This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Based on recent feedback, SCV Recycling in Los Angeles, CA scores about 74/100: many praise quick, well coordinated vehicle pickups, respectful drivers, and better-than-expected payouts (several citing top prices). Spanish reviews echo friendly, professional staff. Downsides recur: long lines and scale/yard process changes causing delays; inconsistent pricing (battery payouts, aftermarket catalytic converters); a few trust and air-quality complaints; and hours confusion. It’s primarily metal recycling—several mention only metal, so parts hunting/variety is limited. Overall service-forward, but operations and wait times draw mixed marks.
Recently completed the task of offloading a non-operational vehicle. I had put it off for a long time partly because it seemed to involve a lot of hassles and uncertainties. Once I got past the uncertainties involved in accepting an offer for the car, the actual process of completing the transaction — transfer of title, payment (in cash), picking up and towing the car away — was handled by the personnel of a company called SCV Recycling. All questions were answered clearly and concusely, all promises kept, by real people who were pleasant and easy to deal with. Every step in the process as hassle-free as possible.
Eric was so helpful with responding with an early am text to confirm the pickup time. He was on time and helped me complete the process as it was my first car donation. THANKS Eric! ,1-9-26
Great customer service! Daniel was very professional and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Daniel, he makes you laugh but is very respectful.
Thank SVC Recycling for picking up my car,the driver Daniel was on time fast and very friendly. It was sad to see my car go but I was very grateful for this service. I recommend Daniel he's a real gem of a guy really helpful . Thank you guys again...
You guys are awesome. You did the job quick and you were on time you did this job when nobody else would touch it. I appreciate that so much. I will recommend you to my friends in the future.
Friendly staff here, to be honest. However, this place DOES NOT take copper for recycling. I must've had 15 pounds of thick copper wiring for recycling.
The boss man informed me "we do copper". This busted trip cost me from getting any money for today. As I arrived here at 4:00 pm, to late to go somewhere else before the standard 5:00 pm closing time at most recycling / salvage businesses.
I had a horrible experience with SCV recycling the driver had a 4-Hour window of time to show up not only didn't show up but didn't call I had to call the dispatch number many times to get through to somebody no one returned my calls the pickup was pushed to the next day and still the driver couldn't show up on time... & that's not even the worst of it! maybe they should stick to doing business in LA county and leave into account it to the locals
Had an old car to get rid of. SCV made an offer through Clunker Junker. Great communications, even after a mis-schedule. It happens. Tow driver was nice and courteous. Guided me through the paperwork. Zelle received prior to tow hookup and off she went. Keep up the good comms. That is a strong plus in these days of terrible customer service and follow through. Good job!
Had 2 cars that needed to be picked up today it was a little mission on one of them but Pedro was able to get it with the help of one of our neighbors as well he wasn't gna give up. Pedro was really respectful and determined to get the vehicle out. Thank u Pedro
My wife and I went through them to recycle my truck. My wife spoke to someone on the phone and was told that as long as my car had catalytic converters there would be no issues.
When the guy came to pick up my truck all of the sudden there was an issue with aftermarket catalytic converters. They also left me waiting for hours to pick up the car once the deal was done.
Don’t trust them!!!
Exceptional customer service, excellent communication. The gentlemen that picked up our vehicle were nothing short of friendly and professional. They're highly recommended
What a positive experience! We were sad to see our old car reach the end of its life, but Gabriel (such a sweetheart) came out and paid us on the spot and took her away. Definitely recommend SCV.
The best customer service I’ve received after almost giving up on humanity after covid, hahah. Perla the phone representative an Will the tow truck driver were extremely genuine an really awesome with great fast communication & service. I’d give them a 10/5 if it could, I’m definitely recommending them!! I was not disappointed.. within 24 hours! I called multiple places around the desert an this place was the best at responding an helping me let go of my baby
SCV recycling is a professional business. I arranged with them to pick up my 1999 Saturn for salvage yesterday, they said one of their drivers would be at my house between 5 and 7 pm yesterday, the driver called and let me know he would be at my place in 15 to 20 minutes. He got here, I signed the title and received my agreed payment and 10 minutes later he was ready to go.
