Summer’s always got a smile on her face, and she’s *super* helpful. STR is the same way—fast, easy, and no hassle. Five stars, no question. ---

Look, I’ve driven past this place enough times to know it’s a mess. The side road is a disaster—overgrown bushes and tree roots are tearing up the pavement, and it’s *obviously* coming from their property. Someone needs to talk to the apartment owners behind them because this is ridiculous. The roots are cracking the road, and the debris—nails, metal scraps, you name it—is just lying around. I’ve had to patch my tires *twice* now because of this junk. And don’t even get me started on the litter. It’s a fine for a reason, people. ---

This scrap yard is a total scam. They lowball you on every single thing, and they don’t even pay what they’re supposed to. We took a bin there because every other place was closed, and they straight-up stiffed us. Worst experience ever. Don’t bother—you’ll leave with half of what you should’ve gotten. ---

Pulled up with a truck full of scrap metal—pretty obvious what I was there for. No one even *noticed* me at first. Walked inside, four employees just sitting around doing nothing. Had to ask them myself if they wanted to buy it. They acted like they had no idea I was even there. Then I had to unload the whole thing by myself while they just stood there. The carts were numbered, but the lady had no clue how much they weighed, so she had to call around. And the kicker? After all that, they tried to pay me *half* of what they’d quoted over the phone. Not just lazy—they’re straight-up trying to rip people off.

These guys went above and beyond for us. Answered every question, helped us out no matter what, and treated us like family. We’re Hammock Creek Transport, and we move boats all over the country. Couldn’t ask for better service. ---
