This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
In Gates, TN, reviews for American Recycling are overwhelmingly positive, scoring 96/100. Customers praise friendly, professional staff in the yard and office, fast in-and-out service (truck drivers note easy access), an organized yard with clear directions, convenient vehicle pickup, and strong pricing that often beats nearby yards. Common gripes include occasional market-driven price dips and one complaint about unclear complete-vs-incomplete car pricing; waits are typically short. Little info on parts inventory or ease of finding parts, so that remains uncertain.
I should have been going here a long time ago. Very professional and friendly staff. And pay absolute top dollar for metals. It's worth the extra drive.
I brought a 2007 van in. They told me 13 a 100 for complete cars over the phone. The van was complete but didn’t have aluminum wheels what the Young lady told me so they weren’t able to give me complete car pricing. They would have to give me incomplete car . But It did have an aluminum glass racks on both sides. It was a complete van but Lesson learned. It was 100 percent complete Converters, motor, transmission, could’ve drove it across scale if was allowed. We want talk about the 500 lbs + of aluminum glass racks. But now I know unless you have aluminum rims it is considered incomplete. Wish I knew that before punching a whole in gas fake and before it was grabbed by the claw. Thank you wish yall a merry Christmas and happy new years
Great bunch of people. I love their mascot. I believe he's a bull dog not sure about his breed so don't qoute me but Eddie is as awesome as the people there. The prices have fallen on the shreddables to 8 a hundred since dyersburg closed for a month but hopefully they'll go back up soon. Still love this scrap yard!!! Love love love American recycling
I live across the river in Missouri and I would rather make the drive to American recycling at gates for the best prices and awesome workers in the yard and office..they always take the time to greet you and even talk a bit about things and to me that means a lot .
These folks are amazing. The guys in the yard are amazing, and the ladies in the office are sweet as can be. I'm literally late as can be every single time I go, I mean last 15 mins of their day at least once or twice a week.. And they still always smile and make me feel welcome(even if they're cussing in their head). BEST PLACE TO SELL SCRAP IN WEST TENNESSEE !!!
This was the easiest experience I have ever had junking my car. They picked it up. Drivers were professional, and kind. The check was waiting for me at the shop. (Thanks guys you were so nice and friendly)
Don’t waste your time trying to find a better price. I contacted five other yards and not one of them had a better price or even the same price for what I was wanting to get rid of.
