Had to grab a few parts, and they had everything I needed. No waiting around, no runaround—just a smooth, easy transaction. The people there were decent, the place was clean. Not much else to say, but it was a good experience. ---

Look, I bought an engine from these guys, and it smoked like a damn forest fire. When I tried to bring it back within the warranty window, they hit me with some nonsense about voiding it because my car isn’t registered. What kind of scam is that? Nowhere in their paperwork or website does it say anything about needing a registered car to use their parts—especially when my car is stock except for a roll cage. It’s not like I’m running it in a demolition derby. They’re just looking for any excuse not to give me my money back. My lawyer’s already been in touch, and if they haven’t heard from him yet, they will soon. They might’ve pulled this on other people, but not this time. ---

Avoid this place like the plague. They sell you busted parts, then try to blame *you* when they don’t work. I’m not kidding—don’t waste your time or money here. They’re the worst.

I don’t get why some people leave bad reviews here. Larry and his team have always been solid. Even when I call asking for weird, obscure parts, they usually have them. They take payment over the phone, call when it’s ready, and I just swing by. It’s not one of those yards where you wander around looking for stuff, but if you ask, they’ll even send pictures of the part before you pick it up. That’s all you can really ask for. ---

I’ve dealt with a lot of salvage yards, but this place was actually *good*. The woman on the phone was friendly, the guy who helped me load up my part even cleaned it for me and made sure it was secure for the drive. No hassle, no nonsense—just straightforward service. If you’re looking for parts, start here. Seriously, I don’t say that lightly. ---
