Safari Auto Wrecking JunkYard in Yelm (WA)

I’ve been trying to buy an engine for the last 3 weeks from these people. I’ve asked numerous times for a picture so I knew what all was still on the engine. I was told last week that they would text it to me and that they lowered the price. I called today and the guy was not very professional at all. Tells me they don’t have the time unless I put money down and that the price was higher then what I was told the previous week. I told him the gal that takes part orders told me the manager dropped the price significantly, he responded with the original quote and I told him I wanted to talk to the manager he stated that he was.. these people aren’t worth the time. Gundies had pictures to me within an hour.

Not a wrecking yard. Is a dismantling location. Went to see about finding parts and couldn't get past the lobby. If you want to chance your parts being broken pulled by someone else you can take the chance

Safari has been awesome over the years. Great team and great products. Highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for all the great service.

The staff were so helpful; they are truly above and beyond awesome. I called ahead and they checked the yard for the part I needed, which as luck would have it was the exact trim and paint color of the vehicle that needed the part. I arrived with tools, thinking I'd be pulling the part myself, only to find they had pulled the part beforehand and it was ready and waiting for me... then they loaded it into my car for me. I literally didn't have to lift a finger!!! They also helped me find another part for a different vehicle while I was there. I drove over 100 miles to come to this yard, because I did prefer the color matching part. It was a reasonable price, in very nice condition and I was back on the road in very little time. Seriously could not recommend Safari highly enough.

These guys are great to work with on every level. I have purchased multiple parts from them, and even a complete "first" car for my son. The owner is very professional and personable, as well as his crew. Good prices, and they will stand behind their sale. I would highly recommend calling to see if they have what you are looking for first.

They stated that both 4runner curtain airbags were available and they gave me a final price. I gave my card info only to have no answer for a whole week. I call them again and the lady on the phone states that they actually only have 1 side available. Whatever, no big deal. Agreed on the price a second time. It's been another week and no word. NOTE: They still have my card info and were responding well until they got. Today? No answer. Avoid doing business here

They always have the parts I need, pricing is at fair market value for demand. No problem exchanging the wrong part for small restock fee. Good customer service, acres of kia's. Thanks

Always great prices and I did buy many parts from them It's Fair price ,friendly, good customer service.

Stick with B&R or LKQ. Had too many broken parts and headaches from this yard.

Our shop needed few pieces for two different carsThey had them at reasonable prices. All of the employees that I had contact with were very nice. Would recommend that if you are in need of a part for your car you can call and they will check if they have it.

They say they have the part, drive an hour to get the part, wait a half hour to be told they don't have it..... don't waste your time with this place..... update....... they called back and said a car with my part just got unloaded and they'll ship it for free to me.... I'll update this to a 3 star for my waste of time and gas... will I do business with them again? I'll give them a second chance for trying to make this right but I'll make sure they put their eyes on the part first

Love this place. Have been doing business for the past 2 years. Found them on online. Made a phone call after desperately looking for a part, the owner knew exactly what I was looking for and took care of it right away. Since then been doing business and they always get 5 Star.

Was getting ready to drive hours up from Oregon, I asked this place three times for a simple request to make sure the part I needed was actually there before I drove up. They never did. Just wasted my time and strung me along. I bet most these vague 5 * reviews here are either paid or people that know the owners.

Found 2021 Bronco side mirror assembly online (indefinite backorder from Ford parts). Held it for me over the weekend with $100 deposit. Owner installed it for me gratis when I went to pick it up on Monday. Couldn't be happier. Saved me from potential headaches of buying on eBay where you can't see it before you buy.

Friendly and amazing business! Was traveling from out of state and they just so happened to have an unusual transmission I needed. Odie worked with my schedule to have it pulled from the car and ready before I had to leave back home.

The lady on the phone is useless , does not call you back or email you as promised. First time as a shop I have been asked to fill out the credit card authorization form, nonsense . To sketched out to drive 2hrs to deal with this wrecking yard .

Drove 2hrs up and they has everything waiting for me, in the condition that they described Definitely will use them again

Being doing business with them for sometime now .. great CS decent prices.. will keep buying parts from them

Confirmed by phone that the part is available. Confirmed the order. When I got to pick up they said they don't sell this part separately. Just a waste of time. Dove here for over an hour Avoid this “business” if you can even call it that

The best wrecking yard around. The guys and gal at the counter and in the yard are awesome, funny and friendly and they have a massive selection of cars for parts. This isn't a you pull yard but it's just as good. They also sell used cars next door, Highly recommend!

Very awesome people are helpful trying to find my parts best around town

Awesome place! Great customer service great people and great product. I drive to them from Oregon just because how great the product and prices are.

They don't let customers pull parts. Be careful if you are driving here any distance because they will say they have something then when you show up won't let you in to get the part.

I did buy many parts from them It's Fair price ,friendly, Communication and has good customer service.

Good people. Never had issues with the parts purchased.

Very helpful and friendly. Went to pick up a spare tire and was in and out in 2 minutes. Thank you for the great service!

Great place, very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
