Needed a part for my car and this place had it—no hassle, no markup. Got what I needed at a fair price, which is all I ask for. Hope it stays that way.

Jorge’s the guy to call when I need a part. Always knows what he’s talking about, never wastes my time, and the prices are solid. Won’t go anywhere else.

The staff here actually took the time to walk me through what I needed instead of just ringing me up. Saved me $600 compared to the dealer—no joke. I’ll be back next time.

If you’re looking for used parts, skip the big chains and go here. Better selection, better prices, and Nelly’s the one to ask for—she’ll hook you up. They’ll even pull the part for you if you don’t want to dig through it yourself. And if they don’t have what you need? They’ll call you when it comes in. Only place we use now.
