The people here actually know what they’re doing—no running around in circles. Prices aren’t crazy, and the warranty on parts gives you peace of mind. Not gonna overpay for something that’ll crap out in a week.

If you’re in Hunts Point and need parts, Sam’s your guy. Dude picks up the phone, doesn’t make you jump through hoops, and actually knows his stuff. Easy to talk to, runs a solid business, and if he doesn’t have what you need, he’ll point you in the right direction. No nonsense.

Got a response fast, and the prices were way better than the other places I checked. They had a part I’d been hunting for everywhere else—no luck until I walked in there. Definitely worth the drive.

I spent half a day calling every junkyard in the area trying to find a power steering pump for my 2010 Honda Accord. Most either didn’t have it or wanted way too much. Sam’s was the only place that had the part at a fair price—and they even let me bring it back if it didn’t fit. Saved me a headache.

Sam Auto Salvage had the exact part I needed for my 2009 BMW 528i at a price that didn’t make me want to cry. They’ve got a huge selection of cars, so even if you’ve got something rare, they’ll probably have it. I’d send anyone there without hesitation.
