Grade A Auto Parts & Scrap Metal Recycling in
Louisville (KY)

This business is closed. It burned to the ground when the UPS plane crashed into it. RIP the three pilots, four employees, and eight customers who were killed.

It is such an absolute atrocity and a horrible thing that this site will never probably open up again. They were the nicest people that I dealt with in this industry. May other souls rest in peace.

Sean Garber is a great guy who genuinely cares about his employees', my sincerest condolences to the family's that lost their loved ones

great place to do business ppl are very friendly and pay is good to lines are fast just a great place

Fast, super friendly, safe and good pay for getting rid of old junk! Definitely recommend!!

This place is nothing but scammers! They give the biggest run around to get every thing they can to get your money! Then when you've had enough and tell them you want your money back, they hang up and block your number! We used another number to call them back, they told us we had to have money on the card for them to give us a refund! Nothing but scammers!! We will never see our part or our money back! SCAMMERS!!!

I waited for a whole month for my order and after a month they say sorry, my story started a month ago when I came and ordered a rim and that it would come with a wheel and I asked the employee whose name is Pati because the whole story is with this employee and she confirmed to me that the rim comes with a wheel without asking her manager so I paid the amount and waited for my order and after 10 days I was surprised when they sent me a picture and said that my order has arrived and I can come and receive it but the picture is only of the rim without the wheel so I went to check what was happening the employees who work in the delivery department told me this does not come with a wheel go and check with the one who told you it comes with a wheel so I went to the employee Pati who was in the launch and the second employee told me this does not come with a wheel so I told him that Pati told me it comes with a wheel and he went and asked her and she said yes it is true it comes with a wheel so they told me to wait until next week and they will correct the mistake and I waited until next week and after a week I was surprised by a call from the employee Pati and she told me that your order has been here for a week why didn’t it come And I took it and I told her what order are you talking about and she said the rim so I told her but you will order me a rim with a wheel and she said oooo I am sorry I forgot the point wait a week and she did not order my correct order and wants to give me the old order and I waited another week and no one contacted me so I sent them a message and then the employee Pari called me and said to me sorry the rim comes without a wheel after waiting a month because an employee does not know the rules of her work it cost me to wait a month and lose some money because I am waiting for this rim and wheel and I told her I want to speak with the manager and she told me he will call him and he has not called yet I am sorry for the long message but this is my experience verbatim with the employee Pati

I purchased an engine for the second time with a great experience. I worked with Eric. He is very nice and informative. Helped me through the process to the end. Thanks for your help!

Came to pull some parts as i found this place on google maps when I searched " U PULL IT " and they said they dont allow people into the yard eventhough there's a screen inside that advertised $50 dollars all you can carry and there's pictures on google that shows that they are yard where you can pull your own parts .

Terrible. No matter what I would strongly suggest you stay away from these lazy scammers. I ordered an item from them, their shipping policy says they ship within 3 business days. Ordered on Aug 7. 6 Days later, nothing is happening, so I message them asking if they’re going to ship it or no to what they responded that item was shipped but their IT team did not update the tracking number but the item has shipped. I check the tracking number and it was just created, mean they haven’t shipped anything. At this point it’s 7 days since I purchased the item. They don’t do anything for a week and then lie to you like I don’t know a difference between something that has shipped and when you just created a label

A bunch of claims while you’re on hold but in the end just empty words. Typical junk yard. I called them 5 times within 3-4 hours. Each time after being on hold for over 5 minutes it transfers you to voicemail. Way to go

My mechanic informed me that my 06 Sonata needed to go to the happy hunting ground for cars. I talked to Trina on the phone and they sent Austin to get my car and take it away. We negotiated a price they would give me and they were really good at communicating and telling me what to expect and they did just that. It was sad watching my loved car pull away but it was time to say goodbye!

If I could give a lesser rating I would. From Birmingham AL, The new motor I purchased for my 2008 Tahoe lasted almost a year, then I heard a loud knocking one night while driving home. Well it was the new motor good thing it was still under warranty. Sent the Tahoe to the shop in late March. The mechanic removed the motor and sent it back to Auto Zone to receive the new motor. We’re in July and the warranty company hasn’t paid the mechanic for his labor. This is just ridiculous. The mechanic sent the motor back to auto zone, auto zone is responsible for getting the motor to the warranty company and then they are supposed to release the check to the mechanic. The later hasn’t taken place, even though the motor was documented by auto zone once they receiveded it. I haven’t driven my car since mid February because of the knocking in the engine. I would not recommend purchasing a new engine from Auto Zone.

Definitely recommend buying parts and having your car worked on here. My motor blew in my 2017 Altima and I purchased the motor here and they even came and towed my car so they could replace it. Amelia was great at answering questions and returning our calls. We will def be using them again

Staff is always friendly and there to help if need be. I'm always in and out in a sufficient amount of time. Plus Alain is always happy and smiling, which is contagious.

I have been scrapping with Grade A for a few years now and I honestly can't think of one negative experience. Every encounter with a Grade A Champion has be fulfilling. I must highlight the scale fellas, Alan & Adam!! There hasn't been a time that especially Alan hasn't taken his time to show, explain, and teach me the little important things when it comes to sorting and knowing which metals are which. Adam has also showed the same patience and knowledge. I genuinely enjoy going to Grade A!

We have been coming here for years. Of course everyone knows us Carly and Brandy in the pink truck lol. However we did try a new place but clearly that didn't work out just cuz of the atmosphere and how they did people so of course back to grade a we came Alan takes good care of us on the precious side and Chuck takes good care of us as well also the ladies inside well everybody pretty much we will continue to keep coming here as long as they're open

Great place I love to scrap here. Very professional and polite people and always willing to lend a helping hand if someone needs it. Best scrap yard in Louisville Kentucky no doubt. Thanks for making it such a fun experience Grade A

Hello to Grade A Auto Parts & Scrap Metal. I would like to give a big thank you to Ashley at the customer service auto purchase center. On or around January 20th, 2025 I started working with Ashley trying to find parts for a car that is in need of repair. First I will say that I have a disability that requires people to go just a little further than normal with or when working with me and Ashley has done this from day one. The patients and continues follow up that Ashley has shown thru text messages and pictures of the parts to make sure that they are insurance quality has been remarkably spot on. We are now going into April and I am just about to wrap up the need for Ashley's customer service. But I will say that I would be returning to Grade A Auto Parts in the future if needed all due to Ashley's customer support. A big 's up and thank you to Ashley and Grade A Auto Parts!

Needed a replacement wheel after hitting a pothole. Grade A was great. They found the wheel and got it shipped to them for me to pick up. Great communication, friendly service, and a great price. Thanks Nate and Sean!

Grade A is a great company, but behind the great company is a GREAT human in Mr. William Gatti Jr. I have done business with Billy for many years now. You will not only find a great person, but an extremely knowledgeable veteran parts salesman, & what more could you ask for when looking for a used part? He will take care of you from start to finish, & if by small chance there is any issue, he will handle it quickly & take care of you. I would recommend using Billy for ANY of your parts needs & you will not be disappointed.

This was my first time buying parts and Eric Oncidi was the best. Not only was he very thoughtful and thorough in seeing that I got the correct parts. He also took the time to quote others parts I thought I might need. The best hands down!!!!!

I love this place! The staff know what they are doing and they don't mind lending a helping hand. Plus their prices are unbeatable and they don't mind staying open past closing just to assure that all costumers that made it inside their fence line on time get to finish what they seeked out to do for that day. If you haven't been by Grade A please make sure you come and experience it for yourself.

Tennessa is always my go to when I need to locate a used part! She provides a great service from the time she answers to the phone to locating the correct part, informing me of what to expect when receiving a used auto part and estimated arrival. I will continue to contact her for all of my used parts needs and recommend you do as well! Thank you Tennessa for all your hard work! It doesn’t go unnoticed

I have been doing business with grade a for about 3yrs now and Richie has never let me down. His communication is great and always goes above and beyond to find parts. He ships across the country for me. When there are discrepancies or issues he fixes them in a timely fashion.

Had to get on here and give a shout out to Tennessa at Grade A!! I've been working with her for over 4 yrs now. She always has what I need, gets me taken care of quickly every time, and always comes in clutch if I ever have any issues!! Would definitely recommend reaching out to her for all of your parts needs!!

Bill Gatti has been solid as a rock , I've been dealing with him for a couple of years always up front and honest . He is my go to guy loyal fan . Thanks for all you do Mike Thomasson
