For shoppers comparing junkyards in Rancho San Diego, CA, Kobi Auto Recycling shows mixed feedback: several praise friendly staff (notably Christian), quick turnarounds, correct parts, and even help sourcing from neighbors; others report serious issues—misrepresented mileage/compatibility, bad engines or transmissions, denied refunds/credit-only policies, and tense phone service. Wait times skew positive on good visits; pricing insights are sparse and one engine job became contentious. Yard organization and inventory depth are unclear. Overall: 58/100, with recurring warranty/refunds complaints.
Should have read the reviews before dealing with these guys. Chris flat out lied to me, swore multiple times that the vehicle had 48K miles. I Do some research and tests and find out the car had more like 148K miles, the part is basically end of life. I will never come near this place again, you shouldn't either.
Stay away. Con artists. Thieves. Once they take your money, good luck with the junk they sell you and good luck if they don't hang up on you when you call. Specially Chris. He is a thief.
As of Friday May 3rd 2019 this place was burning on fire!!! Too many wood structures, tires, etc. Massive 70 foot flames. Not enough water in Otay hydrant mains to put a good dent in the blaze. All over San Diego news channels tonight.
I was told they would put a new engine in my car and it would cost $1400 plus $40 for the tow. they notified me that it needed a $200 part which i purchased and test drove it and it continued to do the same thing it stalled on me on the freeway and wouldn't pass 40 mph. yesterday they told me it was ready but needed a new catalytic converter. i had my personal mechanic that previously worked on it take a look at it. he informed me and Mario at the shop that it is the same motor and has the same issue. mario then argued and said to come back and he will put the orginal motor in the back seat and that i can take it. today I called and he informed me that i can't take the car at all. Bottom line they stole my car and still have it and won’t give it back. Beware don’t let this happen to you I’m sure from all the complaints I have seen online against these scums that they have done it to multiple poor innocent people.
