What clients say about Modern Day Recycling Junk Car Buyers + Scrap Metal in Barnegat Light (NJ)
Would definitely recommend! Driver came right on time and was very friendly. The truck was up an inclined driveway and wouldn’t start and the driver managed to still pull it out perfectly. Great experience.
I donate my car. A driver name joe came and picked my car. He was very nice gentleman. He gave me the paperwork and explained to me what I need to do with the license plate. Thanks joe!!!
Called to purchase a transmission listed on car part listed for 100 dollars, "the price isnt 100 its now 295".
Looool, there's some even listed for 150 even farther then middle of nowhere tested with parts warranties.
Will not be making any inquiries or transactions in the future. Sadly the one at myautostore sold the evening for 435 shipped on ebay prior to me heading down there to pick it up for 200 dollars, in "tested, grade A condition". As per their call back on saturday.
Been doing this too many years to not leave a 1 star review.
This is all after I told them im using the part for a swap on a vehicle after replacing a defective 5 speed unit with 270k miles. As per after them asking what car im replacing it from.
Probably an honest, labor intensive buisness as well.
Modern Day Recycling gave me the best price for my 2001 truck of any business in Ocean County. The process was easy from the online bid to the pickup the same day.
I cannot praise the company enough. I dealt specifically with Debbie who went above and beyond to help me with my complicated schedule, as well as Joe who was professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and explained everything on the day of the pickup. Friendly, fast, and efficient. Will be recommending.
10/10 recommend this place! Didn’t catch the name of the woman who works the office but she was great! Michael called me when he was 40 minutes out and was just a sweetheart of a man. It was so easy. Choose this place when thinking about getting rid of your car!
Very good business. Had called a few others but Modern Day Recycling quoted a fair price, and picked up the next day at a agreed time. Tow truck driver was,quick,friendly, and professional. Would recommend this company to everyone.
Right from the website to the phone the call back and the driver Joe which was a great experience with all that were involved. The drive Joe was a great person especially when part of my street address was wrong and he called immediately to correct my location so my pick went so smoothly
Good communication. On time, they called when
they were 20 minutes from my house, which was very helpful. Person who came to pick the car, I believe his name was John, was helpful and polite. I had a very positive experience. Would certainly highly recommend Modern Day Recycling.
snow & ice prevented today's pickup of vehicle & we will reschedule accordingly. however, if there was any way pickup could've been done, driver Joe would've certainly thought of it & no doubt completed pickup. very courteous, determined & professional.
close to 40 years of experience dealing with my own clients & employees, Joe is exceptional.
...an asset to your organization &
look forward to seeing him on rescheduled pickup

Wonderful experience. They called to set pick-up time two days prior, confirmed the morning of and showed up exactly as set. The team is very nice and professional.
Amazing service. They called to give you a time for pickup and showed up on time. Everyone was courteous, friendly, and professional. Highly recommended them!
Our experience with this company and their associate Joe Cool was fantastic!! Joe was professional, showed up on time, and was so friendly it put our mind at ease about junking our old jeep we were holding emotional attachment to. lol thanks so much for an easy and pleasant transaction!
Had a great experience selling my car through this company. The tow truck driver Joe Cool was quick, efficient, courteous, and above all friendly. If I need to sell a car again, it'll be with these guys for sure.
My experience was phenomenal. My pickup was scheduled within a couple of days, and the tow truck driver was professional, careful, and quick, and provided me with my initial pickup receipt. Kars for Kids emailed me all the paperwork I needed for my tax donation. The entire process could not have gone smoother.
If I have another car that needs to be junked I will used Modern Day Recycling again. They picked up my junk car within 24 hours after I reached out to them. I dealt with AJ who was super professional and nice. He made sure I received a follow up text to confirm my appointment. The driver was on site at the exact ETA that he provided. If anyone has a car that needs to be junked, please use Modern Day Recycling. You will get top notch service and a fair rate!!!
I would definitely recommend Modern-Day Recycling. They were pleasant to work with. They kept in touch with me through the process. They picked up the vehicle right on schedule.
Modern Day made donating and picking up the car so easy! Just filled out the form, picked my pickup window, handed over the keys and waved goodbye to the car. Everyone I spoke to was wonderful and the tow truck driver was a sweetheart.(I wish I knew his name so he could get recognition!)
I thought that they were very pleasant and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone. I was given an offer I had accepted and they had come looked over the vehicle and had taken some pictures and handed me a check and off they went.
Transaction was smooth. Very good communication with the owner and tow truck driver day of pick up. Tow truck driver arrived on time. Overall very Happy with my experience.
This is a recycling company so of course I called them when my neighbors threatened to get my vehicle towed. unfortunately I didn’t get what I want for it or even close to what I put into it to get it running again, but the price was fair enough and they always give you an accurate quote at the best price you’ll get. no haggling necessary and they come with a pre-written check and are quick! My time was scheduled for 7-10 am and they were on the phone with me at 7 to hash out the details for pickup and here and gone within the hour. If you have to get rid of a vehicle, and want top dollar give these guys a call
Great company, I have em a call when they opened at 7, truck got there and was done before 9:30 and took under 20 min from when they pulled up till they took off. Truck driver was super nice and knew what he was doing. Had the car on the truck and my check in my hands in no time. Great deal aswell, best i could find.
VERY professional!!! Super friendly staff, everyone was so nice and the service was very fast!!! Followed up with a call i made a couple days prior and the same day came and got my vehicle! If you ever need to sell i suggest this place times 1000!! Also have the best prices around!
Driver was very professional and organized and made the experience a great customer experience. You can see the owners invest in their trucks a d take care of them. I used them twice. Thankyou Modern Day Recycling and Mr Rodney!
I called today needing a tow for my car that needed to be scrapped and the lady on the phone was so amazing. She was so patient and so kind which meant so much to me because I get a lot of anxiety speaking on the phone. She made the process so easy and they were able to fit me in the same day! The driver of the tow was so nice and helpful (I wish I knew his name) but It was my first time scrapping my car by myself and was nervous but he explained everything to me and helped me take my plates off. He showed and helped me with everything I needed. I was really sad about letting go of my car but these two workers gave me such a sense of relief with the fast and easy process. They really made my night with their kindness and all their help. Modern day recycling also scrapped my first car, a 2007 blue ford focus in 2021. I will always choose them!! They’re the best around and have such a good team. don’t hesitate to call them if you need to scrap!!
They did a wonderful job with keeping in touch of when they were going to pick up my vehicle and they kept their word about giving me the amount they said. All and all it was a great experience from beginning to end. I appreciated the help of getting the one plate off that I had trouble with. I would def use them again and let others know to use them in the future.
