Let me tell you, this place is a nightmare if you’re trying to get anything done. I run my own auto shop, and I’ve dealt with plenty of salvage yards—but this one takes the cake for how badly they treat customers. The guy on the phone acted like I was wasting his time just asking basic questions. No professionalism, no patience, just attitude. And it’s not like this is the first complaint I’ve heard about them. At this point, I’d give them one star if I could, but I’m leaving it at two because at least they *have* parts. Doubt they’ll ever change, though. ---

Don’t bother with this place if you’re looking for decent service. I drove all the way from out of state just to get a part for my car, and they made the whole process miserable. They had the exact part I needed—same color, everything—but refused to pull it that day. Instead, they wanted me to drive 3.5 hours *just to pay*, then come back in three or four days to actually pick it up. That’s a 14-hour round trip for a $125 part? No way. And the way they talked to me? Rude, dismissive, like I was inconveniencing *them*. I’d tell anyone to steer clear, no matter how far they are. ---

Trying to buy an engine from out of state? Don’t waste your time here. The “manager” I talked to made it impossible. First, he said no credit cards over the phone—fine, whatever. Then he said no checks because “that’s the owner’s policy.” So I’m supposed to just show up in person? That’s not how this works. Then he had the nerve to suggest I give *my* credit card to the transport driver so he could charge it under my company name. Like, what? And the whole time, he’s complaining about how much time I’m wasting *him* on the phone. Meanwhile, he won’t even call the owner to ask for a solution. If they can’t figure out how to sell to out-of-state customers, they shouldn’t be advertising to us. ---

David at this place is the worst. I needed a fuel tank, and he swore they had it. So I waited—two whole days—just for him to call back and say, “Oops, never mind, it’s no good.” And get this: they charged me *before* telling me it was bad. No receipt, no refund notice, nothing. When I pointed out that was ridiculous, he just said, “Well, you didn’t ask for a receipt.” Excuse me? Common sense says if you charge someone, you give them a receipt. But no, they don’t care. The whole experience was a mess—rude, unhelpful, and zero apologies. I’d avoid this place like the plague.

Hands down, this is the best salvage yard I’ve ever dealt with. I was looking for a transmission for my 2011 Suzuki Kizashi AWD, and let’s just say those aren’t easy to find. But Bilderback’s had it—and at a fair price. The guys there went above and beyond. I told them I’d be driving two hours to get there, and they handled everything over the phone: payment, paperwork, even asking if I needed anything else off the car. I mentioned the luggage rack covers, and they pulled those too. When I showed up, the transmission was wrapped up tight and ready to go, plus they threw in the covers for free. Two years later, my car’s still running strong, and I owe it to these guys. If you need a hard-to-find part, this is the place. ---
