This is the perfect place to go if you need parts. You can get what you need as fast as you can pull the part. The best part is if you are unsure how to take your vehicle apart without breaking it you can figure it out at jalopy where it doesn't matter if you break something. May as well break theirs than yours. I mean why destroy your nice parts over some hidden screw or something right?
We’ve had great experiences at the Pick-A-Part junkyard in Caldwell. My husband and I visited last Saturday and were able to grab two much-needed parts for our 2003 Excursion Eddie Bauer Edition — a like-new armrest (not cracked!) and an ABS system part. When we went back today, the 2003 Eddie Bauer we originally pulled from was gone, but they had other vehicles available and we were able to find a new brake adjuster too.
The guys at the registers were super friendly and helpful, and the whole process was easy. The facility is clean, organized, and the prices are really reasonable. One thing to note is that kids can’t go into the yard unless they’re 16 or older, but otherwise everything has been great.
We’ll definitely be back — thanks for the awesome service!
I flew to the place to get a back windows i was told on phone it would be 15 cash get the windows and the guy at windows says 30 I said no its 15 that's what I was told on phone he said 30 so out to my purse I have like 26 go back to windows he say 30 no less .I will never come back again came clear from parma just to be turned away I needed that windows bad shame on you .So it was on Sunday I had called Garrity but went to blvd
Both of the gentleman behind the counter were very friendly and answered all my questions. even though I thought that somewhere ridiculous. They gave me a recommendations on how where what when and why to fix my truck
Call asking about a roof vents plastic part dude on the phone rushes me and told me I should Google search it even though I had already done that and I'm not trying to spend $700 on a new plastic part for a $900 RV my van have a vent and so I asked if any vehicles they have have a vent on the top extremely unprofessional and snarky
Don was an amazing guy, helped me with everything I didnt understand and then some. He was pretty sweet and explained what part of the car might help with my issue aswell. Great guy and great junkyard, very easy to navigate aswell as use. Definitely coming again.
Online hours say 9am - 4pm ( yard admission ending 30 before closing ) got told to leave at 3:20 after spending over an hour pulling parts. Went up to pay for my parts at 3:27 and was told i could not pay due to them already closing their tills. Still had MINUTES remaining before 3:30 and was left with having to leave parts that i took hours to remove. This place is a joke.
A bad experience made good in the end.
I've been doing business with Jalopy Jungle for 25 years, and usually it's great, but today was an exception. I spent the entire day today pulling a bunch of parts at the Caldwell yard. At the end of the day I hauled my parts up to check out. Sales guy rang it up and told me the total. I asked if he could break down the prices for me so I knew if there was anything I could do without.
Guy got very defensive, telling me he wasn't even charging me for the starter or water pump or any other accessories on the motor I'd pulled. I pointed out I'd removed all the extra accessories and asked which accessories I had that would be extra. According to the display board, all the parts attached to the engine were included with the price of the engine. The guy then said if I was going to be that way, he'd add on costs for things like the intake manifold and other parts that are clearly included with an engine.
I told him I obviously wasn't going to pay for those parts separately, and asked him if he could just break down the prices for me like I'd asked so we could get the transaction done. He refused, and told me that he would not sell me the parts. He told me I can talk with the manager tomorrow if I want. So I guess that's what I'll have to do.
Very displeased with this guy's lack of professionalism. Equally annoyed that I'll now have to drive back to Caldwell from Boise to get the parts I spent all day pulling just because this guy decided to go on a power trip.
UPDATE: I spoke with the manager, Jason, who apologized for my experience and invited me to come back out and complete my purchase. When I got there we talked about what had happened and he assured me they'd work to do better. That says a lot about a company. People are going to make mistakes. What really matters is how people respond after a mistake. Thanks Jason.
The staff are always friendly they have a good fit of employees that enjoy there jobs. I know working out in the weather sucks and I give them props for giving me the opportunity to be able to pull my own parts at a fair price.
They advertise returns for credit within 60 days. We went back in the alloted time frame with the receipt, a picture of the car tag where items were removed, and they reviewed us on the camera.... Yet they refused to take item back because apparently they were too lazy to leave the hut to mark the part with orange. Very poor implementation of policy compared to many other parts yard on the west coast.
Update: they now accuse us of declining their marking process. We did not know about this process, because it was not offered or indicated. Very unethical gaslighting! Store credit would have been very easy and they are destroying opportunities for long-term customers. From their website, there is no mention of marking parts:
What happens if the part does not work or fit properly?
If the part you bought does not work or fit properly and you return it within 60 days of purchase, we will either exchange your part or give you store credit. There are no cash refunds.
It can be difficult to find the right parts and sometimes the screws/bolts are stripped, but the prices are great and there is an inventory on their website to help you find what you are looking for.
I highly recommend this place for parts.
This place has almost any part you need for a low price, and admission to the yard is only $ 1.00. Same with the Nampa Jalopy Jungle. If you can't find what you need at one, your ad is sion price is good the same day at the other one. It wS too hot today to get what I needed, so I left without getting it.
Went in there to get a glovebox for my truck. The man working there printed off the location in which to find all available vehicles. Found the correct part, price was good and went home and installed it. Part was in good condition and everything turned out well!! Would recommend
Went in recently to look for some replacement seats for my 2000 Chevy Silverado. I used the inventory search ahead of time, so was able to go directly to the candidate cars. Was able to find a nice pair on a 2000 Suburban, slightly lighter tan than my existing ones, but look great.
This one in Caldwell is way better with customers and their service than the Garrity location that I have to say they seem to be more caring and honest appreciating your repeated business with them. I sold my car there just a while back, they gave me a pretty good deal for it they'll even come pick it up for you if you can't get it there yourself. So if you're looking for parts I recommend jalopy at any location for the parts you need at a discounted price.
It never fails this place always has the parts I need and the crew that runs this particular shop is always on point polite and easy to get along with. They are helpful but also efficient. Its best to call ahead and make sure they have your rig at that yard but if not they can tell you which yard in the area does have it.
It was just what I needed to get my mind off of things and get outside of my own mind, The brisk autumn air felt good as I tried my best to work a wrench and a ratchet, happy to lend a helping hand. The prices of the used parts were decently priced. I don't usually get my parts from the jungle because I like buying new parts when doing maintenance and upkeep on my own car. It was pretty quiet there. The best way to learn how to do something yourself is to do it yourself. It felt good to feel useful for a little while.
Place is great. love it the hag behind the window not so much. Spent 2 hours in the sun pulling a power steering pump for my truck got done went up to go pay for it the lady wasn't in the office she was in the parking lot working a deal with the car with another woman well they started walking back up the lady was in line with me I asked her how much they offered her for her car since I have a similar car that I'm looking to get rid of the lady behind the window lift out told me I couldn't get my part she wasn't going to sell me anything and started the ripped my tools through the window like I'm trying to steal something it's like lady I brought the part up here to purchase it I'm not trying to steal anything stop treating me like I'm a thief I'm not sure what this is all about but it seems to me like me inquiring with another customer about selling my card and then would be good business isn't that what they're in selling or buying cars business anyways she was very rude and abusive language towards me embarrassed me in front of a lot of people she should be fired
I'm a girl and I love this place! I have so much fun going with my husband. You can almost always find the part you are looking for. The people who work here are very friendly , bilingual ,and very helpful! I would recommend this place to anyone
Pay $1.00 to enter and let your treasure hunting begin. I was able to pick up a pretty nice set of wheels to put snow tires on. At a fraction off the cost that new would be. They have wheelbarrows you can use. You need to bring your own tools to take off the parts you're wanting.
I have a 89 Mazda 323 and they were asking $200 for the transmission the car is simply not worth it. I bought the same trans (was upgrading from 4 speed) 3 years ago from All Hours for $69. Guess I'll put the 4 speed back in. Ridiculous. Other than that it's seems to be a fine place.
I love coming here. I come with my wife and we get bits and pieces to fix our van. The guy that works at the front is pretty cool and friendly. We've felt so comfortable and welcome here that it's kind-of a whim, and one of the cheapest dates ever. I'm lucky to have a wife that will go with me to do that stuff, but I am also happy that Jalopy Jungle is so well run and close to us.
I would recommend this place - just make sure you know the rules and you will not have any problems. Don't ask for exceptions and wear shoes are the biggies.
