Found part on line, called said they would send the lot guy out to check it. They said it was there and it would be pulled and ready for me to drive and pick up on Saturday. He told me to ask for Joe. He found nothing in the system, showed it had not been sold. We both looked through the shelves inside and out but could not find it. They sent the lot guy back out to see if it was still on the truck. It was. Waited another hour for him to take it off. They asked me to go out with him since he was having trouble getting it off. I rode out with him. The tundra was under water to the front bumper, he had not started taking it off at all and to top it off the fender had a large dent with the painted flaking and it had rusted. Why couldn't someone have told me the 2 follow up phone calls that it was damaged before driving 4 hours each way. If you would like to send me the grey flare and mudflap off the dented fender it would help offset the expensive waste of our time.

They had a fender listed as “a” condition and sent photos to me which looked pretty clean. So I decided to drive 200 miles to them since they had the part available. When I got there it was totally different then what they had sent me, the fender was aftermarket and used( automatically can’t be “a” condition if it is aftermarket) it was rotted out due to rust and literally broken due to tire rubbing on the fender from having big tires on. I told them this is no where close to “a”condition and will not pay top money for a damaged, poor condition part. They were only willing to take 20 dollars off. I did not waste my money with them, just my time. Hopefully they don’t do the same to anyone thinking of purchasing parts from them, I would advise EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY!

Absolutely wonderful experience! I had the pleasure of speaking with Janette. With her wonderful southern twang, she not only spoke with me about their salvaging pricing and policies, but we also spoke at length for the pure fun of it! She is truly an amazing human being. I am very happy with my experience. If a company can keep such a personable, caring, and funny person around, you know they are doing something right.

Super easy and friendly people. Wish I would have called sooner! Had a car sitting in the driveway for 2 years dragging me down. It became an eyesore. I called 4:30pm Thursday, they gave me a quote over the phone, and it was gone Friday during the scheduled appointment window. Was paid in cash the same amount quoted. Lisa, Sue, and Brian made the process simple and painless. If you have a car you want gone give them a call. You will feel a lot better and have extra funds to boot.

Working with Car Brain, they put me in touch with these jokers. We scheduled a pickup of my old vehicle for today, and nobody showed up. No call. I left work early to meet this time slot offered (last avail for the day) only to never see or hear from anyone. This is one unhappy dude. Update- I was able to schedule the pickup. They basically insisted they DID calk me 6 times, left a text message, etc. I never saw any missed calls or got a text message. Usually if I make a mistake, I apologize and move on. This company lied to save face. Enough said.

I purchased an engine and transmission from them. Installed the pair, and the transmission was bad. I had to remove the transmission and get a refund for it. I am out 10 hours of labor, fluid and programming cost. Car it came out of was wrecked in the front hard. They replaced the broken trans pan when they pulled it without notifying me. I know this since the TCM under the pan had a large chip taken out of it and the fasteners were out of place. That was my first and last purchase from this place. Reply from Town and Country Response: What a strange, and totally false response from you. I personally installed this transmission being licensed by the State of Michigan as a mechanic for >20 years with automatic transmission as one of my certs. Trans was installed using Mercon LV fluid, cooler was flushed, transmission adaptive shifts were reset and the solenoid shift strategies were programmed into the PCM utilizing a Cardaq J2534 connected through FJDS to Motorcraft website. It was installed 100% by the book. The transmission was aerating fluid you sold me, I believe its from a broken internal filter or a bad pump. I have attached pictures showing how hard the car was hit Town and Country Pulled it out of. This transmission should have NEVER been sold in my opinion. You can also see the TCM cracked if you zoom in on the left upper part of the trans. You can also see the aerated fluid in that same picture.
