I didn’t find the part I needed, but honestly, just wandering around the yard was kind of fun. The place has a lot of character—way more interesting than most junkyards. ---

The guys here are easy to work with, and they’ve got a solid selection of parts. Prices are fair, whether you’re after tires, car bits, or whatever else you need. They’ll even help you get it done right. ---

A few years back, this place had decent prices, but lately? It’s gotten way too expensive. And forget trying to get ahold of someone—parts are hard to track down, and the prices have basically doubled in the last six months. Customers feel like an afterthought now. ---

This place is a goldmine if you’re hunting for weird or rare car parts. Most wrecking yards would’ve crushed the stuff they’ve got, but here? You can find those bizarre little pieces—like interior bits—for a fraction of what you’d pay for "new old stock" from overseas. If you’re restoring something unusual, start here.
