This place is a total scam. I brought in a car with a seized engine, and they lowballed me from $500 down to $75 because—get this—they claimed the *last owner* had welded on a new catalytic converter. Like, what? If you don’t want to get screwed over, don’t even walk in the door. ---

Absolute nightmare. Bought an engine from these guys, and they promised a $100 credit if I returned the old one. Now my old motor’s been sitting at the mechanic’s for *months*, racking up storage fees, while they keep telling me, *"Just give us two or three days to pick it up."* Yeah, right. Two months later, still nothing. They don’t care—just sit around chatting while customers get stuck paying. Never again. If you need parts, go *anywhere* else. ---

Waste of money. Handed over cash for a part, and when it didn’t work, they refused a refund or even a discount for the wait. Took them *five days* just to acknowledge the problem, and by then, it was too late. No returns, no help—just a bunch of excuses. If you value your money, don’t bother. There are better salvage yards out there.

Bought an engine here in October 2019—ordering and delivery were fast, no issues. But the core charge? Still waiting. They were supposed to pick up my old engine to refund the core price, but it’s been over a year, and it’s still sitting in my garage. Every time I call, they say no driver’s available, yet they deliver parts to other places daily. Finally got my core back after months of hassle, but the whole experience was a mess. ---

As a body shop owner, I was forced to order a fender from this junkyard after the insurance company said it was the only place that had it. The part was damaged—wouldn’t even fit—and when I asked for a replacement or return, they ghosted me. Five months later, after endless calls, they suddenly had *no record* of my request. Now they’re saying I have to drive 126 miles to drop it off for credit? Unbelievable. No warranty, no accountability, just lies. I’ve dealt with salvage yards for years, and this is the worst. Stay far away. ---
