Cheapest parts around by far and most if not all are pulled for you. I've gotten quite a few parts now over the last few years and always a great bang for buck, a couple parts looked like they were pulled and stored outside but I didn't care as they were for a derby car and like $20 vs $100s everywhere else and everything has worked both derby car parts and parts going on cars I care about

I called about a part I needed. They told me they would have to go out in the yard and see if it was still on the car. They called me back within 30 minutes to confirm they had it. The price was good and the said they can ship it to me as …

Fast, friendly service! My repair shop declared my car dead because they couldn't find a critical part. A friend referred me to Wandel and within an hour of my phone call to inquire about a part, I got a call back saying he had the part off the car and in his shop. Price was very reasonable! Thank you Wandel, you literally saved the life of my VW Beetle!!

Very polite and helpful to get me what I needed. I appreciate not paying the crazy amount for a simple part. I live local and love to spend local, especially when they were so helpful. Thank you for your hospitality.

Not helpful at all. Asked for a power steering rack and all I got was a immediate dont have it, think it takes longer to search a catalog of cars and parts they should have documented. Another website claimed they had it. Nevertheless …

Wandel's has what I need when I need it. I've gotten parts here for years, today needed a battery and they hooked me right up. Very reasonably priced. Bonus points for having dog on site!

I called for a part, he checked and said he had it. I drive there early the next morning and he checked again and said he didn't have one. Wth? This dude has destroyed the favorite junk yard for miles around. I remember pulling parts there when I was a kid and starters were $15 if you pulled your own. It was always hopping! Management changed and the prices went up and the service became a joke! For a good junkyard go outside ionia county. Not to the north! Try east. It'll save you time and money!!

This place is a joke I called looking for a transmission they said they had I called back to verify that they had it so I drove an hour and half just for them to tell me that they didn't have it but I had a good friend bring me there to …

I called this place looking for a part, and the guy was very rude and basically no help at all. Had no way to confirm they actually had the part because they don’t inventory, was obviously not going to spend the five minutes to walk out and check, and wouldn’t even give a price for the part if they did have it. If they want to be rude and unhelpful over the phone, I’m certainly not driving there to be told they don’t even actually have what I need. Don’t waste your time calling this place, and definitely don’t bother going there. They don’t deserve the business.

My van had been acting up, and when people in area wouldn't even help jump my car, I found out from a friend about this place. Reminded me of the shop my dad used to work in. Once I got the battery installed at home, and the van started, I …
