    Derek from Lakeside was awesome to deal with! We had 9 cars and he made it smooth and easy for us. We didn’t have to do anything but point and wave goodbye and collect money 🤘

    Nick was great to work with. The facility has been upgraded since I saw it years ago and they have a great set up for people bringing in scrap! I would highly recommend Lakeside for any of your scrap metal needs!

    WARNING DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR If you have spent much time and effort finding collecting and making your scrap the best it can be for the best price stay away from this place. I had a lot of quality copper and brass that I spoke to someone on the phone about prior to going there separated my metals as he said but it didn't really matter. As soon as you get there the crooks, I mean thieves, oops the workers grab YOUR stuff as if they own it do not listen to anything you say or ask then walk away from you where you have no say and cannot see what the weights are or anything. WHAT A SCAM they put a shopping cart on the scale with my 5 various containers all different sizes and weights and never weighed anything out individually and somehow came up with an overall weight. Then there is the whole classification aspect where you are certain to not get the appropriate grade for YOUR metals. There are plenty of other places to go in town such as element recycling ( go to their website and read the reviews if i haven't convinced you to avoid these shysters) because it will and you will be better off for it. Hopefully this helps someone or many to not get screwed out of something that is rightfully theirs by a bunch of bottom feeding thieves. And if your still unsure ask yourself why would they grab YOUR stuff and swiftly move to an area where you can see or do anything about receiving a fair deal. If there was nothing to hide they would be transparent .

    Said they were gonna show up at 1 pm. Instead, they showed up 20 minutes early and rushed me through packing up my car. Ended up forgetting my garage door opener and car battery, which I needed for my used car I had already purchased

    They really cleaned up down there! Lot's of things going on! Forklifts, tractors, and trucks moving fast! You know, I think they're scraping the World!! UPDATE: 11/19/24- I still think it's pretty clean, but them Amigos in the precious metal building have put a halt to me selling anything to them for any amount! They, for one, don't like to answer you and 2) can't explain anything to you either if you have a question or when they degrade your pile of stuff and paying you for something different! Or paying you breakage because of one screw but not tell you and you find out when your cashing and leaving thats Bullshit they are rude and don't know what courtesy means

    To Nick Jr, Lindy, or Mike: We were referred to Lakeside due to the recent flooding. We have several rail gondolas full of scrap. We had some very general questions. Due to the volume I was instructed to ask for Nick Hanson. We were hung up on multiple times as soon as I asked for Nick. Unbelievable we called back two more times thinking there most be a service issue. But no some young lady is doing her job very rudly. Please hire professionals, whomever that young lady was that hung up on me and my staff just cost you business. Please do better we will be using Alters Recycling we will travel a little further for better service.

    Was quoted $350 for our truck, we said we'd look around some more for prices so they offered us $400. When we drove down there with the truck they wouldn't give us more than $275 for the vehicle. When we said we'd have to discuss that because it wasn't what we were quoted, they went ahead and smashed the truck so we couldn't drive away. Rip off artists. Owner settled finally for $325, less than the original quote. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALER! Should have called the cops and may still do so

    Derek was extremely helpful and empathetic in picking up a wrecked truck we had. His customer service was outstanding and so was the dispatch lady. Will definitely recommend them in the Future.

    Everything was super fast and easy! The tow truck driver was within 20 min of the estimated time. They made the sale in less than 5 min and were on their way. They offered a much better price than other places I called. I’d use them again.

    We LOVE coming here. We have come so much that we know most of the staff and they know us. They are all so kind, they make you feel like you are apart of the family. Brittany is so personable, we smile everytime we see her working! One thing that makes them different from the rest, is they take time out of their day to show their appreciation to each customer by doing something special regularly. We always continue to recommend friends and family to lakeside. There just is no place like it!

    Was referred to them by a friend who has had a great experience every time she uses them unfortunately that's not the case with me. Have had to call 3 times over the course of 2 days for someone to pick up my vehicle keep getting told they are coming and no one ever shows up. Lousy sevice if you ask me. Would give 0 stars if possible! Do not recommend

    Absolute horrible service, asked for the materials tester and was a huge argument. 1st visit, today went and the woman at the window who is always there hung up on me twice when I tried to question the price and grade of the material they brought me. She said they do it all day and know better then I do. I know what I brought in, high grade from Europe, not old sheet

    Those people at lakeside auto recyclers. If you don’t watch them they will rip you off. They tried taking my number one and paying me number two prices. They are a bunch of thieves if you don’t watch closely. Than they change the rules on you in the parking lot. I will go somewhere else where I don’t have to worry about getting my scrap stolen right under my nose.

    They tell you 700 for a car that's fully complete, you bring a car with factory everything complete and they then try paying you 300. Scam artist is what they are. I 100% knew the exhaust was factory and they lied on inspection and said it wasn't. Don't fall for these people.
