I've bought parts here multiple times and have had a good experience each time. They offer a 90-day warranty with most parts. You can see the price of the parts on the website before you get there. Some prices are higher than new prices and some are great deals. I've bought something and walked out to the parking lot and realized it was broken. Walked back in and got a refund. Most things I buy the warranty with. I had another experience where I bought a master window switch. It worked for about a week and then stopped. I took it back and got a refund for the price. Just note when you look through the website look at the date the vehicle came in. If it's only been a week you have a good chance of the part you needing being there. If it's been 3 or 4 weeks then the vehicle has probably been stripped.

Overall, it’s not a bad junkyard, but they don’t accept returns unless you purchased an additional warranty. Even if you come back the next day and realize the part doesn’t fit your vehicle or turns out to be defective.

Instead of dirt they laid lava rock across the entire yard. So you might want to look for some floor mats or rear cargo carpet to lay on. If you ask for a vehicle your list print out might be out of date. I had five Cherokees on my list and four of them weren't even in the lot.

BEWARE OF THEIR SCAM BEFORE SPENDING YOUR VALUABLE TIME AND $$$$. They won’t pick up the phone but instead all the recorded messages send you to their website to see what parts they have on hand. On their website you search by the make model and part name. It comes up that they have the part (in my case a rear bumper and step bars). So I rush down on my first day off and walk in. The lady pulls up the vehicle in their system, gives me a quote for the part I want. Satisfied with the cost I paid my entry fee ( mandatory to walk out on the yard). I go and load up all my tools and make my way out to the vehicle that I was interested in and it was stripped already of all the parts I was interested in. So the scam is, they lead you to believe they have the part with their “fancy” website with lookups for parts, then charge you an mandatory entry fee to find out they don’t have what they claimed to have. Why can’t businesses just be honest with people these days?

They sneak a 30% up charge on everything and call it a 90 day guarantee, without asking you. I can see needing it for maybe electrical parts etc but not say window glass or a piece of metal bracket. I never noticed this until yesterday. …
