I needed a side mirror for my truck and ended up at this place on a whim. The guys there didn’t just grab the first one they saw—they actually took the time to dig around until they found the perfect match. That’s rare in this business, where most places just want to move you out the door. Prices were solid too, not the usual junkyard markup. I’ll be back next time I need parts, no question.

These folks saved my day. I was in a bind trying to fix my car, and they didn’t just sell me parts—they made sure I got the right ones and that everything worked like it should. No attitude, no rushing me out. Just good, honest help. If you’re looking for parts and don’t want the runaround, go here.

I’d been to three other shops looking for a part, and nobody had it. Then I found this place, and not only did they have it, but they helped me get it fast—even when they were busy. Everyone there knew their stuff, and the selection was huge. If you’re hunting for a hard-to-find part, this is the spot. I don’t say that lightly.

Needed a starter for my Honda and didn’t want to pay dealership prices. Huntsville Auto & Truck Salvage had it, and the staff went above and beyond—checking compatibility, answering all my questions, and making sure I left with the right part. The price was way better than new, and the part works perfectly. They clearly care about getting customers the right thing, not just moving inventory. If you’re in Huntsville and need used parts, this is where you go.

I called ahead for a door panel and a window switch, and when I showed up, the place was clean, the staff was friendly, and they had exactly what I needed at a fair price. It was so hot outside that day, and they didn’t even bat an eye when I brought my dog in to keep him cool. Little things like that matter. I’ll be back, and I’ve already told a few people about this place.
