Family owned and ran business! Amazing and helpful people to work with! Please give them a try if you're into selling scrap!! Plus, the day I was there, they had a Bulldog they had rescued and when I say the dog was amazing, I mean, it's impossible to stop petting it!! I believe his name is El Chapo! A++++

Go here if you love waiting over 30 minutes to talk to someone when you're the only customer there. I had a good experience here the first time I went, so I thought I'd try them again. I scrapped a vehicle here when they first opened and was satisfied. They were friendly.<br><br>Would have given them one star for today's experience, if I hadn't had a good experience there the first time.<br><br>I went today and waited over 30 minutes for them to tell me they aren't buying any aluminum, weren't interested in the iron/steel, after I mentioned it and showed them, and told me they'd have to make a call to a copper scrap buyer and see if they wanted what I had. It seemed like a whole ordeal, with more waiting, after I already waited 30 minutes. The woman seemed uninterested, so I left unsatisfied and won't be back. There are quite a few other scrap yards in the area.<br><br>I will say, she was nice, but left me wondering what they are even buying at this time. Just vehicles and batteries?
