111 Salvage JunkYard in Clayton (MO)

I visited this salvage yard a little while ago in search of a key tumbler for my driver side door of a 2002 Trailblazer. This yard had several trucks to choose from and I found my part. A friend took it off the salvaged vehicle which fit perfectly into mine. This place was like any other salvage yard full of vehicles to find much needed car parts. There is a charge to go into the yard and I believe I paid $2. If you're looking parts check out this salvage yard. #Tonetta

$2 Entry per person: cash and card accepted. Decent staff. Bring your own tools, but be aware they'll search your tool bag before you continue. Wheel barrows to haul your stuff. Big-rock gravel, so wear protective shoes. Cars, trucks, and trailers for days! Wheels in decent condition also for sale near the entrance. Important note: you may or may not have cell service while out in the salvage yard. Porta Potty available near entrance.

Called for a part. Person was nice on the phone. They said they had one in stock. Asked if they could hold it as it’d be a haul to get there. They said sorry it’s first come first serve. Waited in line for 30 minutes, no problem, they're busy. It’s my turn, told the person what I was looking for. He was gone for 15 minutes and came back and said sorry, I couldn’t find it. Sometimes it shows we have it when it doesn’t. I’m understanding, but that’s why I called. There’s nothing that can be done. I just wanted everyone to be aware of you are looking for items that they pull and offer for sale make them actually look for it before you drive. They were nice and that’s why I’m not giving them a one star.

Can't trust. They lie about prices and change at the last minute after you do all the work.

They sat a truck on a culvert on the cross member, wouldn't do anything to help move it. Couldn't get trans out. Wouldn't let me pull my truck in with 2 3 ton jacks way in the back instead of having to drag them all the way back. The bearded guy up front was rude and wouldn't give any other answer than no. Flvery unhelpful people. Your SOL if you need any help whatsoever.

Fair prices for certain things, but their wheelbarrels could be better (at least 2 wheels instead of 1 for more stability). They have an import side and domestic side for junk cars, but beware of some personel operating the scrap loaders and large forklifts. There isn’t much info on certain sections of the yard where vehicles get moved or relocated except for areas marked with Keep Out Signs, because a forklift tried to move a scrap car with me halfway inside while I was trying to retrieve a spare tire jack kit. However, 111 Salvage has a disclaimer you have to sign before entry, they’re not responsible for accidents or injuries. Lastly, if you ever try to get used transmissions from here, you should expect to have it rebuilt due to 50/50 split success and failure rates.

Bought a transmission from them that was damaged when removing. I didn’t notice until I went to install it and they wouldn’t do anything about it. $700 wasted. Don’t give them your business

Very disappointed when they changed the prices,I was their customer for many years, I was spending here thousands dollars every year and now anymore.After raising prices I am gonna stop byuing here.Good for owner, loosing customers.Good luck with your business.

Was quoted $450 for a car, got there they said $100, say good-bye to my business a$$hats

They have all kinds of cars ne er know what years they have

We were visiting from out of town and my son had a tire blow out by the arch. The quick service to get a wheel and tire to replace was phenomenal. Thank you to Jeff and everyone that helped us.

Well if you want to get ripped off and your stuff stole there then this is the place for you. While there guy over charged me and charged me for stuff that would go with the part if you bought it anywhere else even new and then get my drill stole by 2 guys walking around and get told oh that tends to happen here sorry about your luck and they stole 2 pieces I needed for my door panel

My favorite Salvage yard....low prices late model cars... Sell Service...and parts already off ......I go there all the time..carry your tools with and Save..... Unless you got it like that...I have never got a part I had to take back...and I saved big ..it's still the same..Late Model vehicles ...great prices....Veterans get in Free ..and military discount on parts...purchased...

Definitely would recommend to everyone. Fast friendly service Cheap parts. Definitely will be going back anytime I need a part

If I could give it a 0 would sold me a junk engine then got. Engine mixed up with some else engine wanted it back after I already had it in car yesterday had n choice but to go here due to it's the close to me my. Wife bother car was hood would not open to add water so I was trying open it really quick. And instead of waiting all but 4 mins. They told her to. Do it on the side of the road because they were in a hurry to close the gate. And the rude and lazy the don't keep track of anything

Very disrespectful employees! If your a foreigner do not go here. The employees here are so racist that it blows my mind. We have been going to them for more then 15 years and year after year they get more disrespectful.I am really disappointed at how they manage there customer service.

They use to be reasonable to get into their junkyard, but now they have enough nerves to charge $2 to get in. I couldn’t believe they wanted me to pay that much to get into a junkyard that I have to pull my own parts. Also, they charge for every little thing. I am willing to pay a $1, but I have to be a fool to pay more than that. COVID, is not an excuse to rip people off. I recommend people to go to Riverside, it’s free and they don’t charge for petty things like hoses, screws etc.

I made an offer on one of their vehicles and it was declined “because of tax reasons” and then he hung up on me. With that happeningC I had my husband call and ask if the full price pays for everything, turns out the car already had a down payment on it and was being sold. I don’t trust them, they were very shady and rude to me. So if you want or need a vehicle fast, don’t trust them for it.

Excellent U.S. Army Engineer friendly. HOOAH discount these are white hat automotive technical professionals. For all the shade trees in the area pay for all of your parts, even the ones in your pockets please.

Place doesn’t close at 5 like they claim they do, they close at 4:30pm. Drove an hour for nothing, this place lacks any definition of professionalism on how they treat people and run business.

Nice yard & staff. I was able to find all I needed after striking-out at a neighboring yard. I appreciate the fair prices, & more so the free entry & discount for Veterans!! You would do well to extend this courtesy to our First Responders, too!!

THEY SELL BROKEN PARTS!!! STAY AWAY!!! Dont give receipts either. Since they know they are crooked. They told me 4 times the compressor I was getting was good and working. Of course, it wasn't. STAY AWAY!!!!

Good prices, friendly staff, clean working area.

DON'T CALL!! They were very rude on the phone and will not help you know if they have what you need ahead of time. I wouldn't want to even try visiting.

Bought a Mazda motor for $2000 cash had a rattle noise on startup needs timing chain they would only give back $600 of my money and I’m stuck with noisy motor. No more business with this place very disorganized

Beware of hidden charges after purchasing parts. Several added fees that wearnt spoke of after drove over an hour for a part !! Wouldn’t refund the fees..

My wife and I came here last Saturday and found a part we couldn't find anywhere else.We didn't finish by closing but they gave us a free pass for the next day. The prices are good and the employees we dealt with were polite, even friendly(for a junkyard!). The yard itself is organized and relatively neat. The few minor moans I have are the big steel pipes supporting the vehicles make access to some parts difficult and the large paving stones are no fun to crawl around or lay on. As a long time yardbird I'd recommend 111 Salvage and will be back.
