Don’t waste your time if you’re not from Polk County. We drove an hour and 20 minutes to buy a $5,000 motor, and they straight-up told us no—*only* sell to locals. Never heard of a junkyard turning away cash like that. What’s the point? ---

Frank at Spivey’s saved my 2012 Chevy Malibu’s transmission—and honestly, I don’t know what I’d have done without him. The guy went way beyond what I expected, and I’m still grateful every time I drive it. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares, this is the place. ---

Donna at Spivey’s made finding tires *way* easier than it should’ve been. Got a solid set at a fair price, and she walked me through everything without the runaround. If you need parts or just someone who knows what they’re talking about, these are the people to call.

Look, I’ve run my own shop for years—tires, oil changes, small repairs—so I know what it’s like to hustle and treat people right. I don’t play games, and I don’t take advantage. That’s why I was shocked when this place turned on me after I bought a transmission for a friend’s car. Paid $1,500 upfront, gave the guy $1,000 for his part, followed every step they said for the warranty. Then the Nissan dealership claimed the fluid was low (I checked—it wasn’t), and suddenly the warranty’s “void.” Called them, dropped off the car, waited over a week with no updates. When I finally got someone on the phone, they brushed me off. No owner, no real answers—just a mess. I don’t throw my name around like this, but after years of helping others, this stings. Praying for them, but man… this wasn’t right. ---

Bought a differential from Spivey’s, only to realize I didn’t actually need it. But instead of making me feel stupid, they took it back no questions asked. The whole team was cool about it—no attitude, just helpful. Not every place would do that. ---
