ZERO STARS!!!!
Don't take any catalytic converters to them they will act like they have to find a number on it while they really just grind it off so I have to sell it to them for whatever low ball price they give u.. also takes forever to get anything weight and to get cash… Do not go here… Try SPI on East 30th instead.

I'm not allowed at jps for giving them a bad Google review…. They have the slowest service and the lowest scrap prices in town and wouldn't be surprised if the scale was rigged and Paul the owner has no clue how to run a scrap business trys to have only one employee to manage and operate every thing so expect to be there for an hour or more when turning in scrap

There is a worker here named Jason who is deserving of 5 stars. He's a hard worker and ever since he became the main guy on the grounds, this yard is more efficient and far better organized.
Now the reason for 1 star is the owner. He doesn't care about his customers. I have seen with my own eyes people who steal from this place and process their scrap onsite, yet be allowed return time and time again. However, my boyfriend who was going there everyday (he is a junk scrapper by trade) was asked by a employee to help him cut something from a previous customer's bucket and the owner accused he was processing on site and banned him for life.
Bearing in mind that there are ZERO signs posted stating that there's not to be any processing on site, or any other rules for that matter.
How can everybody be held to the same standards if those standards are not known?
Randomly banning someone for something, yet allowing others to do it is discrimination.
The owner is a minority himself, and I would think he would be cognizant of how hurtful and frustrating discrimination can be. SMH.
