Loved this place! I called 100s of salvage yard looking for a front left hand window for my car in 3 different states and no body seemed to have and parts for that car! However it is a car that I’ve never really seen many of. But I called them and they told me they could have the glass in a week! Great costumer service!
Loved this place. Reminded me of when I lived on the farm and went to these places all the time. They even have cats there!! I was going to pick up a steering column and the gentleman carried it out to my car and put it in. Now, where in the world do we find nice people like that anymore? Right here I found them. Thanks ya’all
Great service and great price always have the parts I need
There was some miscommunication about my order at first but they really came through for my boyfriend, baby and I when they set us up with an affordable alternator. Their shop was the best price for the part we needed out of the ten or so places that we researched in Des Moines.
I wish there was a zero star rating to describe my experience this morning. Yesterday I talked to Jim about some accessory brackets of a 351W and he wanted me to come look at the parts to make sure they were correct as I am looking for specific ones. He said parts were pulled first come basis, so I drove 2 hours from Waterloo to get there right when they opened. Jim was not there, so I was helped buy another parts guy. He was around 30 yrs old with a beard. He told me where the engine was that was in an E350. I went and took a look and came back and said I would like all the accessory brackets, water pump pulley, and crank pulley. This is when he started to get rude. He told me that is a lot of work and flat out said he will not pull the crank pulley as it is too much work. He then asked me if I have ever pulled one myself, which I found to be very unprofessional to test me like that. Also, a crank pulley is only held on by 4 bolts, so not a big deal at all. I then said never mind then and I will just take the power steering bracket and pump. He asked how much how much I wanted to pay and I said I have no idea, what are your prices for everything? He chuckled and then I said online it showed 50 for the pump and he said 35 for the bracket. I then asked how long it will take to pull the parts and he said, ” A long time.” I asked what is a long time and he said maybe this afternoon. I then said forget it and I am not giving my money to a salvage yard that does not what to pull parts. I took off work and made a 4 hour round trip for this. I was also wanting to buy an F150 seat and some Bronco from beams that I saw while I was looking at the engine. You all missed out on several hundred dollars because of one parts guy. I will also not waste my time ever going back. I was respectful the whole time and I was treated like a hassle. I do not recommend.
