Based on recent reviews, GOLDEN STATE AUTO WRECKING & DISMANTLER in Turlock, CA scores 76/100. Sentiment leans positive: many highlight friendly, knowledgeable staff (Erika, Mr. Hector), great prices, a large yard with solid selection and often easy part finds, plus extra effort (staying late, 1–2 day special orders). Still, recurring issues appear: language barriers, long waits, rushed/no-call-back phone support, inventory promises that fall through, and some disorganization. Strong value if you’re flexible, but expect inconsistent communication.
Talk to lady from office in the afternoon she stated she had a 2008 Silverado transmission with 145000 in Merced for $500 I drive there man what crazy experience everybody driving a forklift like crazy drivers ripping cars apart ignoring customers and by the time they acknowledge your there they worker said they sold the transmission for 800 and that they don’t have it in stock to go to Turlock to be honest I don’t trust there business they look like there buying cars not running and guessing the mileage and if they even run go look for your self it’s a crazy place buyers beware
I called on Saturday 10-26-24 for a dodge dakota 2005 they said they had the part and they even posted the pictures of the truck on facebook marketplace. I also live 2 hours away and I came today at 10-28-24 and they told me that ig they didnt have the truck they didnt have any at all so i told her they told me they had it thats why I came. The lady spoke spanish and the other lady spoke English and the lady who spoke spanish said the new secretary answered me and I guess Saturday was her first day like bro really made me waste my gas and two hours. And when i got there i also told her i needed to get a part for the truck and she said yeah go check. So instead of wasting my time looking around i could've looked around for more junkyards and made calls to see if anyone had the part .
guy name jr you should not be working in helping customers he hung up on me he should be cleaning the toilets in the back not helping or talking to customers. i drove 6hrs to pick up a engine they charge me a 100 deposit the day before and i get there and the engine is wrong. i ask for vin number and they did not have it ask for a picture of the engine they could not provide it i ask for all this a day before picking up the part just to make sure it was the correct part because i know they are two different engines, this marrons sale part's and they do not know that shocking! on top all that i get to talk to lord JR who thinks he can do whatever he wishes NEVER WASTED YOURE TIME HERE. and never talk to a guy name JR he is just plain disrespectful. NEGATIVE STARS!!
Was going to go for a car part until they said well we don’t know is someone is coming for it already and never texted me back just leave me on open you could at least lmk so I can stop trying to go for it it’s not that hard to say no I don’t have it anymore like if I can’t see you opening my message every time
The guys went out of their way and stayed late after 5 p.m. to get us the right wheel and tire for our truck. Great service great prices. Check Golden State first!
Senor Hector is easy to deal with and orders car parts (usually available in 1-2 business days) when he doesn't have them in stock. Quick, simple and straightforward. Recommended.
Excellent service and great prices. If you need parts for your car check here first. They do have the best prices. :). Thank you Golden State Auto Wrecking
Found a hard to find part here. Sellers are open to price negotiations. Layout is simple, no mud or mini lakes to find alternate routes to where you need to go, unlike other scrap yards. Check em out.
