Over priced junk. They sold me a really crappy head light for 240 that has a broken turn signal. I’m in a rush but you’re better off buying a new set for 100 dollars more.
Update to owner response: My name is not Damien, clearly you’re screwing over more than just one person. You guys don’t know anything about how easy it is to install a headlight so I’m providing proof that it was not user installation error but rather your junk headlight which I know they didn’t even test because the blinker light was completely MISSING. The wiring was not “off kilter” (which is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard by the way). Lesson learned though, don’t ever trust a junk yard. MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THEM TEST WHAT THEY ARE SELLING YOU BEFORE YOU BUY. I pre paid with the hope that I could get it the same day but they screwed me on that too insisting it’s a 2 day job to remove the headlight. Maybe if you’re a scam artist at michaelson foreign & domestic it’s a 2 day job to find the crappiest headlight in NJ BUT IT’S LITERALLY 3 screws and unplugging a wire. 10-15 minutes tops for a NON SCAM ARTIST TO FINISH.
Have conducted business with many different scrap yards over the years, never had an issue until trying out Michaelson. If we're rating by how much they seem to hate their job and couldn't care less about pulling the part you prepaid for in they time frame they gave you, I'd give them 5 stars. Never had a worse experience ordering a part for a vehicle. Wanted double the price of any other scrap yard and apparently need 5 days to get it to me when I walked in another scrap yard office and they took it off the car and handed it to me in 5 minutes with a good attitude and happy to have my business. For Michaelson this is too much to ask for, absolute joke of a company and a complete waste of time. Go anywhere else and have a much better experience.
UPDATE: No this is not a second review, you just happened to piss off two different people named Damien what are the odds, pretty high with you guys...
I desperately needed a part for my car and was stressed about finding the right one quick so I could get to work. The guys here were incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. They took the time to make sure I got exactly what I needed. They truly saved me a lot of time, money, and worry. I highly recommend them if you want honest help and great service.
These guys are great! I've searched high and low for the glass I needed and they were the only ones who actually have it! The price was way less than I thought it was going to be too. Thanks fellas!
The parts are very expensive, they said they would come. in 2 days, and they came in 5. Yes. They charged us taxes. Well, since we paid in cash. I think that's unfair. Rude. At least the man who was at the cash register.
These guys really did a great job! they had an engine on eBay listed for business address only shipping. When giving them a call I was treated well and got a quote for residential shipping that was still affordable. If you on the fence from previous reviews just give them a call they are knowledgeable and friendly. Engine arrived with no issues besides a coil that went out but to be expected from a recycler. After a new coil the engine runs perfect and the warranty is piece of mind. Thank you Michaelson's!!
Staff was very nice, told me the parts I needed would be ready for pickup on Monday, and then I was surprised to get a call only a few hours later informing me the parts were ready. Good prices as well. Will be coming back for more parts for sure!
Great service from start to finish. Wish I would have found him earlier. Minor mishap fixed and even “compensated “ for the mishap. Thank you so much Jeff and Scott. Most reasonable prices during my search for a part.
We are still waiting on a credit back for $165 on a corroded Alloy rim that was sold to us back in February. We called as soon as the delivery guy brought it and left it in our shop .It took them a month to pick it back up as well. I sent several emails and called several times. Bad business !
I called a number of junkyards to find an old part, the needle in a haystack. This place was my last stop and my first time using them. I was frustrated with how rude the other junkyards staff were and unwilling to help locate my part. Michael and Joe were not only helpful and accommodating, but extremely pleasant to work with. Highly recommended! Thank you!
Counter guy was good but the Grade A part a used bumper for $550 dollars is a joke got it apart, broken tabs galore, been repaired by a hack. painted by maaco or some crapola.. Grade C at best and def not worth 550..
Places order 12/31 told wait would be 5 days. Two weeks later I contact Joe every other day. He behaves condescendingly as if my business is not big enough to be a concern. Dismissive of customers concerns. Contacted on 1/17 and told part is and has been available 3 days. I called him out on the lie as we spoke last two days prior. In that conversation I expressed I would give one more day before requesting a full refund. After being called out on the false statement he responds the part arrived that same day and that he made numerous attempts to contact me. All false statements again. Overall poor customer service.
never buy any parts from this place again. returned a used transmission that i bought from them but never get my money back. the driver misplaced it. they never find it and blamed us never return the transmission. very bad service
Recently purchased a fender for my bmw granted fender is used and it is an older car I drove an hour and a half for it was told fender was a+ really nice shape I get there and fender was dented every where lucky I’m a body guy and will fix it and didn’t feel like arguing since I drove an hour and a half for it but definitely was not in the Shape I was told it was in.
From the beginning to the end, Joe went above and beyond in delivering invaluable information, and his service was truly exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Michaelson Auto Parts, with a special shout-out to Joe for his honest and outstanding salesmanship.
I recently had the pleasure of purchasing some car parts from Michaelson’s foreign and domestic auto parts, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with their service. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and hassle-free.
First and foremost, the communication with Michaelson’s was exceptional. Joe was prompt in responding to my inquiries. They were patient and attentive, taking the time to understand my specific needs and providing me with the necessary information to make an informed decision. I never felt rushed or pressured.
In terms of pricing, Michaelson’s offered fair and competitive rates for their auto parts. I had done some research beforehand, and I can confidently say that their prices were on par with, if not better than, other suppliers in the market. This affordability was a huge plus for me, as it allowed me to get the parts I needed without breaking the bank.
What truly set Michaelson’s apart, however, was their helpfulness. They went above and beyond to ensure that I found the right parts for my car. Their knowledgeable staff provided valuable insights and recommendations, guiding me towards the most suitable options.
Overall, my experience with Michaelson’s foreign and domestic auto parts was extremely positive. Their excellent communication, fair pricing, and helpfulness made the whole process effortless and stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of car parts, as they truly go the extra mile to meet their customers' needs.
I needed a windshield for my 2000 Porsche boxster S I wanted OEM to match the other glass in my car. Michaelsons had it when I got there. The glass wasn't to my satisfaction. When I expressed my concerns, Joe. Found me the perfect glass. I drove a 150 miles to get it. And of course, as you know, it's so worth the trip to get the right part for a call like this. Can't thank Joe enough for his diligence. He definitely went above and beyond to help me get what I needed for my car? I highly recommend going there for parts. The customer service was over the top !
I came to Michaelson auto to buy a wheel. The next day I was going to go camping. I was sent to the backyard to find a wheel myself. I needed 215×45×17. There was no such wheel. I found 225×45×17. I asked the seller if I can return it if it doesn't fit. I was assured that there were no problems. You can hand it back. The seller sold me a wheel without markings. When I came back after 6 days (I was camping). Another seller (that seller was not there) did not want to return. He immediately began to object and refused to return it. He took my time and nerves and peace. Keep in mind.
Michaelsons deserves a TEN star rating. They go out of their way to help, not just conduct business. When I go there I feel like I am talking to my brothers. They CARE and it shows in everything they say, and do. If you want the absolute best service at the best price, this is the place to go. And just buy some remote possibility, if something doesn’t turn out right, they will make it right. I put my complete trust in Michaelsons. They have earned my respect and my admiration. This is the way business should be run, and this is the way human beings should treat each other.
To everyone at Michaelsons, you have a customer for life, thank you for everything.
Very Sincerely,
Lori Elgazzar
My experience with Michaelson's has been Excellent..Joe has helped me with answering my questions and the best part is that he's patient and he makes sure you receive the Best Quality.
I can always depend on them.
Excellent customer service
This place awesome the boss and everyone who works here are amazing, with great prices. You can basically find anything you want here. I recommend Michaelson foreign & domestic cars to anyone I meet if they need to find parts. I say go here, really solid people hard to find places like this. In Business from 1926! Kept in the family !
Family owned business god fearing people awesome place to go to!
Terrible people. Linda and her husband are terrible people. Drove 6 hours to buy a car from her, turns out car has a bad steering pump, exhaust, seats, tires, and she denied the accident when I showed her the carfax. After I agreed to buying the car, with the high price she is requesting she refused to come to the bank with me so it would be safer for both of us. She wanted me to bring the cash to her shop. Absolutely horrible people, and can’t be trusted whatsoever. Stay away from them at all cost, thats the best advice I can give you if your reading this review.
Very good experience overall. I do not do this for a living and just another weekend warrior trying to fix my car. Thanks for saving me lot of money on my Honda odyssey liftgate. Prices are very reasonable compared to others. Big shout out to Joe for his business ethics and he is very knowledgeable. All the staff are very helpful and goes beyond expectations. Thanks to Joe for even letting me have something that they don't sell or inventory.
I stopped by to pick up an AC compressor and honestly this is the most reliable, trustworthy shop I've ever been to. Every one there is so helpful, I was in and out without any issue. Thank you to Joe at the front counter for all his help. We will definitely be using them for all our cars needs in the future. love this place
Ordered a part (Camry fender) online. Online experience was quick and painless. Picked up my part after a couple of days, but got stuck in huge NJ traffic. I live over 1hr away from there, and I wasn't going to make it by closing time (5pm). I called ahead and they said they'd wait up for me, which they did. Picked up my fender, and it was perfect. Best price on the part as well. Great transaction. Will hit them up next time I need parts. Maybe they can source an engine for my LS swap!
Very happy with Joe at the counter but not happy with my overall first experience buying parts here. I ordered an alternator for a Honda accord that was hit and that's to be expected but when they pulled the alternator from the car no one cared to simply look at the connector that was clearly broken off along with not simply spinning it to make sure its not seized in any direction before having me pick it up. I paid for it in advance and came in to grab it last minute before closing and didn't notice until I got back to my shop. Id like to get my money back but honestly just so disappointed in the lack of simple communication from a business
I was trying to get the most economical fix for a car and this place was straight up the best prices, even for parts they needed to order. They were fast, efficient and always helpful when I called (and I called A LOT). Joe in sales was top notch in customer service and Ray in the back was incredibly helpful finding the parts and tying the stuff down in the truck. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to buy reasonable auto parts.
