Encore Auto Parts and Recycling JunkYard in Jefferson (GA)

Sign says open till 5 Monday through Saturday. On a Saturday at 4 o'clock, they were shutting the doors. Poor business need to change your sign and your website if you're not gonna be open till 5 o'clock like everything says.

I love this place,I've really improved the looks of my truck right out of the junkyard. It's amazing how one man's junk is another man's treasure

All these folks are awesome !! Super friendly and have their Stuff together !!

Rude. Told me they had my model car out there and i looked for quite awhile before calling from the parking lot asking what lot it was in again just to verify and finally gave up and went up there and told him that my car was not there and they acted like it was no big deal to them. They'll update it... Couldn't care less.

A far step ahead of what this yard once was. Recommend going here for your needs long before Pull-a-Part, out any other overrated salvage yards. The dollar entry fee is kinda ridiculous, but still worth the part hunt you adventure out into.

Most of their prices are right on point and they had a decent inventory just didn't have what my husband was needing

It’s all good about this place i don’t like the way the nice webpage but no inventory search.(?)

Closed at least 2 days of their Big 4-day Labor Day Sale. Called on Sunday no answer and no recording; their website said they are closed on Sundays but their Summer hours have them as being open 7days a week. Drove almost 2 hours Monday to get there; gate closed nothing explaining they will be closed on the gate and nothing on their website, except their 4 day sale 9/1-9/4 sale. Also, the signage for the place sucks.

Cody at the little scales is awesome and knows his stuff!! The guys on the yard are always willing to help!! The office has great folks as well!! All around great place!!

The hours shown on website are not correct and I drove all the way to this establishment with a load that was extremely risky and when I got there the gates were locked. Will never do business with this place again.

Since they sold over this past couple of months this place has gone down hill fast. Their inventory sucks and they have gone way up on their prices. They even took out the carts so now you have to use the wheelbarrow only, which would be fine but it makes moving bigger heavy part a massive pain. I think I'm gonna just start going to pull-a-part again, because whatever benefit there once was going to encore is gone. Just a little update. I decided to give this place another chance, but wow have their prices gone way up. You're better off going to pull-a-part or s & w. The only thing that ever made this place worth going to was its prices, however that's gone now.

I got there at 4:10 and they immediately told me to hurry up because they were about to close,when Google says they close at 5,I said Ford f150 2004 and this guy said ,what about it?,I said I need a dashboard part and he said well you better hurry up because we are closing,at the end I just got the driver side master window switch for $27 dollars!I'm only coming back for my money back because the part didn't work.

I used to love this place been coming here sense it was still mud on the ground. The problem now is they sold out and things are alot different now prices are higher. Less older cars. The plus side is more organization universal pricing that you can view online. And a map seems like new staff to. Overall not as good as it used to be I don't come here near as much as I have some better local junkyards near me but I still stop by every so often to check it out.

Awesome selection pricing is a bit on the high side for knick knack pieces a grille for Ford truck $40!! But engine parts and other miscellaneous items great inventory

I usually dont leave negative reviews. But the first time i came here i had a great experience. The young lady at the front desk assisted me, and was very nice. The other one had a bad attitude and acted like i was stupid or something. I just called to ask how much a honda 4 cyl was and she said $200 - $250. And i was asking if thats the price for me to pull it and if that is if the engine is in the best condition she said no and hung up. I had a couple other parts to look up and she didnt even try to assist me. And from other reviews its not the first time this has happened. Someone need to solve this.

Out of all the different recycle centers in the Athens area, I have to say that this one is my favorite. The staff here are all very helpful and friendly. Overall, I get the best prices on all the different types of metals that I take and sell to them.

This used to be the only yard I used. I’d drive 20 miles past 2 others just to go to Jones now I’m headed 20 miles away from here! It’s really gone downhill since Jones sold out. The girls in the scale house are very unpleasant to say the least, it’s almost as if they scoff and roll their eyes when you roll up with a vehicle. I pulled up on the scale at 3:30 exactly at 3:48 I made a circle and left. 2 different employees walked up to the window and looked then walked away one of which was standing out front when I pulled in and made eye contact with me. Very poor management maybe they should pay the Jones to come work a while and train them. Definitely will not be back!

Guy working in yard.nice helpful. Lady at window very rude .she acted like I was not even there. Shut window in my face wile I was speaking to her. She was rude both times I went .i no everyone has bad days .once more and I'll take my and my family's business elsewhere.

Found the parts I needed. I asked for the price, which was confirmed by 2 office staff.. I removed the parts and when I got to checkout was told DOUBLE the price. I offered to split the difference. The woman I was dealing with was rude, unapologetic about quoting the wrong price and completely dismissive. Beware when buying here.

Cleaned out the shed and garage and dropped some things off here!! It doesn’t pay much, but I was happy to get rid of metal and aluminum things. Plus, it’s always nice get a little check!

Great place for recycling metal for extra cash while cleaning up our business park’s grounds. I love the selection of vehicles to choose from for he parts we need for our company and persona vehicles. Lots of good picks. Definitely an abundance of American made cars to peruse. Check it out. The staff, well, you’ll find out.

The "Junkyard". I had collected several old appliances & it was time to dispose. This is the place for this type of stuff. Car Battery, metal, aluminum anything recyclable is allowed here. I've always chosen this place for my disposal issues. Lots of machinery, so small children are prohibited. Good place.

This used to be a good place but now it's ran by crooks. Took a 2001 Lincoln town car in to scrap. I was going to take the wheels and tires off but they wouldn't let me. When I said I would just take it back they said I couldn't. Now all this took place before I signed any paperwork and before we agreed on the sale of my car.

I always take my scrap here best price and usually good people 4 stars because they would not let me across the scale 1 minute late on Saturday 45min drive pulling a car trailer was NOT HAPPY Literally 1 minute I mean come on really!!!

They have always been curtious and they do their best to get you in and out in a reasonable amount of time. The prices are always competitive with other recycling centers. My go to place for recycling

Price is crazy won't ever be back have been coming here for 50 years never again can buy new part for what they charge save your money go somewhere else!!!!!!!!!!!

I have visited this particular place for many years even though they have changed hands over the years. My last visit will be just that, my last visit. I showed up at 845 in the morning to get a very simple part, a headlamp switch, and the door was locked. Keep in mind the sign says they are open at 8 and it was not a holiday, and there was vehicles entering and exiting. I could see a man standing in the office, so I figure I would call and see if they were planning to open. To my disgust I watched and heard this man pick the phone up and hang it up. I promptly got in my truck and left feeling quite irritated.
