Well organized. More than likely you'll find the parts you're looking for. They have a big selection of vehicles. More good news, they lowered admission prices to $3, they have Military discounts, and I think they may have lowered their prices too. This is a huge plus!

Year ( 2026 ) 5 complaints ! Complaint 1: ( 2 hour wait time ) This location is poorly managed. I had to wait in line for 2 hours. If you value your time, just buy your part on ebay. You have 2 cashiers that are extremely slow, 1 cashier didn't appear to know their job very well, the cashier is heard asking the other employee confirmation of the name of the part, before ringing up the item, which would explain why the line was appx. 2 hours long. Complaint 2: ( Rude employee ) There was a employee who had MANY tattoos all over his body and a HUGE 2-3" TRIBAL STRETCHED LOOP EARRING. I found this employees "TONE" to be very abrupt, impatient, negative, intimidating, condescending, hostile, and unprofessional. Btw. When I used to be management & recieved a complaint about one of our employees, we already knew which employee it was likely about. So im no betting man, but I'm pretty sure management is very aware as to the personalities of all of their employees. Some of my employees strong points was after hour or behind the scenes duties. Other employees were stellar when it came to customer service. A business can always be ran more efficiently. And at times it may be best to put employees in positions or assign them to duties where they excel best at. Free advice. Complaint 3: ( People smoking in the line / and in the junkyard ) There were customers smoking in the line. That is not good for peoples health to breathe in 2nd hand smoke. Also there are people smoking in the junkyard. That is not good for customers that are working to remove parts that are forced to breathe 2nd hand smoke in. Complaint 4: ( Poorly managed location ) So you have a line that I would estimate is 20 cars lengths long = appx. 2 hour wait. You only had 2 cashiers. The cashiers seemed EXTREMELY SLOW. Meanwhile there appeared to be 3 employees by the entrance hanging out socializing not doing very much. Management needs to figure out how to make the line quicker. Imagine 3 employees at the entry/exit just hanging out not very busy while there is a line of 30-40 people, smh. It's more managements fault, I can't blame the hourly employees. Perhaps anytime there's more than 8 or more people, open a new line. Allowing a 2 hour + line of 20-40 people is just a poorly run location IMO. Complaint 5: ( poor value for the money ) If someone buys a part from your location for $50. But they spent $20 in gas, 2 hour commute, $3 entry, 1 hour removing the part, and spends 2 hours in line / if they got paid $20 an hour at their current job/ that means they would have cost them $123 in time, gas, labor, and entry. A $50 part from your location would theoretically cost them $123 in gas, time, labor, and entry vs just buying it from ebay for $80. So now you have a conflux of rude staff & a poorly managed business. It comes to a point, that it's not even worth it for some customers. My advice to any customers is this. If it makes sense to buy a part from Pick Your Part ( Monrovia ), do it. Just deal with rude staff and a poorly ran facility. But if it's a part $150 and below, your probably better off just buying it on ebay. You got to factor in your gas, time, round trip, wear and tear on your car, $3 entry, and the 2 hour line I experienced.

Came here for a discontinued part for my car. I did find the part but it was defective I didn't purchase warranty so yeah my loss. You won't get your money back without purchasing their warranty. When I arrived there I asked one of the workers at the front gate for guidance on the row I was looking for, he just pointed and said behind those cars lol. I was like which cars...I mean it is car junkyard. Not so friendly or helpful staff here, no smiles none had that welcoming attitude, it was all the opposite, then my stupid azz finally realized oh crap I'm at a junkyard lol! So what to expect right The car selection is not bad at all. The cost of the parts with today's economy not bad either. I did find that people deliberately cut A/C lines not sure why people do that, which is the part I was looking for. Overall not a bad junkyard and clean too compare to others. Just don't expect to get friendly and helpful staff at the gate, it's more like walking through a prison gate attitudes lol! Other than that be ready to walk the yard and look on your own with no guidance from staff to point you in the right direction for the car you're looking for.
