12 years ago, I had to move a business that has been in the same building for 32 years, including a lot of things out of the 5000 square-foot basement – as I am not very good at throwing things away(but extremely good at hoarding and keeping things that I don’t need) I was filling up a six yard dumpster twice a week with my wife’s instruction and guidance and help – I was gently trying to explain to her that some of these items we are paying to throw away, we could recycle and we actually could get some cash in the process. She catches on pretty fast, and I created a recycling monster!🤓😂 she now saves cans and other metal objects, throws them in the back of her expensive car and takes them to JB salvage – no matter who the boys are working when she comes, they are always very professional, courteous, and extremely kind and helpful, and I thank you for that! I myself visit both sides, buying scrap metal once or twice a year, buying an auto part or two once or twice a year, and taking scrap metal including jump cars two or three times a year(I drive demolition Derby so of course I will have these items) I feel I’ve always been treated good and when needed, helped, and I very much enjoy Chris, Richard, and really everyone down there – thank you for the service you provide, my wife and I appreciate you very much! ❤️ jolly Dave

The first salvage yard I went to took two weeks of leading me on before ghosting me. I guess they have a hard time saying no to scrapping trucks. These guys I called up at 10am and had the parts truck towed away and had me paid by 4pm the same day. They also paid me a few dollars more than the others said they would.

Attn: they're offially closed today not May be closed.. Simple update of hours or a answering message which is none now would provide more efficient then a Facebook notice to save many wasted time and trips. Not trying be a Richard by any means but not a complicated task to update so will do it for you in respect to others and having done it prior years...

Guy just left with my junk car. He is a serious pro at this. He got his flatbed up my insane driveway, and managed to drag a completely dead Subaru out of the garage at a 90 degree angle. I highly recommend using them!

Told me I would have to pay them 300 to tow my car away. I have never heard of a tow within city limits being above 75 bucks. It was 3 miles. The car isn't even worth 300 because of the rebuilt title and rust damage. How you can look someone in the eye and give that price, I have no idea. Also the website says it's woman-owned. I don't think a single person there has ever even seen a tampon. If I had to put money on it, I would bet that I would have had a much better experience if I had a Y chromosome.

Always a good experience. I don't make it in often, but the team there is always friendly and helpful, which is especially great for us less frequent visitors needing a bit more direction.

BEWARE! DOES NOT HONOR QUOTES! I contacted JB’s Salvage by phone to arrange for a parked car to be picked up. After asking for the details on the car, I was offered $230. I mentioned that I also had an electric lawn mower and weed eater and asked if they would make it an even $250. They agreed. I was told that the next step was to bring the paperwork (NOT the car, mind you, just the paperwork) to their office, followed by “then we can schedule a time to pick it up.” I remember this so clearly because it made me wonder how booked out they might be and how many days it might take to actually pick up the car. When I showed up with my paperwork and reminded them of the phone discussion and their quote of $250, the guy’s immediate response was, “Well, I don’t know about that.” So he was already trying to get out of paying the amount they quoted me. Sure enough, he said they would have to take off $100 to pick up the car, that the $250 was to bring the car to them. THIS WAS A LIE! They clearly knew the car would have to be picked up…otherwise there would have been no reason for me to schedule a time or to bring only the paperwork to their office. I was cheated out of that money and the ease and shamelessness with which it was done tells me this is standard business practice for JB’s Salvage. Filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, as well. Avoid doing business with this company!

After pricing local dumpster rental services for our home renovation, we found the best price with JB's Salvage. They delivered a 20 yard roll-off on the same day, and took great care to protect our driveway and landscaping during delivery. We also recycled metal scrap through JB's Salvage. All of our communications were professional, and their customer service was top-notch. I highly recommend!

Always very friendly customer service. Answer questions without hesitation. The owner or head guy would usually give my son a piece of candy or gum. I also like how he would pay out with special coins, like gold dollars or 50 cent pieces.

Great overall experience! I called mid-late morning on a Monday to get a 30yd dumpster, it was delivered that same day before 4pm to the Bedford area. I called them for pickup and the dumpster was gone in less that 18hrs! They did not spill a single piece of drywall and even took extra care to no get a tire off in my yard since it’s been so wet lately (and my driveway is very narrow!). These guys know their business and I will be using them again for all my disposal needs. But to me the best/most important part was how pleasant and helpful they were on the phone, while also explaining everything from delivery to billing. Thank you JB, you guys are terrific!

They offer the best no hassle prices in this area, and the staff is very accommodating.

They will take advantage of anyone they can who is trying to sell. They will give you the lowest price reguardless of type of metal and will argue with you till they are blue in the face. By the time you get the reciept they have already mixed your items with the rest so its not like you can take your cans back and go elsewhere. When dealing with several pounds there is a big difference between 40 cents and 6 cents a pound

I took my car in to be salvaged. Great people to work with. While I was there I bought some scrap copper wire to make some things. Good price on the copper. I am a happy camper.

New subscriber, only had JB's every other week plan available, so we're giving it a try. Looking like it's going to work out, but today (2nd scheduled pickup) it appeared that they missed my pickup, and at the two week mark it does start to get critical. Their offices were closed (missed by just a few minutes) by the time I made a phone call, but kudos to JB's for having a message on their service informing callers that they were running behind schedule, and to leave the trash out to be picked up later tonight. It appears that JB's understands customer service, and if their message is accurate, knows how to deliver it. Holding out the 5th star until we have a few months under our belts.

the guys seemed nice enough. pretty typical junk yard. They didn't have what i wanted so i don't know what their prices are. i was able to walk around myself, which is nice. it seems less and less allow people to do that

Today I took my old car to JB'S to scrap. They were super friendly and very helpful. Also got more money than I thought I would👍 If you have stuff to scrap this is the place.

I like their inventory, but the guy in the wheelchair Chris, will give u what he says is their standard price with is usally higher than what it shold be sold at. He takes too long to decide on selling price. He charges tax on the junk also. He doesnt seem very helpful. maybe its just his disposition of him being in that wheel chair, but when he is not there other guys there really give u a great deal and act like they want to get the junk sold and gone. If chris was not there I would be back there alot buying parts for my several vehicles.

Every time I have been to this business I am treated fairly and professionally! I drive from Martinsville which is roughly 30 minutes from JP Salvage because I know I will get the fairest deal on both scrap and new stock metal!!

Friendly & helpful staff! Our remodel went so smoothly being able to rent their dumpster. Thankful for a local, affordable business!! Thank you!

JB's Salvage is, in my opinion, the best place to sell scrap metal in the Bloomington area. The offer a fair price for scrap. The price best if you have separated out all the individual types of scrap. If you leave it mixed, expect them to give you the lowest price. After all, then it's up to them to separate it out.

I take a fare amount of scrap metal to JB's but I'm still not a pro but the staff is good about informing me on how to prep and separate the various metals to get the most cash value.

I have went there for 25 yrs and the last few years they have gotten very shady! The constantly take my high aluminum item and price it at sheet metal or long steel prices. So I get hardly any money back compared to what I should get back.

Floyd Foster

This place pays the best price for metal in the area that I found. The service is great and the staff is friendly and very helpful!

Best prices in town they're the only place in town where you can get your own parts off well worth the stop.
