From the first call to picking up the three parts I needed, everything went smoothly. David was sharp, friendly, and knew his stuff. Haven’t even installed them yet, but that’s on me. All in all, a solid experience. ---

My dad and I worked with Jim to swap out my engine, and he didn’t just help—he made sure I felt good about the whole thing. Even gave me a solid mechanic recommendation. Hope I never need another engine, but if I do, Jim’s the guy. ---

Look, salvage yards don’t take pictures of every single part because that’s impossible—there are thousands in each car. K&R doesn’t mess around, though. They sell parts in good shape and back them with a warranty. Yeah, it’s used, not new. Same goes for wheels and engines—you won’t get perfect, but they’ll tell you what needs replacing. Do your homework before buying, and you’ll be fine. If you still don’t get it, try running a salvage yard yourself. Then you’ll see.

Honestly, I was a little skeptical walking in here after reading some of the bad reviews online. But Joe and his team put me at ease right away. They cut out the rocker panel I needed, and when I saw it myself—still in decent shape—I realized I’d been overthinking it. Turns out, Joe was straight with me from the start, and now I actually trust this place. I’m happy with what I got, and I’m sorry if I came off as pushy—I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting ripped off. I get it’s a business, but I also tried to see things from their side. Thanks, Joe, for being patient with me and keeping it real. ---

I was out of state, but David and the team made it happen—same-day service, door ready when I got there. The price was fair, and everyone was helpful. If you’re looking for parts, this is the place. ---
