Central Avenue Auto Parts in
Detroit (MI)

If you want to be treated like trash and feel like an inconvenience, this is your place. I've tried a few times and still have yet to be treated like a normal person... I wonder how these yards stay around

Great friendly service quick for pick up trusted provider

Very neat, small junkyard. Friendly management, clean store. One of the nicest used parts stores I have been to around SW Detroit! I will be back for more parts for my Caprice wagon.

They picked up & bought my car & paid a good amount too. Would definitely recommend selling your vehicle to them. Quick, painless, and flat out easy!

If I could rate zero stars I would. My truck was set to bought through carbrain by this company. This company sent out Roger, a tow truck driver that is not a licensed mechanic to pick up my truck. He told me my engine was bad and refused to take the vehicle after an offer had been agreed upon before he ever arrived. He was rude and disrespectful! I wouldn’t recommend this company for anything!

I bought a couple of parts off of an old Dodge 400, I called them and they had my parts ready within the hour! Good prices too. I found out about them by using parts-search.com, they were the only yard in my area that carried a Dodge 400 and I am very pleased with their service.

Absolutely love these guys when I need parts for my shop I always go to them thank you for all your years of support

Very rude customer service payed for a part said it be ready in 45 minutes we'll the 45 minutes turned into a hr

Junk car removal 50 minutes north from this place! Here’s why I used them -he has the market advantage because he provides pickup and pays on the spot. I called 15 other places and NO ONE provided pickup. So, instead of paying a tow truck company $75 dollars up front for 5 miles and arranging transportation to follow to the junk yard and driving back etc. etc. headaches (this WAS my best case scenario) until I got a hold of them and I got a slightly smaller offer WITHOUT paying for towing upfront AND getting paid on the spot when he got here. End of the day, I got MORE money (because the towing was free) and no headache. Oh yeah, top notch and very friendly customer service. It was quick and painless. Thank you so much for making it 1000 times more simple out of 15 other places!

I made a purchase for an engine from them through ebay. I ended up communicating with Jack over the phone and let me just say - This is by far the best customer service experience from any retail store that I have ever had. They stand behind their products and are extremely helpful if you have any sort of issue. Give these guys a try!

Good easy, communication and nice driver. Helped jump the car so I could access the trunk before they took it out. Scheduling was quick and simple

Beware of this place. Before buying they will guarantee you that all parts have 90 day warranty but if you come back later for any reason the part is not as expected (which is 100% on them) they will tell you the part is 100% good and they won't accept any proof of it being bad and will charge 25% to take it back. Very shady business stay away

The guy was very helpful and since the front bumper for MK4 had some damage on it he let me have it for free 1000/10 customer service definitely worth a call for your automotive needs

Great experience with this company when we had an emergency and needed someone to buy our car and tow it away. Offered us highest dollar amount and paid immediately. Showed up on time and very polite and helpful. I forgot to remove the license plate and he called me as I drove away and was able to turn around and get it! All in all a great experience and I highly recommend!!!

Purchased a liftgate from them, they were very friendly and pulled the part while I waited after I inspected it to make sure it would fit my needs. Great service! Would definitely go to central avenue auto parts again!

Jack answered all our questions and helped find the wheel we needed after car hit a deer. He sent us a picture of his wheel to be sure it was right one.we were pleased and Jack sent me an invoice to pay thru PayPal. He shipped wheel immediately and it arrived today. We are very pleased with the service and Jack. It’s good to know people still take pride in their work.

It was the best of the best treating the customer and they have everything that you need thank you for your service

Every time I need something for my cars, I now think to call Roger or Jeff at Central first. They always work really hard to help me find what I need, then always give me a fair price. I appreciate the way they treat me and always make me feel like I did Good! They are Polite, Professional, Courteous, and Always Exceed My Expectations. I do not live close, but it is always worth the trip. Thank you Guys!

Found this shop from car-part.com They were the only place that had the specific wheel that I was looking for, I called them and they had it ready for me when I came to pick it up 30 minutes later. Already got the it on my car and it’s all good, price was good too!

I had excellence service with Central avenue Auto parts I recommend other people to shop there I will be shopping there in the future also they have a very pleasant staff

The chat did not work after trying twice. Called Monday afternoon and was able to secure the wheel I needed. Was sent a bill by email and paid it after they had closed. Wednesday morning the part arrived and was as advertised. It was less than Amazon even after adding shipping and core costs. Will use you again in the future.

I went there looking for a transmission for my son’s car. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful, the pricing was more than fair also. I highly recommend this multi generational family business over the big chains- a real staple in the community!

I priced a part for $75 I arrived . They tried to charge me $100 once I got to the store. They are in ethical. They have prices listed online and they tried to accuse me of changing the price as if I’m some hacker. Petty over $25 extra dollars. I do not recommend. They are dirty the place is dirty. They lack customer service. They are very rude and thieves go anywhere else but here even it’s a few extra dollars it’s not worth the disrespect.

Bought a refurbished starter for $35 plus $5 core and tax. A new one was $140. And just put $1000 into fixing other thing's. So the price was a life saver for me. 90 day warranty. It is being installed now so I can't give a quality at this time. It was rated an A by them. Expanding on my review the starter was installed and still working as it should. Added a star do to this.

I thought they did a great job. The driver showed up right on time and when I didn't have the paperwork the original site said I didn't need when I actually did. The driver came back the next day and brought me to Secretary of State to get the paperwork needed he probably waited about an hour and a half. Every time he said he was going to be someplace he was there right on time. Extremely friendly knowledgeable I can't say enough good things about the driver came out to pick up my car. I got a price which was about what I had actually expected. They paid me cash on the spot. If I ever need their services again I won't hesitate.

Very unprofessional staff. Will certainly TAKE your money with a smile, and if there is any problem will TRY to manipulate the situation in that they will not be responsible. VERY ARROGANT at that point. I certainly would not recommend ANYONE spend your hard earned money with this company. And as far as being in business since 1929 ?, Im sure the founding members had better customer service than the people working there now....

Bought a part from them off E-Bay, part went defective, made us pay to ship back then blamed mechanic, it was professionally installed. I am out part, labor Plus return shipping, very very shady people that care nothing about there customers and reputation. I assure you mechanic did not cause part to fail. I would buy else where, Also made numerous attempts to resolve problem before writing review. Left me no choice
