Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I pulled in for a Jeep Liberty window, but the place looked like one of those old-school recycling buses—no frills, just parts. The guys working there, though? Seemed like regular local folks, not some corporate setup.

I had no idea this place even existed until I stumbled on it. Pro tip: call ahead. If they’ve got your part, it’s in decent shape—no surprises.

I’ve only been there once, and it was quick, but they were actually pretty decent to deal with. For a salvage yard, that’s saying something. Found what I needed, no hassle.

This guy was just plain rude, and it had nothing to do with his skin color. I called about an engine, asked a couple questions, and he hit me with a $4,000 price without even telling me the mileage. When I pushed back, he said he could give me the VIN—like that was supposed to fix it. I only gave him two stars because, hey, at least he answered the phone.

Avoid this place. The owner’s old-school and straight-up rude. I’m pretty sure if I were white, I’d have gotten a different reaction. Went in to check out a door, and he wouldn’t even move an inch. And that attitude? Pure cockiness. Not worth the headache.
