Terrible service, and when they don’t know their own prices, they just pick the highest one they can find. No empathy, no effort—just a bad experience all around. ---

Went in for a headlight plug, and they tried to charge me $75. I walked out, went to the GM dealer, and got the same part for $11. Absolute scam. Don’t bother with these people—they’ll overcharge you every time. ---

Dude, Jay is the worst. The second I got on the phone, he started talking down to me like I was wasting his time. I was just pointing out that the door had more damage than he’d listed, and he acted like I was being difficult. He finally gave me a $50 refund, but not before telling me to “go buy some Kleenex” with it. Unbelievable. There are plenty of other junkyards out there—no need to deal with this guy. ---

I called about a bumper cover, and I’m an hour away—no pictures, no idea what shape it’s in. They won’t even send someone to check it out unless I give them my credit card first. That’s not happening. How am I supposed to know if I want the part if I don’t know what it looks like? If it’s busted, I’m not handing over my card for nothing. But if it’s in good shape, I’d happily put down a deposit. Instead, they lost a sale over something that would’ve taken five minutes to sort out. ---

Ordered a transmission on Tuesday, called back Wednesday to pay the deposit, and was told it’d be ready by Thursday morning at the latest. I rescheduled my whole week to pick it up, but Thursday came and went—no transmission. Jay (the owner, I think) kept saying it’d be ready, so I kept pushing back my other jobs. Friday morning? Still nothing. The woman on the phone—Donna, maybe?—was short with me from the second I called. When I asked to talk to Jay, they said no. Then they tried to cancel the whole order. A week of back-and-forth, and they still couldn’t get it right. No communication, no respect, and clearly no care about their customers. No wonder everyone else is leaving one-star reviews.
