Bought a used motor of them and took the throttle body off to clean it up only to find the intake manifold was filled with water. Realized they had the motor sitting outside with snow/water just pouring in the motor and sell it like that, if I hadn't taken the throttle body off the clean it i would had never found out and would had hydrolocked. Need to do better.
I have been buying parts form jellisons for years. Overall they are the cheapest and often I get really nice parts meaning almost new. But that's just the luck of draw anywhere. Additionally the parts can be cheaper than u pull r parts on occasion and I don't even have to pull them. All these people on here talking trash are probably idiots. I litterally own a auto repair business and I'm always happy when these guys have what I need. Could they sell a faulty part? Sure used parts are used. Have they sold me a bad part yet? Nope. But pretty much everyone else has but once again it's the luck of the draw they are used parts and it happens. I was reading the reviews and i can relate with some of them but always call first make sure they have the part on the shelf since they allow self services u pull. Lastly to the guy tripping about a coil pack your a chump. Imagine getting sold a bad motor and transmission and having to pull that out and return it. Abco sold me a few among others. But i go who has it at the time and what's the best deal.
Disappointed at there way of doing things ; they don't know what they have , they tell me about a car the same year and model as mine, so I want a part he tell me 10.00 ,ok ;I get out there, it coast me 2.00$ just to walk in , I find the car, IT ALL STRIPED OF EVERYTHING, NOTHING LEFTOVER!!!. All for nothing really Disappointed, what a joke of a place, don't waste your time at this PLACE.
Paying a down payment for the part is not convenient and a hassle and they should check the part right away if it's usable before adding it to their inventory. Who adds broken parts to good inventory?
Dissembling guy is the rudest person alive. Tall dude with glasses I don’t know why you still work there, If you don’t like your job go somewhere else. Will not do business with this junk yard ever again
Not the same part that was pictured they have the truck that was pictured but I couldn’t see it unless the boss was there. I wish I would have known that before I drove an hour there.
I can't understand how your business service is so bad and still exists. I contacted to buy the item and you informed me that the item was still available and gave me the price, I agreed and informed that I was on my way to pick it up (I drove over an hour), you agreed. But when I arrived to pick up the item, you told me that "the item has been sold to someone else". Your company does business in a "grab and run" way. That's just the service part, what about the quality of the goods you sell??? I think it's just as bad, right? Your business service is too contemptuous of customers.
First time coming here today. I had a wonderful experience knowledgeable and very nice people, prices are unreal, drove 4 hours, i was able to pull my own parts. Parts where great, when I emailed them I received a fast response that's unheard of in the used autoparts world Lol!! Hope to buy parts from here again.
Buyer beware, Jellisons do not stand behind parts they sell. Purchased a transmission and once installed we found it defective, seller took no responsibility as we were 2 days past their warranty. We certainly will never consider products from this company in the future.
Management is some young kid who hangs up on you after selling a faulty coil pack and nicely asked if they have someone on hand to verify test numbers and to come in and exchange item. Not big deal. But some kid who says he's the manager is soft and don't have a clue about what's he's talking about little baby. Go look on youtube. How about if you took coil pack and parts off cars they are tested by someone working there correct? Well yes he says then simply ask them whats up or put them on phone. Do you job. But suppose hard to do a job mommy and daddy gave you because you don't have any knowledge or customer service and can't get or hold a job working for anyone but mom and dad. Was my first time here And last. Other salvage yards in area much better prices parts and people working at said places. Read the other reviews....I should of known better. This business clearly has alot of bad reviews for a reason. Do business with this place at your own risk. I wouldn't recommend.
They sell ok used parts but not before a circus act to pay for it. We are a business with an account, yet they wont accept a check or card from an employee. Obviously there name doesn't match the card but it's a business. But If you fill out a couple page application and get approved they'll run a partial payment and let you play telephone tag. After a few days, they'll let you know none of the parts are good and you're SOL. Save your self the trouble and call anybody else in the area or check ebay. Shipping with a donkey will likely be faster. I have bought engines and transmissions from them and will call them again but only as a last resort..
Helpful staff but the processes are long. Getting a payment submitted then having to look up the amount charged to my account just so they can verify we are legit. All this information is transmitted back and forth through email so we were 2 days before payment was submitted & before they could even go and look at the part to see if it good or not. They were also 3 days out on pulling parts. Then, 3 days later they call back and say the part is bad and unusable. As a repair shop time is money and just felt like the process here is not made with that in mind. Fraud is a terrible thing but so is SLOW service.
weirdest and worst place for buying auto recycling parts / the owners operating requirements for buying one item over the phone with a credit card is like pulling teeth.. they take all your information and then who knows where it goes. My guess is they have an inside scam job working to steel credit card money in the back ground giving it to China or some other place.
give them your info they then charge a small amount in my case their small amount was 138$ out of 600$ then I'm suppose to tell them the random amount by calling them before six however my bank don't show me the amount until the next day. bunch of hogwash for a single purchase. I would rather spend 100 more somewhere else. Then they told me they could not get the part for a week. Take your business elsewhere please and save yourself the headache.
Honest, fair pricing, and their word is their bond. Just a pleasure doing business with Mike, Bernard and their entire crew. Can't recommend these guys more. I drove all the way from Woodstock Illinois and was not disappointed. Thanks, Gentlemen.
Been coming here since I was 16 multiply that by 3 or so and I'm still here coming back all the time especially for my used tires they have always done me right even if something went a miss always been fair and negotiable to come to a resolution good place good people and awesome junkyard cats meow not converter although who knows they might have those too. Anyway if you need junkyard parts batteries or tires I would recommend checking them out.
I called to get a quote on selling my old scrap vehicle. They gave me a quote and matched their price when I brought the vehicle. Fast and easy transaction from the friendly ladies working behind the counter. A+. I will be using them again in the future.
Well worth the 3 hour drive. These guys sell used/salvaged parts at the best price ever! Other junkyards think they have OEM painted to match brand new parts at insane prices! Thank you for being such a great help and being so friendly! I will recommend to many other people to shop used at Jellison's Auto Parts! 10 stars is my true rating! Thanks again!
Found Jellison's online as they had a lower mileage engine for a vehicle i was working on. They swore up and down it was a good engine, backed by a 30 day gaurantee. Had the engine shipped, started swapping out the manifold(which was full of water, as well as one cylinder) and found metal bearing flakes in the lifter valley. Beings i was hopefull the engine was still workable and was going to install new gaskets anyway, i checked 2 crank bearings and they were spun. I called back and told them about it. They didnt return my call, so I called again and they said there was nothing they could do cause I took the engine apart. The guy was was also very unprofessional. This place is out to make a buck, and does not stand behind their word. Any mechanic who drained the oil(as they can only ship them with no fluids) would have seen there was a problem with this engine. Good luck! I would look elsewhere...
Avoid at all cost! First time customer, worse experience ever! One staff told me the item I was buying cost $20, I went to the yard removed the part, came back; his coworker doubled the price. The first guy made up a completely different story trying to reproach me not understanding what he had said. Further, since it was my first time there I didn’t know I had to come with tools to remove the part I needed (a ratchet and 2 sockets) to remove a car door. They refused to let me borrow them. They proposed to sell me a tool set to just remove the door. Since I drove almost an hour to get there I didn’t want the trip to be in vain so I just bought it. I removed the door which were supposed to match (same color code), come to find out they don’t and they don’t want to refund my money. The only option they gave me is in-store credit. Their level of unprofessionalism and rudeness throughout the whole time was extremely shocking! Wow! TO AVOID AT ALL COST!
Went in for some parts off a car yesterday and got decent pricing on some items from a nice older gentleman. Went back today for some more parts and a different younger skinnier guy looked up each part on ebay and quoted me the most astronomical/highest prices listed online. I just turned around and walked out it was so appalling. It's one thing to make a buck, its another to try and price gouge a returning customer. Avoid this place at all costs.
First time being here at the junkyard they were super nice & helpful especially the mechanic there, let me borrow a 7mm for my wrench so I can be able to take these fuel doors of some of the trailblazers they had there & so I put them on my very own Chevrolet Trailblazer & both a perfect match. thank you so much! this has made my day I was treated very well & was respected & helped as well. thank you so much I will for sure come back if I need any other parts for my truck for one day. very happy with my items!
Super friendly, fast, and beyond fair prices for what I needed. Plus they open an hour earlier than the others guys further up the way, so you can get on your project quicker. Definitely recommend. The only thing was I didn't see row markers that would've helped me find the vehicle I needed, but in all fairness, they could have been buried in the snow. All in all a successful repair was had, for cheap, and I'm happy.
Good prices and the guys up front are great. Tons of snow on the cars which is fine, but if they were able to clear a path down the main roads, or even drive a snowmobile around a bit to pack the snow down it would be much easier to get around the lot. I found what I needed at a good price so I will definitely be checking Jellison's out again the next time I need used car parts.
