Picked up a 5.7L Vortec engine here, and it was exactly what I needed—no surprises, no hidden damage. The price was solid, too. The staff didn’t just hand me the part and walk away; they actually took the time to answer my questions and make sure I had what I was looking for. Not every salvage yard does that, so it’s nice when you find one that does. ---

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect after driving three hours just to pick up an engine, but the people there made it worth the trip. Everyone was easy to talk to, no attitude, just straight-up helpful. Turns out the engine was junk, though—didn’t even make it out of the driveway before I knew it was no good. I called them up, half-expecting some runaround, but the guy on the phone didn’t hesitate. Said no problem, they’d refund me, and I didn’t even have to haul the thing back. That’s the kind of place I like doing business with—no excuses, just fixes the issue. If I’m ever in the market for parts again, they’re at the top of my list. ---

Bought a tail light off eBay from these guys, and it was a total mess from start to finish. First, they sent the wrong side—like, how do you even do that? Then the thing showed up cracked, and when I called them out on it, they tried to play dumb, saying it wasn’t the part they sent. Seriously? What kind of scam is that? I wouldn’t trust them to sell me a paperclip, let alone car parts. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. ---

Prices are fair, and the people who work there actually know what they’re talking about. No guessing games, no overcharging—just straightforward help when you need it. That’s all you can really ask for in a place like this. ---
