**FALSE ADVERTISEMENT** Be aware when purchasing anything from this business!! They had an engine listed for an older pickup truck, when I called to check on the condition prior to making plans to pick it up I was told the engine was in “perfect condition” therefore I made the THREE HOUR drive to Arroyo Grande. Upon showing up to pick it up the associate says “they told you it was cracked, right?” However that contradicts the “perfect condition” that was mentioned to me on the phone prior to arriving. He then proceeded to say “that’s why we’re selling it so cheap” cheap being 1500 dollars. The associate was unapologetic and rude upon being told we were assured it was in “perfect condition” prior to making the long drive and he could not have cared any less. Be aware.

I can't say enough good things about this auto salvage yard! I stumbled upon this salvage yard while searching for parts online, and I'm so glad I did. The online inventory is accurate, and the in-person experience was even better. Friendly staff, fair prices, and quality parts make this place a winner.

I had a fantastic experience at this salvage yard. The selection of parts is impressive and the prices are unbeatable. The team there went above and beyond to assist me. A definite go-to place for auto enthusiasts

Bought an engine on Jan 03, 2023 from these folks. I drove 4 1/2 hours to get it. The motor was guaranteed to be good. The person who was to install the motor for me while I recovered from back surgery backed out on me, so I’m having to install it myself. After replacing gaskets & thermostat to eliminate leaks, while bolting up the torque converter to the flywheel, (while still on the ground) the engine rotates by hand 1/4 turn, stops with a loud tick, and will not rotate any further. I’ve made 6 phone calls today alone, and no one answers. I also sent a Facebook message and so far have gotten no response.

Wasn't thrilled with the treatment of their customers. It wasn't just me they helped, but a few ahead of myself. So I watched them treat them as if we weren't their bread and butter, but as an inconvenience. I really wish that companies such as this would understand one thing. If it wasn't for us buying your parts you wouldn't be here to treat us in any way. They have ok pricing on their parts. I will do business here again. Because they do have a lot of stuff. They aren't greedy so that was nice. It could have been worse I am sure. I do recommend them. Just hope they start treating everyone equally. **I must say I went back and they have gotten so much better! The cost of replacement glass is unbeatable!! Keep it up guys! Well on the right track!

Quick to answer the phone, the employees are helpful and fast, and they took my auto parts and scrap, no problem! I will recommend Max Auto salvage INC to anyone looking to part ways with junk cars/auto parts!

They charge me for a transmission that they said they had in stock a whole month went by and then they said they don't have the transmission anymore. It's been two months now and they still haven't returned my money. They are scam artist. Be careful

Bought a transmission from them with a 90 day warranty, transmission failed and call back before warranty ended. They would not call back or try to solve the issue, note I'm a repair shop now losing money because they wont back up their warranty service. I had to fix customer vehicle and wanted to see if I can get at least part refunded $80 dollars , but they said they couldn't help at all. I wouldn't recommend to anyone check out review that tell you the experience customer have had

My Partner Frank needed a tail light assembly for his 89 Honda Civic. After several tries thru a repair shop in Atascadero, he was referred to Max and called. Ray said he was sure he had the part in good condition. So we drove down with a day's warning and sure enough Ray had the part and quoted the price and the cost of them installing it in the car. The price was fair and It worked fine. No animosity at all from Ray or the guy who installed it. No feeling at all of any racial problems since we were white. Everything was very business like and done without wasting time. I looked in awe at the huge forklift picking up a junker and bringing it to a shop, and stayed out of its way. Our visit was in June, 2015

No proper response from Rep guy RAY. The only thing I can really say about this place is just how negative of an experience. I called them 3 times, and all 3 times was so incredibly rude. Very short with me, when he mis-spoke, raised his voice at me like I had done something wrong. So buyer beware; you may leave with the part you wanted, but there's a good chance you'll be in a worse mood than when you call. I don''t want to give even a single star.

I called ahead of time looking for a bmw hood. I was told no problem they had a few. When I arrived and asked again I was told to look around in the back. After 45 mins of climbing over cars so tightly packed together I rarely saw ground I asked again and was told they didn't have any... Walking to my car not only empty handed but 3 hours and half a tank of gas I'll never get back

Bought a part for my Pickup truck it fast and with no problem. They helped me looked for it and take it off. They were never racist or mean like most people say i would recommend them any day.

I sold my Honda Accord to these people. A few months later I get a renewal notice in the mail because they never registered the vehicle. Then we get a call from the Police Department that the vehicle has been found abandoned on the side of the road. We now have a huge headache to deal with. Absolutely horrible! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

Went here to get a transmission and after installing it realize that it wasn't 100% operational so call them up and they said no problem and even though my receipt said no returns only yard credit they still refunded my money. Seems like a great place to do business

Worked with Alex to see if they had what I needed, then got my parts delivered in good time!!

Don’t forget to submit a Release of Liability when selling a vehicle to these (or any salvage shop) folks, because they just might turn around and sell it to someone else. That was never mentioned at time of sale. Anything traffic-violation-related could happen and it’ll be billed to you since you’re still the registered owner!

my wife was in a bumper to bumper accident in which I needed a specific part of the interior side panel. I called max auto and asked if they had the vehicle and if they could cut out a specific spot for me...they had no problem cutting it out, it took less than 15 minutes...I payed with a check and they were really nice to me...I notice some people said they are racist but im white and they treated me fine.... not very talkative but im not there to conversate....max auto salvage treated me great,

I called looking for a back seat. Ray said 'Dude, you gotta come check on it yourself'. I said 'I'm 400 miles away. That's not going to happen'. He hung up without a word. I'd go back and try someone else there, but given the other reviews I'm not taking my chances here.
