Ace Steel & Recycling SD 57703

Reviews paint a split picture. Many fabricators and contractors praise Ace for good steel prices, helpful office staff, and quick service on orders and loading-some note custom cuts ready on arrival and clear tips for truck drivers. However, recurring complaints center on inconsistent or disputed weights/pricing (e.g., items called tin or sheet when customers believed they were steel, catalytic converter and copper payouts seen as low), along with variable customer service-rude or curt yard staff and confusion during drop-off. Hours and access also trip people up; multiple reviewers were turned away earlier than posted Saturday closing and advise calling ahead. Compared with nearby options, Ace is frequently cited as competitively priced on steel purchases and certain scrap categories, but first-timers may find the process unforgiving. Seasoned users who know the categories and communicate before arriving tend to report smoother, faster experiences.
