I called ahead told them what I was looking for, and when I got there they had the correct part pulled sitting at the desk waiting for me. I will definitely be coming back.

Bought a transmission from him and he had it ready for me to pick up. Easy transaction, no hassle. Installed transmission and still running strong.

Terrible place to do business with. Had a truck towed to the for a rebuilt transmission and a bad oil leak. The owner Ronnie would never call me with a update. Every time I would he seemed to always be out. If I did catch him answering he phone he would just delay me. My vehicle sat at his shop 6+ months I’m from the east coast so I could not afford to tow it. I finally showed up to take me truck. They acted conformational as if I was doing something wrong? I ended up fixing the oil leak outside there gate in about 2 hours. Something they couldn’t seem to do in 6+ months

Elderly owner had a very punchable face, and an aggressive attitude that invites conflict.. Poor work, and poor salesmanship.. Middle School vocabulary, and mechanical skills to match.. It may be wise to assume anything coming out of this yard is a death trap, and keep your distance. Buyer Beware and/or bring your boxing gloves..

They get a 2 * only because it's one of the better looking salvage yards. It is very organized and looks decent from the road (I live nearby).However, their customer service is severely lacking. I called to ask if they have a certain window regulator/motor (they do). I asked how much, and he said $75, and when I mentioned that I can get a new one for $50, he rudely snapped that I should just get a new one then. Alrighty then. I'll stick with the salvage yards in the Northeast area of town.

I went out there to get me some tires that a pretty good selection course they're all used tires not a bad price though of course I found the part I need nice guys out there.

This man was a nice guy at the beginning, then when I went back cuz he had given me the wrong part I had spoke with one of his hands and was told they didn't have it, he told me to go back after lunch to get a refund, I proceeded to find the part elsewhere, when I went back the owner said he had the right part, i let him no since thy told me thy didn't have it I went else were, he refused to give me my money back being he gave me the wrong part to begin with!!! He was very rude!!

Southwest Salvage has been owned by the same owner for over 35 years and now his son helps him keep the salvage yard. But this isn't like any junk yard you have ever seen! It is clean and organized all parts that belong together are and everything is in orderly rows. That do not just get rid of old car parts they can also order new parts at a really awesome price and if they are not backed up with work they can even do engine and body work.

Bought an overdrive for my truck couldn’t find it without having to buy the whole transmission but southwest was willing to sell me just the overdrive. Love this place after a month of looking the part. Wish I knew about this place when I first started looking for it

This counts as MINUS 5 STARS, the people here are straight up bald faced liars, especially a guy named Ronnie who I think is one of the owners, our truck broke down in August and needed the transmission rebuilt and some minor engine work so we had it towed there as he was the cheapest shop with the fastest repair time, jump forward 4 months and the truck was still not fixed, claimed to be hunting a part that we found in a matter of minutes and ended up having to order it ourselves and have it shipped to him as we are in NC, two more weeks and no word from him so we made arrangements to have the truck hauled back to NC and fix it ourselves, the ordered parts we sent him were thrown in the truck out of the boxes, and the truck had sat so long that the batteries were completely dead, turned out that noone had touched the truck or attempted the engine repairs other than to remove the old part, they did supposably rebuild the transmission, at least it appears to have been removed and reinstalled but it is NOT fixed, after we had the truck running and attempted to drive it the transmission is still doing exactly what it was before repairs, I would NOT recommend this business to anyone for ANY reason, and I fail to understand how they are even still in business
