American & Import Auto Recyclers

Prices are reasonable and they’ll even pull the parts for you. I have bought parts for my own personal and work vehicles as well as referred many of my customers to this business. Although you’ll be getting «used» parts, most often the price is much more affordable than buying new. I usually speak with Shawn or Ray because of their vast knowledge of parts and vehicles. They have great customer service and do their best to make people happy. I do suggest however that you bring your vehicle (and/​or the part) just to be sure that the part you are picking up is the correct match. I have worked with other salvage/​recyclers here in town, but have had the best experience overall with this company. I have referred people to them for the last 11 years and plan to keep referring business their way for years to come.

My wife’s car needed a brake light assembly (which had been broken in parking lot recently– not her fault BTW) With the cost of new parts, I thought I’d make a few calls and see if I could get a salvage part from another car. I called several «recyclers» and was quoted prices and given advice, but after giving the gal on the phone at American the specific year, model, make and the fact that this assembly was mounted on the quarter panel I was told that yes, they did have one and was quoted a price about 30% less than a new one.
Excitedly I made the trip out (about 20 miles) to the outskirts of town and went into the office and repeated what it was I needed and that I’d called the day before and was told they had exactly what I needed. The gal did her computer thing and said, why yes, they did have it but that it wasn’t exactly the same, probably wouldn’t be an exact match and that it was from a vehicle one model year different than mine. I agreed to go and look at it and was taken out in the back of the large salvage yard and shown the part. It wasn’t a match at all and my effort, gas and time was completely wasted.
I’m not sure why a business would do this. I guess some folks would put a mismatched part on their car, but I think this is the worst kind of business practice (bait and switch?) and frankly discourages people from patronizing places like this. This kind of thing does get around, but maybe it doesn’t matter to American Auto Recyclers.
I recommend you avoid this place at all costs. You’ll be much better off.
