In October of 2021 we called this company to what we thought was to junk a car that needed a repair to costly to want to keep. Quoted over the phone $750 dollars. We drove the vehicle to his business location. Where he proceeded to try and tell us the catalytic converter was not the original and basically tried to say car was worthless. It was very clear that we were being lied to by the driver. However we did not want the liability of this vehicle and settled for $320. This is not where the story ends. Last week we got a notice that the vehicle we gave up to be junked, was left abandoned on a street in Dolton. Which means this guy really made out like a bandit with this vehicle. The person who answered the phone I had to ask him multiple times for his first name, but his voice, it was all to familiar it was the same guy from a year ago. Be very cautious using this business, take pictures that he takes possession of the car, be sure to mail back the Seller information to the state. This guy sold this car, I am guessing without a title. Because whoever took possession of this car, never registered it. The man told me he would call me back, did not verify he had my number, and when I called him back, he told me I never sold him the car.

I had a terrible experience trying to return a bad engine today. As soon as I walked to the counter. I asked (Von) as he calls himself. If I could make a return on my locked up engine. He instantly looked at me. And said do you have a receipt? With a face as if I was bothering him. I said yes and he viewed the receipt. Then says the warranty is out of date isn’t it?. Then he realized he was off on his days and it was still covered. Then says let me see the engine. I showed him the engine. He told me to wait while he went to watch the cameras. I felt like I was being played against the warranty I was paying for at this point. 15 minutes later. He comes rolling out to my truck. Basically glances at the engine and says yea I can’t return this. I asked why he said that paint doesn’t look like mine on the engine block. I then tell him to possibly check the vin. He looks at the engine walks back into the little trailer. Comes back out. Hands me my receipt. Then basically says. Im not returning the engine. The vin doesn’t match the car. I was very confused at this. I asked him if the engine could’ve possibly been changed at some point in the car that I pulled the engine from causing some vin to not match. That I’m not sure if he even verified. He tried everything under the sun to not refund me for this blown up engine. If you want great service go to 111 Salvage. They treat you with respect and not as a criminal. I will be pushing this issue further!

The worst recycling company I’ve ever used please please do not trust this yard and the salesmans. They are all shady they sold me a transmission I paid $1,580 the shop that installed it, stated the torque converter didn’t work. I called the yard they told me the torque converter, which is attached to the transmission. Is it under the warranty? Come to find out the whole transmission was bad they told me they won’t warranty it because it’s out of warranty. Keep in mind this car never left the shop, because of the transmission they sold me was bogus. I’ve been in business for about eight years and I’ve never seen a junkyard. So unprofessional, that wouldn’t work with the customer and sell you bogus parts and the. stand behind it. The worst customer service Ive ever had in life. my father always said if you buy cheap you’ll pay twice I paid 3 times because the shop had to install a bad trans and now I have to find another trans and have it installed

Tried to get someone on the phone to check vehicle mileage (was not on website) because it’s a 30+ min drive for us and would be a waste of gas and $ admission to go and check ourselves. Was hung up on once and when finally got a representative on the phone, was told this is the “wrong” line for the question and then the line went radio silent. Incredibly horrendous and lazy service. I am incredibly disappointed as I usually had ok experiences in person. Edit: if your phone system is going to prompt customers to go to your website instead of actually helping your customers, at LEAST have all the information on the website.
