Overview

Recla Metals at 328 2nd St, Clifton, CO 81520

Recla Metals is a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal recycling center at 328 2nd St in Clifton. Customers can browse, remove, and buy parts from donated or junked vehicles. The yard also takes in scrap metal like old appliances, tools, and machinery for recycling. It serves DIY mechanics hunting for affordable used parts and people looking to sell scrap metal.

Services & What to Expect

Recla Metals runs a no-frills u-pull-it operation. Customers enter the yard, find the vehicle with the part they need, and remove it themselves. The business doesn’t provide tools or help with part removal, so bring your own. You’ll find common parts like engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components, though the selection changes with new donations. The yard is known for having both everyday and harder-to-find parts.

Beyond auto salvage, Recla Metals buys scrap metal for recycling. This includes steel, aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous metals. They weigh and pay for scrap on-site, with rates tied to current market prices. If you’re looking to get rid of an old car, they may buy junk vehicles—call ahead to confirm details. For more junk car buyers in the area, check our cash for junk cars page.

The yard doesn’t sell new parts or offer professional disassembly. All transactions are cash-only, and buyers are on their own to check part condition before removal. No warranties or guarantees come with salvaged parts.

Honestly, I’m at the Clifton location all the time—it’s my go-to. The second one opening closer to me is gonna be a game-changer. They never waste my time, always get it done fast, and the crew’s got it together. And yeah, I’ll admit, watching them crush cars is weirdly satisfying. ---

These folks are solid. I don’t do a ton of steel work, but when I do, this is where I go. Prices are the best around, and since I’m disabled, they always load it right into my trailer for me. In and out in 15 minutes, no fuss. ---

The service here is top-notch. Everyone’s wearing masks and taking COVID seriously, which I appreciate. Plus, their scrap and steel prices are unbeatable in this area. If you’re looking for good metal, Recla in Clifton is the place. ---

I ordered metal in specific sizes, set for pickup a week later. The day before, they called to say it was ready. Then I show up, and they hit me with a $100 price jump because the pieces were longer than I asked for. They said if I didn’t want it, I shouldn’t have taken the order—after I drove four hours to get it. Not a word the day before about the mistake or the extra cost. The manager said the owner wouldn’t honor the original quote. That’s it—I’m done. There are other places with the same stuff, and they actually care about customers. What a waste.

I spent half a day calling and visiting every supplier in the area, thinking I’d have to scrap my whole project or wait forever for materials. Then I called Montrose, and their prices were way better—and they had everything in stock. Turns out Clifton had even lower prices and the same stock. Saved me over $100 and kept my project on track. The people are helpful, the stock is good, and the prices beat everyone else’s. No reason to look anywhere else. ---
