STANDARD USED AUTO PARTS and WRECKING COMPANY JunkYard in Worcester (MA)

The lady at the front desk is extremely rude. I feel bad for anyone who has to work or be around this woman! Have you ever been having a great day, but then immediately after saying "hi how are ya, I'm hoping you can help me" then you hear 3 words come out of someone's mouth and your day is ruined? No? Gotta try this place! This woman gets the 'nasty shop worker of the year award' good thing it's a junk yard! Most likely because she has zero customer skills so Friendly's fired her. Just guessing. I went 30 seconds up the street to Sams and was treated with respect and knowledgeable employees. Don't waste your time here.

My friends and I have come here multiple times to get parts for our cars: all early 00's Japanese makes. This place has such a large selection they'll almost certainly have what you need. The staff is very accommodating and let me return a door when I pulled the wrong one! Prices are good and they have some tools in a bin if you forget yours. Easily my favorite yard around.

Every time I have gone to standard they are always polite and extremely helpful! I have had some pretty stressful situations with cars and they always put my mind at ease. I got a transmission from them a few years ago for my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Ran amazingly strong! Would recommend them to anyone who needs quality junkyard parts!! Mike Gleason was helpful, patient, and polite!

Mike Gleason is one of the best. I have been loyal to this place for the past year and Mike has been very helpful and has been pleasant every time. Just dont go in there being disrespectful and you won't be disrespected. Thank you Mike for helping me out when I was a couple of dollars short. You were kind enough to work the price so I can get the part I needed and not letting me waste time to run back and forth. Thanks for covering me until I was able to return (on my next visit) with the few bucks I was short. This place has been a money saver for me. If you need a part, ask big Mike and he will do what he can to help locate the part. Thanks to every one as they have been good when Mike was very busy. Glad I found this place.

Extremely rude staff at the front counter both times I've visited. Junkyard selection is thin and not at all like what's pictured on their site, the cars they do have have all been sitting there for many months. Just go right across the street to Sam's Pull-A-Part instead.

Went in on Thursday and ordered and paid for my part and picked it up Friday at lunch time. Very courteous and you get the feeling like they are not trying to play you. Also had a couple used cars out front that between the prices and mileage , I wish I wasn't in the process of moving because instead of picking up a part I would have been picking a new car. Great place thou.....

Went there today after Sam's didn't have one, wont ever go back again. Kid behind the counter was helpful but guy behind the right counter (owner?) Extremely rude!! Kept making comments under his breath ... for no apparent reason ( I wasn't being rude, just trying to buy a part) Sam's gets $25 for a power mirror, $15 non powered, You take it off (3 nuts). They wanted $75 taken off, $50 if you take off for a non powered mirror... I said really that much? and I explained both Sam's and On Ebay I can get a New powered mirror for under $50. I wanted to do business just lower the price a little and I would of done it, maybe $35 I'll take it off, But that's when this happened: Guy behind the right side talks and says "Then you should buy one on there then!!" Really how rude is that? I'm not lying and why would you even say that?? I said WOW, shook my head and said thanks for the helpful business, as I laughed out loud, I just couldn't believe how rude that was!! Then I said I'm sorry but you just lost a customer, I will never come back here again, that was horribly rude!!

When I mean racist, these people are racist!!! do not ever go to these people. I was met by an older lady and an older gentleman today around 9:50 AM, I just had a few general questions and I was met with “this is not how we do things around here” I was confused they both we’re very defensive at the very first sight of contact with me, The lady even followed me out the store to explain to me that I could not drive my vehicle up to the property when in all seriousness I was just leaving the property! Very confused

I stopped by for my first experience at Standard looking for a spare tire for my VW and was very happy that I did. It was like clockwork from start to finish. A man behind the counter directed me to the tire department as soon as I entered the door. They put together a really nice tire spun balanced and ready to go in less than a half hour. There is a nice atmosphere to the place and a comfortable waiting area with tv. Highly Recommended.

This place would have a 5 star rating but the gentleman on the phone all three times my girlfriend has called has been rude with comments like “o I might have the part” “o my guys will have to dig their way through the snow to get it” “I might be caught up by the time you come down I might not be” that’s not the type of comments someone answering the phone should be saying to someone calling before they drive 80 miles to come get a part she trust this place says she’s been here before and it’s the only place she will go to get parts because she’s been there before and knows how good of a job they do. I just think the man on the phone could have a better attitude towards potential customers especially if they are repeat customers who tell people they know they should go to this place for parts. My girlfriend is originally from Worcester recently moved out of state but driving all the way there, she shouldn’t feel bad about going to get a part because the man on the phone says comments like the ones above.

Worcester street projects blow out your tire, bend your rim... Go to Standard. They have smart people with common sense and top notch helpful to work with. They make your car problem, a no problem! Make sure you say hello to the junkyard dog. Find him on a chair behind the service counter. Used them for car parts before, a hidden jewel is their tire & rims department. Super guy to work with

Call ahead to inquire about specific parts, I've come to this business for years, since I was a teenager, when I need a used auto part. Throughout the years, they have had nearly everything I've ever needed. If they don't have it, they'll give you recommendations as to where you could find said part. They're very friendly, but also very busy, so if they don't sound so friendly on the phone, it's because they super busy with a line of mechanics waiting to pick up parts. There is an area specifically designated to tires, sales, repairs, balancing and mounting. I've had cars with special tires (which usually are very difficult to locate used) and they usually have at least one. If they don't, Sam's or Linders, right up the road will.

You can't just go in to see what's available. Which is what most people going to a salvage yard prefer to do. They want you to specify what vehicle and what part you want. If they didn't inventory it in their system, they'll just say no we don't have it. Yet, not everything is inventoried.

Awesome place. They Guy working today at the counter was very friendly and helpful right from the start. He went above and beyond to help us today. It was our first time going there and I'm positive we will be back. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for parts and or towing.

If you are looking for parts, give them a call. They may have what you want at a fraction of the cost of something new I just found something for $40 that I was quoted 765 for the same part through the dealer. They are quick and do installations as well I'd highly recommend them.

I bought a car from these people for 4300 cash and they promised me everything mechanical is under warranty for a year. I had a problem with my transmission and they supposedly put in a new one with much laziness and rudeness. It's only been about three weeks and my transmission is having problems again. I don't even think they put in a new one. They are a fraud. I'm in the process of filing court documents. This is unfair. I wouldn't do business with these folks.

Called other junk yards price of wheel was $$$ much more. When I called Standard they referred me to tires. Rick was very helpful and courteous. We texted back and forth to make sure we had the right part at 4:55p.m. I called I was ten minutes away they agreed to wait and my wheel was only $65.00! Excellent service.

My thanks and appreciation for the great effort, attention, and service I received from Mike, and the entire crew, in the Tire/Wheels Dept at Standard! My Jetta was a bit of a challenge at first, but they found great tires and pretty good wheels for winter handling on my Jetta, and installed all 4...at a very reasonable price!

AWESOME! This yard did not have a good reputation in the past but wow have they turned things around. Everyone is really polite and really helpful especially if you can pull the part yourself they will try their best to give you a REALLY REALLY good deal. Last time one of the guys at the counter even offered me a ride so I wouldn't have to carry all my stuff back in. DONT go to sams up the hill.. everytime I've been there they are really disrespectful and even the people at the counter don't know their own prices.

NEVER BRING YOUR CAR TOO THIS PLACE!! I had a flat tire and was driving on a donut, I’m a college student and was looking for somewhere cheap to find a tire + rim. I brought my car here and paid for a rim and tire...however, when I pulled my car off of the lot I knew something was wrong with my car. The wheel instantly started shaking the entire time I was driving which it had not done prior to getting the tire + rim from standard auto. I returned the following day to see if they could take a look and see if there was something wrong, only to be screamed at by the “owner” and be told that they did nothing wrong and their employees are fully capable of doing their job...I think not!! I brought my car to a new mechanic, come to find out the internal construction of the tire was completely shifted and there was a belt missing inside of the tire. This is a safety issue and could’ve been much worse had I not found the issue sooner!!

Class act. Made sure part was in adequate shape. Kept contact with me throughout the waiting period . Give them a holler . They have 40 acres of cars chances are they may have what you looking for. Thanks Jim. Your professionalism of over 30 years in the used parts world 🌎 was on full display today.

They were great very helpful had the parts I needed said the guy out in the yard to get the part for me excellent service

Standard Auto has been my #1 junk yard for a long time. Great prices, organized yard, very, very polite workers. Highly recommend over Sams up the street.

Went to have a set of tires put on as soon as i got there and he found out I had 18 inch rims (that most trucks have)he walked around the Bay talking to himself saying i wont do that over and over. Then he told me to pull my truck into the Bay looked at the tires i had and said i can't put those on theres not enough tread but there were marks on the tires weren't even touched yet needless to say i bought tires there with alot less treads in the past. He just wasted a hour of my time because he wasn't gonna do them even if they were brand new. This would have never of happened if Sonny was still there. It's just a shame they hire lazy under qualified employees this will be my last time there and i was a regular in the past.

I found them to be okay, but what bugged me is that the gas tank that I purchased still had all the fuel in it (at least two thirds full) and on top of that I called them to check if the part was available and they said it was, so I took my car went the 40 minute drive only to be told it had to be taken off the car, which would take about 4 days, naturally I was annoyed, I returned 4 days late in my sedan, it turns out the tank was a lot bigger than I had originally thought, but I was determined to get it in, the guys there laughed at me and added a sarcastic "Good luck!" I found that unnecessary, I was mostly upset about the gas though, that was ridiculous.

I had called them asking for parts .the guy said yes he has the parts. He told me to come between 4:00 or 4:30 pm. When I went there asking for the parts he said "i don't have the part yet, i lied to you. come tomorrow if you want the part" I ask myself if I should come back again he is going to lie to me again. So i ended up not say anything just walked out....

Asked for a center seat for a Lincoln town car and I was laughed and they said that such a thing doesn't exist although I explained that there is several in Sams Pull-Apart across the street, I just didn't want to deal with pulling one myself. a few days later the Alternator blew in my 2008 crown victoria police interceptor, they said that I needed to come in to pay for the part before they would pull it. when I came in they said they had the correct part (after stating that it was a police interceptor). a few hours later they called and said they had the part ready for pickup, unfortunately they pulled the wrong part that wasn't even out of the same car. I requested my money back and after giving my a hard time for not stating it was a police interceptor (I talked to 3 different people and said the exact model) they refunded my money. There prices are fair but I cant recommend them to anyone because they treated me like I didn't know anything about the car I was fixing and insisted that a 130 amp alternator is a suitable replacement to a 200 amp with a completely different plug on it.
