Services & What to Expect

Priest Recycle is a self-service salvage yard, meaning you’re free to walk the lot and find parts yourself. The yard carries a mix of auto parts—everything from small items like spark plugs and sensors to larger components such as transmissions, engines, and body panels. Parts come from both domestic and foreign vehicles, but inventory changes often based on recent acquisitions.

The business also handles scrap metal recycling, accepting aluminum, brass, copper, iron, and stainless steel. Customers can bring in scrap for evaluation, though pricing and acceptance policies aren’t listed online. Staff help with unloading and part identification, as noted in customer reviews.

While the yard doesn’t advertise cash-for-cars services, it does take in unwanted vehicles for recycling. If you’re looking to sell a junk car, check with local junkyards for offers.

Customer Experiences

Priest Recycle gets good reviews for its friendly staff and helpful service. Many customers mention that employees go out of their way to assist, whether it’s unloading scrap or finding parts. A few reviews note that the owner greets customers personally, and others praise the staff’s patience during transactions.

Miranda (M.leigh) : "Every time I go, the people there are always friendly and fair with their prices. They’ve got those genuine smiles that make you feel welcome. And they don’t mind helping me unload when I need it—appreciate that."

Morghan Long : "The staff was really kind. The women in the office were helpful, and the guy who helped unload was patient as could be—even when I was more in the way than anything. Made the whole process easy."

One negative review mentions confusion over scrap metal policies—someone was asked to toss metal only to be told it couldn’t be paid for due to legal reasons. This seems to be an isolated issue, as most reviews highlight the yard’s professionalism.
