Mendoza Auto Dismantling JunkYard in Bakersfield (CA)

Terrible service. Always says they have parts available for pick up and by the time we go pick them up the parts are not in stock, still in the vehicle or the vehicle is crushed. Coincidentally it always happens when im helped out by anna. Dont waste your time!

YOU BETTER NOT TO BUY STUFF FROM THIS DISMANTLING PLACE!!! Drove all the way from LA to get a transmission and the shift tower is not even shifting properly which means you wont be able to shift into gears. Its the same issue as my transmission has and that problem is huge. You dont have to have an engineering degree to know that all manual transmissions shift tower gotta shift freely. They could check stuff like this and not wasting people time and money for gas. They are selling bad stuff and they cleaned pretty good to hide the oil leaks and stuff. Buying parts at your own risk!!!

do not do business with these people. ordered a 1995 mitsubishi GT engine from them. got the engine, installed the engine. would not run. had to pay mechanic $835.00 to get it to run and it had wrong parts on the engine so that seems sketchy. so i was out another $835.00 for repairs, and 2 months income from selling car to move on to my next project. tried contacting them to resolve issue, and heard nothing. now getting a bill from YRC freight for the shipping when i didn't authorize any charges from YRC freight. garbage company to work with. buyer be aware

Bad service!!!! Let me tell you what a roller coaster of experience, NEVER AGAIN! We went to buy an engine at Mendoza's, guy name Jonny that works there treats us good at first. Days later the engine was no good, so we called to let them know that we were returning the engine.. Lady that answer transfers us the the sales person that sold us that engine. However!!!! Jonny's attitude went from polite to extremely rude and offensive!!! 360 switch, let me tell you. Lost 700 bucks for the restocking fee . Should have taken the advice of all those bad reviews that I read previously on google. Lesson learn, 700 dollars out of 3000 that I spend to the gutter. Well, later we went to PICK U PARTS bought engine for around 700 and it runs strong. If the option for negative stars were available, I would have chosen negative 5!

TRASH! I was told they had 3 different parts to choose from they even texted me a picture. I drive all the way there to purchase 20 minutes later they don't even have one to choose from. Don't trust them they don't even check inventory. They say leave a deposit? We called you 20 minutes before we left to get an entire door to a GMC, you said you had 3 doors. Don't make up an excuse for laziness not checking inventory and wasting customers time and money. Pretending you sold 3 GMC doors in 20 minutes? Stop it.

They found the transmission I needed for my Honda and I cant complain about the price because other places were charging me more for labor. My car was ready the next day and ran smoothly no check engine light on and it shifts nicely. The guy who helped was really informative and to the point never left me wondering on anything and im overall pleased with the work and transmission. Thanks Mendoza Dismantling ill be getting more things from this place in the future👍🏼

Awesome place! They have a very large selection of vehicle parts at fair/reasonably priced! The staff was very friendly and helpful! I would definitely recommend Mendoza auto dismantling.

100% recommended. They had the auto parts I needed and that too in great prices and good quality. MENDOZA AUTO DISMANTLING is my go-to place whenever I need parts for my car.

I am a collision center i call them to order parts i spoke to ANNA and Johnny they told me they are in stock they request my credit card information i email all the credit card information and they told me in two days you will receive the parts pass one week and never receive any parts i call them back and they told me they doesn't have the parts they never call me back to inform me about this issue very bad service and no respect to customers

Very organized business ,with excellent service . I arrived 5 min after they were closed and the staff still were more then happy to assist me !

One of the worst place where for any business, I spoke to person "Johnny" on Monday regarding A/C compressor and he quot price at $50 with $10 core, Fine with that but next day went to pick up the part the same item is for $85 and no core wanted. Him saying he cant go lower and its exact off the website. I Also mentioned to him that I was referred to this place by Higgins Auto Parts and them also stating that they have the part for $50 since they all share the same hub for retail purpose. I don't mind paying any price they ask obviously its there item but they need to learn to stand by their stated price not just whatever like at time. YOU CAN NOT BE LYING AND DOING BUSINESS. Need to learn some Business Ethics. Never buy parts from this place, had been going to Higgins and will always be, at least they are sincere and honest in business.

Bought an engine for my car and had a mechanic shop do the installation. They go to start it and it wont turn over because something internally is messed up. I call up Mendoza and they will get me a replacement engine no problem. Okay, I understand things happen. But they will not cover the labor for the mechanic to install the junk engine. It clearly states on the invoice that management can approve reimbursement on labor, but they dont. So, I had to pay the mechanic bill twice because I used Mendoza's.

Johnny went above and beyond getting me the right part. Started out looking for a rear end for a Nissan pick-up on a Friday. He stepped up to get it delivered to me on Saturday (even though they're closed, he made it work). Delivered it to the City of Orange. Turned out the part was mislabeled and was the wrong one. Called him Monday morning, he got right on it and got me the right one delivered to Orange by 1 PM. Sometimes mistakes happen but these guys are on top of things. Great job Johnny. Definitely keeping you number handy! Thanks again!

this place is awesome! All the parts are cataloged they're very friendly and honest. They also have another division that does auto repairs and so you can actually buy the part and they can install it for you if mechanics are available.

Really 1000$ for a used truck bed.... I definitely recommend driving the 30 min out of Bakersfield and getting them for 175 - 250 at literally every other wrecking yard I've gone to.... Ridiculous pricing these sound like they're making up numbers as they go

Ehh. Sometimes they got the parts and sometimes theyget em for u .. BUTTT when they do they are over priced .. ill rather order a new part if its almost same price as the used part that im getting from there..

Brought in a truck to have the transmission replaced, We got called in that truck was ready for pick up. Took the truck for a test drive and the check engine light came on, Brought it back to get it scanned and a plain answer was given “ That has nothing to do with what we did “ Me Knowing that light had not turned on before We brought it in. And on top of that the reason of the light was something they wouldn’t fix there. FIRST & LAST TIME this pace gets my business. So much for customer satisfaction guaranteed.

Needed parts for my crew cab Chevy truck went to LKQ and was very disappointed then my father in law suggested Mendoza’s and have a great experience they had a very organized yard and all parts cataloged. Great prices and customer service I will definitely be going back in the future

They always fix my car right the first time. The employees are always gentlemen and they always answer every questions I have without losing patience as well as stay transparent about the parts and methods they use.

Exceeded my expectations. They had the transmission i was looking for at a steal of a price with VERY LOW MILES ($300+ tax for a a650e lexus transmission with 68k on it out of a 2003 gs300) clean packing because I chose the local pick-up option driving up from San Diego. The transmission was wrapped up, on a wooden mini-pallet wrapped to keep it attached to the board for transporting...... no leaks, no strong trans fluid smells.... couldn't have been happier. Hoping that once the transmission is finally installed by Transmission pros of escondido, that my revision to this post giving a review about the product purchased is the same... so far thumbs up.

Called to ask for some parts, said they had them came from Fresno and when I got there they made me wait an hour to tell me they didnt have them just a waste of time !!

Great service. Staff is very helpful with parts needs. Good prices and they are quite fast. Definetly recommend for used or new parts.

They were very courtious and friendly. They have been the only place in town that has had the parts for my truck. If you need parts for older cars and trucks I would call them first

An absolute greate experience the right part the right price in a timely fashion.thank you.

Very very good customer service friendly and hopefully here found the parts that I needed at a good price highly recommend this place

Friendly and helpful guys .. Keep it up guys..

Great Service, I've been coming here for year's, I've never had any problems.
