What clients say about G3 Scrap Metal in Weslaco (TX)
These guys are the best and they pay good no hassle whenever I bring my junk in unlike Wilkirson that doesn’t take half of the junk I bring in because they are too lazy to separate metals from plastic, etc…
I just wanted to acknowledge Brenda and Lesvia, for their great people skills and taking care of the customer and greeting them very professionally. We need more employees like them. Keep up the great work.
I just wanted to recognize Brenda, Lesvia, Joseph, Jessie and the owner Ben for treating the customers very professionally and having them feel appreciated. This past weekend they had the BBQ pit on and showed just how much they value our business. Keep up the great customer service.
A mid valley scrap yard. They have a large scale your weight is clearly visible from your vehicle. I believe the scale goes in 20 lb increments, similar to other vehicle scales at other scrap yards. They take all sorts of metal and unload while you sit in your vehicle. Their prices are competitive with what other scrap yards in the valley pay. For small quantities of scrap metal you would go inside the building and get it weighed per pound.
You get paid in cash. NO ID is required for selling tin/steel. Often the office has donuts.
Although, the lady was nice, I was disappointed on how they paid for copper, I felt like they short changed us. They quickly added my scraps with other items so it didn’t get weighted accordingly. I will not be using them again.
If you are searching for a place to go-you found it! After a lousy experience at Metal place down the toad (crappy service/no signs/nobody wanted to work) I ended up here. AWESOME. This place is courteous and understands service!
The friendly atmosphere made the task enjoyable. Keep up the great work G3!
Seller beware....I didn't agree with what they were offering for my scrap. Took back my scrap and sold it elswhere for more cash in my pocket. ONCE AGAIN, SELLER BEWARE!!!!!! SEEK OTHER OPTIONS. THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY LOCAL SCRAP YARD.
We went 4 times last year & stopped going because they clearly cheat you on weight & prices of metals.
In January 2024, we took some heavy metals, over 10 lbs, & they wanted to give us $3 for it🤦🏻♀️
Took it to another place & got $15!
We have noticed that on our aluminum cans & other items, we get paid higher prices at other locations! G3 is the closest to my home, but I wouldn’t recommend it!
I've been going here for years. From the drop off and courteous workers collecting the metals and cans to the very nice young lady with black hair, Brenda. She goes above and beyond to accommodate you with a swift transaction. I rate it 5 stars because no other place makes you feel comfortable and at home. Combat Veteran Approved!
I drove from Harlingen because online, it says they take appliances. I loaded up my old fridge. I get here, and I'm told they don't take refrigerators. The gentleman I spoke to was friendly theirs that. My fault for not calling ahead to make sure.
The employees unloading very friendly but ladies inside not friendly at all.Not even a smile or good morning.*The only issue my truck got scratch while unloading metal using a big machine.🤦🏻♀️
Ok, customer service, but when selling the a few bag loads of aluminum cans, they deduct 2 pounds for the plastic bag they are carried in. A 55 gallon trash bag doesn't even weigh a pound. SMH. I don't know if that's SOP in this business, but other locations I've been to will weigh the containers and then deduct that weight from the final purchase.
I'm a 71 yrs Young man. I have been going to this place, all my life. But I guess its under new ownership. Because the place and the people there now are very helpful. Wow not only very helpful, but pleasant too. God's blessings to you and your family always.. Amen!
Go there often nice friendly staff.. but but the last time I went one of your staff members was impatient and ended denting my 2020 Ford Ranger tail gate while unloading a metal cart.😢🙈
The prices they give u on their website is not what they pay you. Somewhat understandable. What ever scrap ur selling...if it's 1.0 pounds or 1.9 pounds ur only getting paid for 1.0 pound.. They're scales only read in pounds. No tenths or hundredths.
Went in with shiny bright copper they tried to give me the #1 copper price. It's significantly less than shiny brite or bare bright copper price. They said they didnt buy shiny/bare bright copper and that they could only give me #1 copper price. Took back my scrap. Don't want to do buisness with this company.
Update. Went 5 miles east(u figure it out) and was paid significantly more for my #1 & #2 copper. Still not shinny bright or bare bright prices but. $0.47 and $0.63 a pound more respectively on this day. More than worth my time and effort!
