Went to pick up a part at the usual spot, but the door was locked and no one answered. Called the number on the door, got put on hold for over 20 minutes, and some guy from Ohio told me they were closed for pickups before transferring me to another location. When I called back 10 minutes later, they said the office was closed. Absolute nightmare—no one bothered to actually help, just passed me around like a hot potato.

Went up to the front desk and asked some guy named Mike—black, squinty-eyed, looked like he was on something—for help. Dude acted like I wasn’t even there. Rude, dismissive, and straight-up hostile. Didn’t even bother hiding it. I bailed and went to Brandywine instead, where at least they treated me like a human being.

Eric and Will at The Exit saved me when I was in a total panic. I showed up in the middle of a personal crisis, feeling like I had no options, and they didn’t just help—they *listened*. No judgment, no rush, just patience and real professionalism from the start. They took their time figuring out what would work for me, explaining everything clearly, and checking in to make sure I was okay. What stood out most was how they balanced expertise with actual kindness. They kept me calm, gave me solid advice, and made sure I left feeling like I had a plan. If you ever need someone who’ll treat you like a person, not just a customer, these are the guys.

Honestly, this place is a lifesaver for anyone working on their own car. The only weird thing is how some employee always checks my bag when I walk in but never when I leave—like, what’s the point? Other than that, it’s solid. The real-time inventory on their website is a game-changer, and once you figure out how the lot’s laid out, you’ll be golden. Seriously, if you’re doing the work yourself, this is where you go. The staff is friendly, helpful, and everyone there seems to genuinely care. Oh, and they’ve got four locations in Maryland, so you’re covered no matter where you are.

Big junkyard where you can either hunt for parts yourself or talk to one of the guys hanging around to negotiate. Prices are fair, and the website’s got a decent list of what’s available and how much it costs. One thing—don’t let them slap that warranty on your order at checkout. They try to charge it by default, so make sure to ask them to take it off unless you actually want it.
