Schafer's Iron & Metal at 2869 Jamestown Ave, Rowley, IA 52329

Honestly, the place is decent to deal with—close enough for us, and the people are alright. The only pain is the parking lot. Getting in and out with a trailer is a nightmare, and I’m always nervous about popping a tire on the way out. ---

Scrapping my car there was quick and easy. No hassle, no surprises—they gave me a straight-up fair price, and that’s all I cared about. ---

I don’t even bother selling to other yards anymore. The owner—can’t remember his name right now, but whatever—he’s solid. I’ve sold him five cars at this point, picked up a couple LP tanks from him too, and when my Honda crapped out at Casey’s, he came and got it no problem. Guy’s fair, no bull, and that’s all you can ask for. ---

Drove in with a trailer full of scrap metal yesterday, and I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about the unloading. They’ve got this big hydraulic arm, and I’ve seen guys wreck stuff with those things before. But the operator? Dude was smooth. Watched him unload two other trailers before mine, no issues, and when he got to me, he handled it like it was nothing. Not a scratch, not a dent—just careful, steady work. ---

Needed a big dumpster and two junk cars hauled off, all within ten days. Told the guys at Schafer’s upfront I was on a tight schedule, and they were honest—they said they were swamped and couldn’t guarantee it’d happen that week. But 48 hours later? Dumpster was on my property. Filled it up, called them to haul it, and the whole thing was done in six days. No excuses, no delays—just got it done. Schafer’s, you’re alright in my book.
