If you’re working on a ‘76 Buick, this is the spot. They’ve got the old-school stuff I couldn’t find anywhere else. Already planning my next trip back—just hope the parts I need haven’t vanished by then. ---

The staff here are actually decent people—no attitude, just straight-up help. They didn’t waste time digging up the parts I needed, which was a relief since I was hunting for something most places don’t even carry. And the prices? Fair. Not cheap, but not the kind of gouging you’d expect for parts that don’t exist new anymore. ---

You’ll stumble on some solid projects here, but don’t count on the photos being up to date. Saw the same car listed for three years straight, price creeping up while it sat there gathering dust. Worth a call to check current stock, though. ---

Skip this place. They tried to sell me a $275 window track that was so dry-rotted it crumbled in my hand. Found the same part on eBay for $40—brand new. Do your homework before walking in.

I could’ve spent all day wandering this place—it’s that packed with stuff. If they don’t have what you’re after, they’ll point you to another yard they work with. Never left empty-handed yet. ---
