West Auto Wreckers JunkYard in Chula Vista (CA)

I've known David and his family all my life. A Very reputable and honest family owned business. It is one of the best and oldest businesses in San Diego. It's a local icon. But unfortunately All great things must come to an end. David and his family are retiring to enjoy their well-deserved rest. So please go by during the week and thank David and lisbet for a job well done!! Street and sons/ west auto wreckers have been a part of southbay for over 100 years. They are very loved and respected,and they will be surely missed.

I use an online site to find a part I needed for a particular car, and it pulled up West Auto wreckers. I showed up in person and I ended up speaking with Junior, told him the car I was looking for and he personally let me take a look at the car overall. I told him what I needed and he had someone come and pull the part for me right away. I managed to walk out of there with a few parts than what I originally intended and I was extremely happy with my purchases. Not only are the staff very friendly but they're very helpful and personable. The prices were extremely fair I would definitely return back for anything in the future. Great solid staff and friendly environment.

Had a motor replacement on a 2001 f150 last December.Took them 2 weeks to find out their motor had a cracked block. They got another long block from L.A. Took another 10days to finish. Ended up costing $3000.00 because I had to purchase a new intake manifold. Next day after getting truck back engine light came on and motor was leaking coolant. Brought it back left it 2-1/2 days to get serviced. They apparently tried to tighten hoses and water pump bolts. Got it back still leaking with engine light on. Took it to another shop and replaced water pump, camshaft sensor and 2 hoses for another $450.00. Still leaking slightly and engine light on. Took it to my regular shop and they said it needs a camshaft synchronizer replacement for $535.00. Asked them more than fairly to only pay for half the repair. They unreasonably refused and said bring it back. They couldn’t fix it when I had already taken it back. Why should they be trusted again? Today I discovered they overfilled the oil by one quart and engine oil was leaking from the drain plug after taking it to mechanic again. I will now have over $4000.00 in this used motor and several weeks of frustration. Never ever have any mechanical work done by this incompetent wrecker. You will regret it. To repeat DO NOT HAVE THEM DO MECHANICAL WORK. YOU WILL REGRET. THE WARRNTY MEANS NOTHING. I should write to the bureau of automotive repair.
