Westside Auto Recycling at 2531 Sawtelle Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90064

Losing my mom was hard enough, but dealing with her old truck and camper sitting in the backyard made it worse. I called every junkyard, car buyer, and donation place in L.A. and Santa Monica, and most of them were either rude, clueless, or just ignored my calls. I’d tell them upfront, *“I’ve got a truck AND a camper,”* but half the time, they’d ask a million questions just to say they don’t take campers. I was ready to give up when I found Westside Auto Recycling online. Figured I’d try one last place—on a weekend, no less—so I called expecting voicemail. Skip picked up, and not only was he nice, but he showed up within an hour to check out the situation. He was patient, knew what he was doing, and even understood how tough this was for me. He promised to come back with a tow truck and Donnie, and sure enough, he called the day before to confirm. Donnie kept me updated the whole time, and when they showed up, they got both the truck and camper out without a problem. For the first time in weeks, I didn’t have to stress about it. Skip and Donnie made the whole thing easy, fair-priced, and—honestly—lifesavers. After 40 years in business and 38 as a nurse, I don’t throw around praise lightly. But these guys? They earned it. ---

I called to sell my car, and while the guy on the phone was friendly, their offer was way low—$200 when I was hoping for $500. When the driver showed up, the car was stuck in gear with a locked steering wheel, which I get is a pain to tow. Instead of waiting a few minutes while I tried to fix it, he just left. Later, they said the car was impossible to pick up because of street conditions, but another company came the same day with a bigger flatbed, took it no problem, and paid $500. Lesson learned: get multiple quotes and make sure they’ve got the right equipment before you commit. ---

Martin at the auto salvage yard made my whole experience smooth and easy. I needed a few parts for my car, and he walked me through their inventory like he’d known me for years. The place has everything—engines, batteries, you name it—and he helped me find exactly what I needed without any hassle. The team was super friendly, answered all my questions, and even gave me some tips on how to install the parts myself. The yard itself is clean and well-organized, so I didn’t waste time wandering around. The prices were fair, and the parts were in great shape. I trusted them right away, and I’ll definitely be back next time I need something. ---

If you need car parts, scrap removal, or just a clean, no-stress way to get rid of an old vehicle, Westside Auto Recycling is the place. Pedro helped me track down some rare parts for my old car, and he didn’t just hand me whatever—he made sure they were in good shape. When it came time to recycle my car, he walked me through the whole process, and it was done fast. The yard is neat, the team knows their stuff, and Pedro even gave me advice on which parts I could reuse or recycle to save money. I’ve dealt with a lot of junkyards, and this one’s different—professional, honest, and actually cares about doing things right. I’ll be back, and I’ve already sent a few friends their way. ---

After driving my old car for over 200,000 miles, it was time to let it go—but finding the right place to recycle it felt overwhelming. Then I read the five-star reviews for Westside Auto Recycling, and I’m glad I did. Skip made the whole process easier than I expected. He took his time answering my questions about the paperwork, never rushed me, and treated the whole thing with respect. He and Donnie didn’t just handle the car; they made sure I felt good about the decision. It’s not every day you find a place that actually cares about doing things the right way—both for the customer and the environment. I left feeling like I’d made the right choice, and that’s not something I take for granted.
