What a great place. Understood the needs that I didn't need perfect but I just needed a part. A little nostalgia for me for those of you that remember junk yards AKA salvage yards this was a walk in time. Prices were exceptional parts were as I needed and great customer service. I will definitely be back.

Larry personally went out of his way to help me find a matched suspension bolt for my Hyundai Genesis. His kindness and service was the best I’ve seen in eastern Tennessee! After all that, he didn’t even charge me. Highly recommend this place for their knowledge and service.

Great customer service via text after online inquiry. Though the online parts system was a little confusing to navigate, at least there was one. Disappointed that drop shipping was so costly considering they were going to be shipping the part in anyway, as the difference is only a technicality.

I needed some wheels and tires and these dudes hooked me up with brand new Goodyear Wrangler HP tires off some spares and I put them and the rims on my van and it was the best deal I've found in 54 years of my life!!! They hooked me up before with Michelins in '22 and they always seem to come through for me.
