Stay away from Sims Metal in Stockton. I run my own business, and this place ruined a relationship with two partners. They treated me like I was trying to pull something, then ignored me when I tried to explain. I waited a month for the Asian manager to get back to me—nothing. After showing up in person, another manager finally told me they couldn’t do anything because it had been too long since I brought the material in. Oh, and by the way, the old management got fired for theft. Seems like a pattern when employees are leaving fake 5-star reviews to cover it up. The front desk staff tried at first, but once it went up the chain, they dropped the ball. No excuse for that kind of mess.
