- Gaile Kraus (5/5 stars):
"Needed a Subaru side mirror. The dealership wanted $445, but I got one here for $100 and had it installed for another $100. Saved $245 in one trip. Quick, cheap, and no hassle."
- w trujillo (5/5 stars):
"Called every junkyard in town for a part—nobody had it. These guys did. Now I always start here. No more wasted time."

"They don’t just have parts—they get parts. Every time I’ve been in, they’ve had what I needed, answered my questions, and even shipped things fast when I was in a hurry. No headaches, just good service."
- D F (3/5 stars):
"This place is… an experience. One guy dug through parts like he was hunting for treasure, another acted like I wasn’t there, and the counter guy never looked up. Then the steering gear I bought was missing a bolt. Not a great first visit."
