I have to say this is the first time I leave anything under a 5 star review. I focus on leaving 5 star reviews or don't leave any at all. I moved into the area from out of town a few weeks ago. Being trapped home most of the past week due to the rain, I had a short window of rain stoppage and an excuse to leave the house. I found this yard only 15 minutes away. I'm a car guy having been an ASE Certified Technician for Honda and Nissan/Infiniti for half my career. I really enjoy going on scavenger hunts collecting car emblems as a hobby. Given there was a small window of rain stoppage, I randomly headed to Anderson Dismantling. I paid the entrance fee and was there for about an hour finding a few cool emblems. I asked a yard employee for pricing and he said to take what I wanted inside for pricing when I was ready. This gave me an understanding that there is no set pricing and things are priced on a per transaction bases. With that in mind, I thought there was probably an opportunity to negotiate like many independent yards and businesses. As it starts pouring again, I decided to call it a day and head back to the register. At the same time, a customer is struggling to communicate with the man at the counter whom seemed like the owner. The customer asked if I could interpret which I did. He was asking for price sheet and vehicle inventory. He was looking for a Jetta headlight. I helped interpret to the customer that there is no price or inventory list. He will need to locate the vehicle/part, remove it, and bring it back to get a price. I continue putting my items out for pricing. Besides the 6 emblems, I found a couple Geo Tracker parts (side markers & interior trim) for my buddy as a favor but my focus was on the emblems. I asked for pricing and was told $75! which is way more than I have ever paid for similar item's. Most junkyards/dismantlers charge around $1-$5 per emblem. Regardless, this review is not about the pricing because at the end of the day, it's their yard and I can just decline to purchase. The issue is that when I said, "Thank you for letting me check out your yard but I will pass" he raised his voice and got very hostile. He asked then "Why I went to spy on his yard and that he will be loosing money now due to these removed parts" Which doesn't make sense because he had just told another customer that I helped interpret to "remove the part he wants and bring it back for pricing". What if that customer doesn't want it at that point either? Since he couldn't bully me into buying his items, he got upset and said I was costing him money. At that point I once again respectfully told him I didn't want the items. In my mind, I'm not going to be bullied into buying his items, especially as his price. He asked what I wanted to pay and I told him originally around $20 or so but even after he countered to $50, I didn't want the items anymore because I didn't appreciate the hostility. He got more upset when I asked why he was raising his voice and being rude while I never said anything disrespectful nor raised my voise once. Quite contrary, I still thanked him for his time and stated that I was just trying to negotiate in good faith. He said that this was no place to negotiate. I said that was fine, it was my first time here and I didn't know. I will add that It's funny how I didn't even get a "Thank You" for interpretting. I didn't expect it but respect and kindness can go a long way!
In all truthfulness I would of offered as high as $40, as $20 was just my initial offer. When he immediately got that upset and became hostile, I lost any eagerness to further negotiate in goodwill and I think anyone would if they were pressed with questions such as "why are you here spying on our yard"
This is a fair warning to anyone that doesn't believe the many 1-Star reviews. Thankfully I don't need any of the their parts, but can't imagine how some people are treated if they feel this place is the only one stocking what they need.
I challenge the owner or person I dealt with to reply to this review if my facts are wrong!
This place is a joke! Don't waste your time! The new owner wants to charge new prices for used parts. He has no parts price list it's whatever he feels like charging you. He tries to search your pockets of your pants and is very rude and unprofessional! Pretty sure there is alot of oil being dumped in the dirt out there somewhere! I highly recommend taking the 30 min drive to rancho and saving yourself money and the headache.
They have the opportunity to really make some money and take this WHOLE area by themselves… there’s no other yard like this out here. But the owners are lazy, they don’t categorize or keep any type of inventory of what vehicles they have, and they lie to you saying they have multiple of the vehicle you’re looking for just to get you to pay for the yard fee. Doesn’t make any sense, you have to keep track of the cars for legal purposes anyways… so just make a damn website and track the inventory of what you have man no one wants to be lied to just to walk around a junk yard in the sun for not a single thing they’re looking for.. “yes we have multiple of those cars” show up and there isn’t a single one LOL. Great opportunity that the owners are blowing themselves. Will not return unless I hear they’ve made some real changes to how they run this place. Damn shame. I was VERY excited to come here. Will just stick to pick n pull! Honest up front pricing ! They wouldn’t even give me a price, so how am I supposed to pay? What a joke.
They just say they have vehicles in stock to get you in the yard and charge their $2 fee. Didn't have ANYthing even close to what I asked about and they said they had several. Another guy shopping at the sane time as me said they did the same thing to him and he only found one car. They have no idea what their stock is and don't check.
I highly recommend this company. The driver who picked up my car was so kind and helpful...professional...honest....absolutely the best possible experience!
I work at 4:00 in the morning and for you guys to be sitting here doing whatever you're doing at 10:00 at night sitting here here in cars being moved the beeping of the truck backing up or whatever it is backing up it's becoming ridiculous it's 10:00 at night go to bed if it doesn't stop I will be filing a complaint with the county

Im not from town and I was looking for something quick and in my budget . They were very kind and didn’t try to over price me because I’m a women!!! Definitely recommend!!
I've been going here since I was a kid with my grandpa,and my dad and countless trips with my cuzzens. They have or had everything we needed at the time.last few times I've been out there tho I know the cost of living has skyrocketed but I've sold them old cars before I'm lucky to get 150 dollars for the car if it's in good shape all the windows exc.now when I go to buy a part it's over 20 dollars for anything .I'm not saying it's not a good hassle but cut a guy a break once in a while .oh yah and you have to pay to go look also so I like the place just wish they never sold it to the new guys
Usually the Perry route people they don't know anything when you ask for something then make you pay $2 to get in end I don't have any tent what you're looking for they never have the car or they don't have any parts the car that happened and stuck
I called looking for a certain part and was told they had one, when I arrived and paid the entry fees I walked the entire lot and was not able to find the vehicle that they claimed to have. The only vehicle that come close to having the part I needed was off limits. Guess they will get your $$ one way or the other. There should be a policy if you are unable to locate the part you need and you make no purchase, they should provide one free entry pass.
Nice people, bring your own tools & call ahead if ur looking for something specific. Prices decent, yard pretty darn clean Thanks Steve for all your assistance & patience!
I go out there all the time when I need a part and it's so reasonable and the guys out there are great! Always polite and friendly and answer any questions I may have .... Love this place for any car part big or small... Thanks all of you that work there for being the great place you are for all my auto parts
They do NOT know what they have in the yard. Way over priced parts, you can buy brand new online for what you pull out here yourself. Dishonest. Sketchy business agenda. Again, If it's a small part save your time and just buy brand new online, it would be the same price if not a bit more to get it here and pull it out yourself. Sucks this is the only place in this area, maybe someone else should open a new one!
I always get treated with respect. Noone bothers you while your hunting for the car and part you need. And the men working when asked for help are right there for you. Good parts yard in Marysville. Keep up the awesome work. A Big Thank you
I was actually there today. Great selection of parts more than half the day front counter guys were really professional and nice. Going out to the yard and the gentlemen that was working the yard wwnt above and beyond he put the truck on stands so i could get the parts i needed. If you live within 50 miles. This is your one stop junk yard.
They are local and friendly and that is the most helpful think I can say. I have only been out there twice so this is based on those experiences. Selection isn't great. They have a lot of cars, but most are already completely stripped or have unusable parts. What they do have is priced higher than I am willing to pay for a pick & pull situation. If I want to pay that much I will just order it brand new.
Ok first off it's definitely NOTHING like its previous owners!!! Trying to find out if they had a certain part on a certain make of vehicle you had to go see Though they had an electronic invoice of if they had that part or not!!! Then they have their own private stock of inventory, for another additional $110.00 they'd go pull the part out of their inventory. Really!! So that makes the "USED part the same price as buying it new. From an auto parts store.. song get me wrong tho!! There's it's upside of going here though, there's cool finds and great little treasures to which leads me to KNOW they obviously aren't concerned with What's inside a car that's being recycled!!!!!!!
If I could give NO STARS I would...horrible customer service, outrageously over priced, and rude...they only stay in business because there is no one else in the area...I wish someone would open another junkyard in the area....these guys would go under...I was told they would treat me even worse because I was a women...and boy oh boy i speechless...i realized Imy original part had been accidentally (or so I thought) thrown in the trash BY THEM when I returned for it they tried to sell it back to me...horrible place...
Go to Oroville they are AWESOME and cheap and polite and respectful...
GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE...with the low prices for parts everywhere else and with cost of gas you still actually save a few bucks...crazy but I priced it...
Very very pricey and not that much of a selection. I guess they figure they can be because they are the only place around so they price gouge. Bought a small bracket and they charged me $3 for it and I mean it was small maybe 2 inches long by 1 inch wide.
Spoke to Tom the owner and he was extremely Rude when I asked basic questions in fact he thought it was appropriate to raise his voice. I would never visit this facility for parts. Since my call I've been told that there is no exchange on defective parts, and every part that was picked up at this location was faulty. I'd give zero stars if it was an option 1 star is to generous.
Came in a bought a.c. controller since mine went out the unit didn't work so I went there no one is friendly owner just looks like he is have a bad day the whole time we were there. We found and bought the part it didn't work and the failed to mention that there is no exchanges I mean how are u going to sell used parts and not have a exchage policy and rip u off while your at it. DON'T GO THERE TAKE THE TIME AND GO TO PICK N PULL the have exchanges and are nice people
