This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Based on a small recent set of reviews, Area Material, Inc. in Kankakee, IL trends positive overall—80/100. Customers praise helpful staff, a clean, accessible yard, and transparent pricing; one noted they confirmed the transaction and were willing to return metal if mistaken. Downsides: several reports of rude or dismissive attitudes (including during flatbed delivery) and refusal to hold specialty items. Inventory variety, part-finding ease, and wait times aren’t well covered, so uncertainty remains. For most scrappers, value is strong, though consistency varies.

Flatbed delivery. Be ready for "hey, yo buddy" ATTITUDE, because they think that they are your owners while you on-site. I doubt that they talk like that to the mailman..
Thought I was getting ripped off but they went out their way to show me that I wasn't! And I appreciate the honesty cause they were gonna give me my metal back! Excellent place of business
Went there and scrapped my items recently. Went in office and getleman was rude to me. I asked if i could leave a flyer on what i buy if they get it in. Told him i would pay double scrap rate. He simply said no we dont get that in wont save it for you. I take my scrap to RVR, acme, or belsons based on where im at with scrap material. This Area material is a joke and hope it closes like the previous company that had the yard.
