Honestly, the people here are super helpful and the prices are fair. I went in looking for one specific part, but while I was there, I ended up grabbing a few other things I needed. If you're in the market for car parts, I’d tell anyone to check this place out first.

My car died on the side of the road, and I was freaking out—no spare, no idea what to do. Then I found Meadows Salvage, and they had *exactly* what I needed. Not only that, but they pulled the part off the car for me while I stood there like a lost puppy. If it weren’t for them, I’d still be stranded. Absolute game-changers.

The staff here is super friendly, even when they don’t have what you’re looking for. I walked in needing a specific part, and while they didn’t have it, they went out of their way to help me find an alternative. Fast, no nonsense, and actually seemed to care that I left happy. Not every place does that.

Honestly, this place is a lifesaver for cheap, decent parts. The prices are fair, and the people who work there actually care about helping you out. They even dig through the junk for you—no need to waste time searching yourself. Seriously, they’ve saved me a ton of money over the years.

The guy who helped me was polite enough, but he straight-up lied about having the part I needed. I drove over an hour to get there, and when I showed up, they had nothing. No warning, no apology—just a shrug like it was my problem. Two hours of my time and gas money down the drain because he didn’t bother checking before sending me on a wild goose chase.

My local LKQ sent me here, and I’m glad they did. The prices were decent, and they had a solid selection for my truck. The guy who helped me walked me through the lot, let me pick out what I wanted, and even made sure I got everything I needed for installation.
I was after a bumper and grill, but they didn’t have the exact match for my model. The bumper I found had these heavy-duty tow hooks, though, so now my truck’s got a little custom flair—even if it’s not the original setup. If I’d brought a better list, I probably could’ve bundled a few more parts and saved some money.
Still, it was worth the drive from Joplin. If I’d just called ahead, I might’ve assumed they didn’t have what I needed and skipped the trip entirely. The only downside is that I’ll need to sand and paint one section to match, but the end result looks way better than a busted grill.
The parts were pulled with all the hardware I needed, and even as a beginner, I didn’t have much trouble putting them in. The guy who helped me knew his stuff—friendly, professional, and clearly enjoyed his job. They should keep him around.

This place is a mess if you don’t come in with your ducks in a row. I called from an hour away, gave Brian every detail—year, make, model, *exact* part number—and he swore up and down they had two in stock. Got there, and not only was the part gone, but he never even checked. The guy running the yard felt awful and tried to fix it, but Brian? Didn’t seem to care at all. If you’re the owner, fire that guy before he costs you more business.
