Positive Reviews
- L Rankin (5/5 stars):
"Needed a part for an old car, and they didn’t have it in stock. Within minutes, they texted me the price, delivery time, and confirmed they’d get it. No hassle, fair price."
- Gabriel M. (5/5 stars):
"One of the better junkyards in Connecticut. Walk in, find what you need (if it’s not a high-end part), and buy it at the listed price. The $2 entry fee is worth it for the deals."
- Luis Molina Atiencia (5/5 stars):
"If you’re working on an older car, this place has a lot of parts—just dig through and pull them yourself. Nothing newer than 2016, but good for classic or older vehicles."
Negative Reviews
- Justin Morrissey (1/5 stars):
"Bought a used 5.3 LS engine with a supposed 90,000 miles. After 6,000 miles, the cam bearings failed. The oil pan was full of sludge when I tore it apart."
- Daniel R (1/5 stars):
"Bought something listed on eBay from them, and it was defective. Took a week to get a response, and they sent a fake tracking number. Only got a refund after repeated calls."
Reviews show the yard offers good deals, but buyers should check used engines and parts carefully. Staff are usually helpful, though delays in ordering can happen.
