    Got a great deal on a set of alloy wheels for my Volvo. Staff was always friendly and helpful. If you need a part, check Rathe's first. You may be able to save some money.

    No point in going if you want to pick your part for a decent deal. You can get alternators, starters, etc from LKQ online for almost half of what Rathes charges. They used to be like Costco for me. Go for a couple items but end up getting 10 things, which in turn, makes them more money. 2 stars since I think you're still allowed to drop off your own scrap metal.

    I’ve used Rathes Salvage for over 10 years to get parts that are normally over priced. I’ve been here with friends that need rear ends for a pick up or I e even been there to get a wiper motor or even a rear door for my Jeep. Anything you want they normally have it. If your mechanically inclined you can just about grab any part you want. The employees are straight up honest and so are the prices. The cars will get crushed regardless so why not make a little money from the parts they do sell. Bring your tools because you will always find what you need at Rathes I’ve been here in the dead of winter or the middle of summer and never once been questioned about what I was doing. You just show up and tell them you want to see what parts you can find and you explore the acres of vehicles and guaranteed you will always find something you can use. I would recommend this place to everyone and anyone with common sense and tools if you want to save a ton of money. I actually need to go here soon to save myself hundreds of dollars on leaf springs. Everything is a deal.

    Reviews make this place look bad because the people writing them are the same ones who can’t make their own coffee and are completely reliant on others. They can’t bother to drive down and figure it out, they call and want everything done for them. They’d go to the dealer and get sorted but they don’t have the money. Machines and cameras take over because people rely on them. You have to go out and do it yourself, or you’ll be having amazon package airdrop while you sit in front of a screen watching it bring you your eggs. Rathe’s is a playground. Go play

    It's a classic pick-n-pull salvage yard. It is what it is, you grab the parts you need and they charge you some nominal fee depending how they're feeling (usually it's quite low). They have a lot of SAAB and Volvo. If you are prepared to go in and get your hands dirty, and maybe you're like me and don't want "help", then this is your place for used automobile parts. If you want service, then go to the dealer. The staff at Rathe's stay out of your hair. You can explore and search for parts unfettered by anyone. I have gone in the dead of winter, because yeah, they will let you dig through snow for that elusive fuel injection hose you just need to have because they don't make 'em anymore.Afraid of DIY-ing a repair because there's no manual and nobody has done it on the internet? Go to Rathe's and tear into a dilapidated wreck to "investigate" rather than messing your own car up. I learned to re-key ignition locks without the factory tools by taking one apart here, then buying it and bringing it home for parts. Bottom line: Rathe's is one of the last true self-service salvage yards, so if you want service, you should probably not be here. If you want free rein in a huge playground of automobile wrecks, this is the only place around.

    You cannot pick parts anymore, you have to call ahead and have them pick it. I checked the website before driving up to make sure they were still open and it makes no mention of the change.
