ---

Called to ask about a part, and the guy just *hung up* before I could even finish my question. No explanation, no "hold on," just dead air. If this is how they treat customers, I’d rather take my business somewhere else. ---

I called because reviews said they sold parts, but the second I asked about a specific one, the woman on the phone shut me down: *"No, we don’t have it. No, we don’t sell parts."* What’s the point of a salvage yard if they don’t even *try* to help? Ridiculous.
