What clients say about Southern Steel Iron & Metal in Isom (KY)
Watch out for how they grade your drop-off. They downgraded my clean materials to number two instead of giving me a clean number one rate. Make sure you double-check your ticket before you leave. This is one of the 2 places to take scrap off in this area.
I got a price list two days before I by took items off.. No where near paying how much it said on the paper.. rip off.. they don't even show you how much it actually weighs on the scale..
I've always had a great experience all around no matter what I have went there for, whether i had went to sell scrap metal, copper, or to buy used car/truck parts, used lawn mower/ weedeater parts, used tires, tires mounted, repaired, and other. The Used stuff always worked or was in the condition I was told before buying and always bought at a reasonable price.
