Via my personal accomplishments following Jesus Christ allowing me to follow my genetics: pursuing my anxieties of genetics alongside: i'm about to put the status quoa to it's factual existence between salvaged part's vs retail refurbished part's and new retail markets; via trying to fix Jesus Christ supplied operational transferred 2004 5.4L Expedition Eddie Bauer 4wd body coding U18 from Oregon to Idaho: while being 75% salvaged yard part's! The same pictures I, myself, uploaded some time back! I'm preparing to fix the prior owners mis-maintenanced 2004 5.4L Expedition Eddie Bauer 4wd to a somewhat rebuilt status just as I have previously done to my LAST 15 automobiles since I began rebuilding automobiles during my time in high school at Borah High school in 1991!
I have been a frequent customer to all Jalopy Jungle locations for years (I drive a lot of junkers). Making junkyard runs almost every weekend is a necessity to keep my trash running. The Nampa location has also had a great selection of different vehicles. Even the cars I'm not looking for are fun to see and poke around in.
It seems like over the last 6-ish months this location in particular has either tried to raise prices significantly or are just charging whatever they feel like that day. Several things I've purchased don't match the prices on the board or aren't even on the price board. They're more nitpicky on prices of little things and want to charge for every individual hose, bracket, pulley, plug, accessory or whatever instead of a single price for a complete unit. Yes, I know every part has a price and should be charged but they're taking it to the extreme lately.
Some things are still a decent deal like complete engines, wheels and tires and some body parts. Unless they slap you with a core fee which seems to be at random.
Service is always good and the trips are fun but for the prices I'd rather drive a few extra miles to Caldwell or just order new from rockauto for a couple dollars more unless I need something very specific.
Very kind staffs to guide and large selection of any auto part.
Large well organized by makers in the same are or row. $1 to enter and to get lists of the similar cars with location. Parts are very cheap.
Love going here and gettin' er done! Most times closing time comes WAY too soon (and I don't duck when the alarm drives by ) but if it so happens that im checking out a minute past closing time, the staff is just as courteous as any other time.

Make sure you clean out your tool bag completely or they’ll accuse of being a thief. If they would’ve just done a detailed searcg when entering instead of shaking me down at the end I would’ve had no problems that guy was ridiculous..
Some really cool old cars there and a decent price for parts. I have a 1989 honda prelude s at home in Washington and I spent a lot of time looking at the previous generation Honda Prelude, one from 1985 in red. It's sad that it isn't on the road anymore but I like junkyards because old cars can often be fixed with parts that still have plenty of life in them. I wish all the old cars a long life that come here for parts. This is the first junkyard I have ever went to and It was cool to just walk around, and take a bunch of pictures of some poor cars that will never run again. I wish modern cars were awesome and easy to repair like these old gems inside this junkyard.
Great time hunting for various automotive parts. Excellent service, Veteran friendly! Have purchased many parts for a variety of vehicles, both domestic and imported.
The EPA needs to make a visit. I was looking for an A/C line on a jeep found 63 vehicles (before I quit counting) with sawzall cuts in the same place near the firewall. A/C refrigerant oil sprayed over the top of fenders. Had to go to Trusty’s and pay the higher price to get one. When I mentioned it to the guys they said not our yard and not our problem. They raise their prices then operate illegally.
People there are awesome, But the inconsistency in prices is what the rating is for. Removed 1 engine and payed 80$ for what was left of the motor. Removed another, same condition and same make 325$ today. You find this out after spending a hour pulling a motor tends to leave a bad taste in your mouth. Pushed the wheelbarrow back outside with the motor in it and left. While I like the people I don’t have that kind of time to waste so will be looking elsewhere.
great place, amazing prices if you can find what you need, but the hours are just horrible in my opinion… 5:30 is a ridiculous time to close, and gives me basically no time to pull parts especially when I have to pick up my kids from school
I'm by no means a regular customer, but on occasion, and rarely I have an hour during business hours to stop into a wrecking yard. It was like many other times I have visited, usually pretty well organized and people were friendly enough. It was when I left that everything changed. All I can say is one better watch the clock because no warning is given to people in yard when this yard is closing. Depending on how much later you finally leave the yard, you may find someone yelling at you and very rudely telling you to drop what parts you have on the way out. My regular job involves needing to stay open until people leave and while I have frustrating nights, there is no reason to yell at customers. I was past 4 pm on Sunday. I can understand cashier tills being closed and the need to get home. Yelling and acting this way to people isn't good business. Check the times because you might even get locked in is all I am saying.
My reply to the response:
I think I am fair in making this experience known with the full admission that I missed the times. People need to get to their families. I too have had to miss time with my own family being at a job past closing time. It wasn't my intention to be over. It is my intention to raise awareness to a deeper problem and that is what warrants yelling and continuing to yell after being informed that they don't need to get angry with someone over an accident. While signs are posted, other yards I have been at have PAs and I have apologized as I do here for being there past the allotted time. I don't have much time to be there in the first place, but I do care about other people's time. Please consider that there are more situations than just that of those who work at a place. I will leave the star and will say the gentlemen that was working the counter was courteous despite the yelling in the back drop. Thank you for what it takes to provide such a service though, I do appreciate the effort it takes.
So I kept my original post but also did my update on the bottom because I am so pleased with the owner. I called Wednesday 1/31 to have them pick up my truck to junk it spoke with Miguel he offered me $450 I wrote down then and everything he seemed so nice said they would pick it up on Friday. I heard nothing waited till late called they said oh we will pick up Saturday late afternoon. Nothing I called. The guy who answered the phone was soooo rude said you aren’t a priority we will pick it up when we pick it up I thought wow rude. I called back Miguel answered. He was super nice apologetic and said I’m so sorry we will pick it up early Sunday morning I reconfirmed th e price of $450. Which mind you called other places could’ve gotten $400. They finally picked it up Sunday morning. I came in today on Tuesday the 5th and went to give them my title they wrote the check out Miguel wasn’t there. He so lied to me he only gave me $350 the guy at the counter said tough was rude he said you can take the truck back if you want. Uh I can’t tow it back. Only reason I had to get rid of it is I don’t have anywhere to work on it and the resources to do so. It’s been great truck and I was on a time crunch to get it running. I have worked with jalopy jungle for many years and never been treated so badly and so rude. They got a truck that needs some things done to it that could be a $3,000 to the right person and I got measly $350. I just want done what’s right and to not be lied too.I will have to say I am now pleased thanks to the owner for personally calling me and talking to me and making the situation right he was so kind to me. I will definitely go back now thank you again for your kindness it makes a world of difference.
Great staff! Had a few questions they were able to help me out with and I got the part I've been putting off ordering. Really one of my favorite places and I could just go there to look at cars and trucks all day.
I love to go here when I get off work early and can looks for parts for my car. It just feels nice to go in and do stuff yourself and leave not hurting the bank too much. Always a good time, and always have a large selection of gen 2 Subaru outback’s for me
Very rude he searched my bag my fiancé and I had taken our speakers out of our vehicle to see if we could find matching ones and he insisted that we were trying to steal we payed 17 plus 3 dollars for our own speakers very rude man! So we smiled and said here keep the 3 dollar tip. God bless you.
Great yard for domestics. Organized front office made everything go smoothly with my visit. The imports aren't as organized in the yard, I would recommend the Boise location over here for imports but I've only been to these two locations.
Its is very clean and organized. You pay $1 at one location and can go into the other locations too. The employees are very helpful and sweet. Especially the new hire. He is very respectful and attractive. My favorite place to go. They have eveything u need there.
I found some of the stuff I wanted. Small stuff like nuts/fuses is included with the $1 entry fee, so that's nice.
The place is huge, use the wheelbarrow to carry your tools, that toolbox gets heavy fast!
First time I came in, was reading the signage and looking for where to go/what to do to get started. One sales staff just stared at us and said "what?" It was really awkward. We had tools and although the signs said they needed to be inspected, they just passed us through. When I brought parts back to check out, was surprised at the cost of the items, but they let us put some back. I then returned a little over a week later to return some parts I didn't use. Slightly more welcoming then, but they didn't mark 3 of the vents last time and wouldn't give credit for those. I guess next time I have to remind the employee to mark all the parts? Not super inclined to do that since these guys are about as friendly as a box of wet rocks. Don't you want repeat customers? Be nice and build a warm relationship with your clients, jeez. The owner's overly defensive responses to a lot of these negative reviews aren't making me very comfortable with wanting to go back either. (Yes, I'm aware some customers lie or are unreasonable, but they can still have some tact...)
This junkyard has great service, reasonable prices, and lots of vehicles to pull from. Wheelbarrows are provided for transporting parts and they offer a sink to clean up in after you've finished working. I've been here dozens of times and have zero complaints about this auto salvage yard.
This is a great junk yard. They have a couple other locations, so if you pay to get in at one of them then you can visit any of the others on the same day without having to pay again. They are usually friendly. When you first walk in they will ask you what make/ model/ year of car you are looking for parts for and they will make you a printout with the details and locations in the yard of any matching/ similar vehicles. They will want to check your tool bag on the way in and the way out to keep down theft, and if you are bringing in an old part with you to match it up they will mark it so you don't get charged for it on the way out. The $1 admission includes all the fuses, bulbs, clips, nuts, screws bolts and light sockets you want. They have wheelbarrows you can borrow for free and restrooms are available. You can buy any part you want, you just need to bring your own tools. The prices are extremely reasonable. I highly recommend this place.
