Mike is great!! Was willing to work with my crazy schedule and towed my car away for free! Ended up getting a better deal with him than other places in Ames that charge for towing.

Tony and his coworkers were a great help purchasing parts for my upcoming project. I at first told them the wrong part, which they pulled and had ready for me, but they had no issue refunding me the money and supplying the part I truly needed. Great team and super helpful. 10/10 would encourage people to get used parts here!

Although you might expect a pretty rough experience surrounding a metal recycling center, Bell salvage has consistently provided good, friendly service. The location isn't pretty or clean, but what would you expect from a salvage yard? Even in the yard, the staff has clearly provided information and been friendly. Plus, it's always nice to leave someplace with a little extra cash in your pocket after getting rid of some unwanted trash.

Salvage yardClosed now 4.5 70.9 miles

I have had multiple starters and alternators rebuilt here, and all work great. Much more affordable than buying rebuilt from parts stores. Almost always same day service and my money stays local ,rather than going to a non local corporation . They also have a good selection of good used auto parts. I like dealing with fair and honest local small business owners. Go see Denny to get more for your money.

Drove 3.5 hours one way to pick up a motor and they had it all set aside, cleaned nicely and ready for me. By far the nicest and most professional scrap yard I have been to. Will definitely get more parts in the future!

Salvage dealerOpen now 3.3 85.9 miles

Called to see if they had vehicles on the lot for a specific year range. They confirmed that they had several. Told them what part I needed and they said they didn't inventory it but he would ask someone about it (its a rather easy part.) I offered to email them pictures of what I was looking for and they weren't interested. They called back 10 minutes later and recommended I contact the dealership (for a 2000-2005 vehicle.) Basically they didn't want to actually go to any of the vehicles they had on the lot to look for the part. I offered to go search myself and they said no. Guess I'll go Seek help from their competitor in town. I'm sure they don't have a problem actually looking for the part to help a customer.
