Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I made the drive from Boston for two Honda Accord doors, but this place blew me away. The doors were in perfect working condition—no rust, no dings, just clean and ready to go. Payment took a little longer than usual because of some personal stuff on my end, but the staff didn’t make it a hassle at all. Tara and Caleb in particular made the whole process feel effortless. I’m not someone who’s easy to impress, but these guys handled everything like pros—even when I realized halfway through that I hadn’t thought things all the way through. They worked with me, no questions asked. Six hours in the car for parts? Worth it. If I could give them 47 stars, I would. Prices are fair, the people are top-notch, and I’ll be back. ---

Found a 2016 Murano mirror listed on their eBay for $599 OBO, but when I dug deeper, I saw the exact same part on their website for $200. Tried to lowball at $300 on eBay, but the seller shot me down. Felt a little shady, honestly. In the end, I just ordered from their site, and it went smooth—mirror showed up as described, with just a few minor scratches, which makes sense since it’s used. No complaints. ---

Bought an engine off their website, and it was a total mess. The price and details looked fine at first, but when I called to arrange shipping, they hit me with an extra $350 on top of what was already quoted. $700 for shipping? That’s a joke. They tried to play it off like it was no big deal, but it’s not cool to lowball someone and then spring extra fees. Don’t waste your time here—just don’t. ---

John and his team made this the easiest salvage yard experience I’ve ever had. They’re professional, fair on pricing, and actually care about getting you the right part. They sent photos before shipping, kept me updated when the freight company picked it up, and just generally went above and beyond. Most places don’t even come close to this level of service. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. ---

I’ve been to a few salvage yards, and most of them just don’t compare to Brown’s. Other places either don’t have what you need or act like it’s your problem if they can’t help. Not here. If they don’t have the part in stock, they’ll track it down for you—sometimes even shipping it straight to your door for a small fee. No attitude, no excuses. If you’re serious about finding a part, skip the rest and just go to Brown’s. Saves you time, stress, and a whole lot of frustration.
