Busy Bee Auto Parts & Towing in
Dayton (OH)

Terrible example of how to run a business, gave a family member a ride to this shop to recover his vehicle. Prior to heading there he had called them to make sure he was able to recover his vehicle and what the price would be, they Gave him a price and told him they would be closing at 2 o’clock. The phone call was made at 12:30. We arrived there by 12:45 and nobody was there and when we called to attempt to recover the vehicle, they proceeded to say that they closed early, even when knowing we were on our way to recover the vehicle. Then had to wait over an hour for them to actually show up.

Every time I call, 5 seconds later, they don't have it, 'never looked' cars they have parked across from their shop they say our for sale, I'll ask about 3 different ones, every time, oh not for sale. Truthfully don't know how their still open as a business. ..zero stars but only can go low as 1.

Been there to maybe check out a truck thats forsale..

The people here know what they are doing. I hope to never have a need for their service in th future, but should the need arise, I would call them in an instant! They are good people!

Do not trust this towing company with you car key. They will lose it stole it. One of the two. Dayton police didn't care either. They are in cahoots. I will bring them to small claims court

We had to wait a while before somebody helped us, but once they did, we were able to get what we needed with very little hassle.

If your car has been towed, Busy Bee will usually work with you within reason and boundaries of the law. For parts, they might just have that part that no one else does.! For basic parts, I would compare prices from other suppliers, sometimes Busy Bee can be a little pricey. But once again, that hard to find part might be with the cost.

Was not happy with thus towing storage place. My van was moved without my permission to a parts yard I was working with an insurance adjuster and it was supposed to be moved on 8/20. I wasn't contacted that it was going to be moved early I was not happy

a horrible place, they should be working in the desert, rude, prejudiced, they are on their cell phones, they don't pay attention, they treat you as if they were giving away the things you want to buy. Don't have the displeasure of getting to know this environment.

Great professional Business! Extremely pleased with their Service. Can't say enough about your kindness and professionalism. You are my Towing Company for Sure!

The old reliable this place has been here. My whole life can always count on them. They usually have everything I ever need great prices super respectful, super friendly, and they will go above and beyond to help you most certainly unless you got your car in pounded other than that they can’t help you lol.

I bought a transmission and a transfer case from them, when I purchased the transfer case a few months before the transmission they helped me carefully load it in the suv and this time the guy was in such a rush he flipped my transfer case over off the towel I had it laid out on so it wouldn’t leave and then flipped the transmission in there smashed my plastic covering my speaker in a car I just paid $30,000 in cash for I get 20 minutes down the road and my seats and my floors are drenched in transmission fluid. My family owns law firms in Dayton and in Xenia I will be suing them as soon as possible! Even if I don’t get anything out of it your company is still paying attorney fees, my attorneys are free! I’ll drag it out as long as I can!

I needed a rim for my car and saw they had some at their website. I went there and told him what I needed and his guys found the exact replacement for my car. Him and his employees were polite and professional plus he deducted $25 from the list price because it had a slight dent that didn't affect its use. Thank you, Busy Bee.

Didn't seem to want to give the car back. They tried everything they could to stall and keep from releasing my brother's car. They even made up an excuse as to why he couldn't get it out the same day it came in, so when he came back the next day they had added more to what he needed to get it out. If you can avoid this place I urge you to do so.

I would just like to say the man that owns this place is so unprofessional he charged me damn near 5$ for a copy or my receipt and then anther 5$ to use my card but they clearly have a note on their window stating that you need to spend a minimum of 10$ I order to use a card and not be charged and let’s not even bring up how expensive they are… so not that’s 65$ for a tail light, 5$ for a peice of paper and then 5$ to use my card what kind of highway Robbery is this !

I need ONE wheel cover. Sounds easy right? Uuuhhh no BUT... "Jerry" luckily answered the phone today to help me! I got a beautiful new/used Accord and now it will be complete! Thanks so much for your help and kindness!

This place engages in legalized theft. My car was stolen, and recovered by the sheriff, who had Busy Bee towing tow the vehicle less than 2 miles to their junkyard. I went the next morning to look at the vehicle, and they claimed there was a police hold on it. I contacted the sheriff and the detective on the case who both said there was no hold, after a weekend of trying to get it figured out, and having the police call them yesterday, and again today, after they claimed there was still a police hold, they are claiming the bill to be $460, which is more than the car value in it's condition. It was bad enough having the vehicle stolen by some faceless POS, but these people smiled in my face as they were stealing this car. This car was my brother's, and wound up in my possession after he was killed in action in Afghanistan. It's only value is sentimental, and this company is taking advantage of the misfortune of a veteran an their deceased brother.

Honest hardworking people. More than fair prices on good used parts. The owner even let me use some of their tools. A little slow but that's because they are busy and a little understaffed but that's a good problem to have.

In the Dayton area for a funeral and called looking for a replacement rim for my daughter's 2013 Focus .. spoke to a very helpful gentleman who also helped us find the salvaged Focus on his lot and the rim .. also a shoutout to Poling's Auto Parts in Troy who helped me find the rim at Busy Bee's .. if you are in need of auto parts in the Dayton area, please call Busy Bee's and Poling's and they will be happy to help you.

Very convenient, we needed a notary to witness title exchange on the recent car buy.. busy bee is always helpful and reasonable. $5 for this service.. thank you !

was driving down north Dixie behind one of the flat bed, about 5 mins ago and no warning or anything they just turned into the laundry mat by George's, I'm wondering if this is how they get people to use their service? just slam on breaks and turn with no warning or using a turn signal! I almost rear ended them with my 7 month old in the car!

I'm rather bias since they towed my car and charged me $200 for storage for less than 12 hours. When I picked up my car they were nice enough people everything went pretty smoothly

This auto parts and towing company has existed in the area for as long as I can remember it's family owned and operated everyone is always friendly prices are pretty dam good if you ask me and I can't think of a time I've called them in they didn't have what I was looking for!

I’m from Massachusetts and the junk yard/auto parts places there you are free to walk around and then checkout as you leave. Unfortunately that’s not the case here, and as I walked in and explored nobody greeted me telling me that I had to have a guide until toward the end of my findings I was stopped by a worker and was ubruptly told to get off the property. Planned on making some good business with them, but unfortunately I’ll have to find somewhere else more hospitable.

Was not impressed at all with them. If I could give them a half star I would. Called them first about a headlight and was told they had a good one after they went and supposedly gone and checked it and called me back. Drove from Springfield to them only to get there and the headlight had broken tabs and hold downs. Would not recommend them nor will I go back to them for any parts ever again.

Large selection. Good prices. Service was slow. Just over a 4 hour wait. Only to be told they couldn't sale me the part because they could not get it out!

This is the worst junk yard I have ever been to. I called ahead to see if they had the starter I needed, they did. Service over the phone was fast. I arrived here at 1:15pm, it's now 2:43 and they "have no clue where the guy that they sent to get the starter off is at in the process." IT'S THREE BOLTS. Back to the guy taking the starter off; the guy that we worked with, walked in after 20 mins and said, "oh i got someone taking that thing off for you." Never am i ever coming here again.
