Friendly staff had all the parts I needed to repair my truck at a reasonable price

First time I came in, was reading the signage and looking for where to go/what to do to get started. One sales staff just stared at us and said what? It was really awkward. We had tools and although the signs said they needed to be inspected, they just passed us through. When I brought parts back to check out, was surprised at the cost of the items, but they let us put some back. I then returned a little over a week later to return some parts I didnt use. Slightly more welcoming then, but they didnt mark 3 of the vents last time and wouldnt give credit for those. I guess next time I have to remind the employee to mark all the parts? Not super inclined to do that since these guys are about as friendly as a box of wet rocks. Dont you want repeat customers? Be nice and build a warm relationship with your clients, jeez. The owners overly defensive responses to a lot of these negative reviews arent making me very comfortable with wanting to go back either. (Yes, Im aware some customers lie or are unreasonable, but they can still have some tact...)

This is a great junk yard. They have a couple other locations, so if you pay to get in at one of them then you can visit any of the others on the same day without having to pay again. They are usually friendly. When you first walk in they will ask you what make/ model/ year of car you are looking for parts for and they will make you a printout with the details and locations in the yard of any matching/ similar vehicles. They will want to check your tool bag on the way in and the way out to keep down theft, and if you are bringing in an old part with you to match it up they will mark it so you dont get charged for it on the way out. The $1 admission includes all the fuses, bulbs, clips, nuts, screws bolts and light sockets you want. They have wheelbarrows you can borrow for free and restrooms are available. You can buy any part you want, you just need to bring your own tools. The prices are extremely reasonable. I highly recommend this place.

I recently bought some Subaru parts at the Napa yard. They have a good inventory, fair pricing, well organized yard, and friendly employees. The inventory can be checked online before you get there, so you know right where to go. I have been to several of the other locations and had good luck there as well.

This junkyard has great service, reasonable prices, and lots of vehicles to pull from. Wheelbarrows are provided for transporting parts and they offer a sink to clean up in after youve finished working. Ive been here dozens of times and have zero complaints about this auto salvage yard.

I would have gave a 5 star if you didnt charge me a dollar to take a five minute look at a car just before closing. My niece was also charged again and she was there earlier to look at the same vehicle. Otherwise everything was good with friendly service.

I went there to get a window motor for a 1994 cutlass supreme. Online, new, with a 1 year warranty is less than 50$. The guy charged me 30$. I advised him I thought that was a little much for a motor that is used, has no warranty, and I could get a new one for 20$ more online. He was very rude, just shrugged his shoulders at me, and scoffed. I will not be going back there ever again. I hope others have a better experience.... after reading Jalopy Jungles response - as I said, the same part online, new, with a 1 year warranty was only 20$ more, I feel like it would have been a much better deal that way instead of driving there and back, getting searched to see what Im bringing in, walking around with a bag of tools, taking the time to pull the part, and getting treated rudely for no reason. The only reason i didnt just walk out without the part is because I was there, it was done, and I was tired. Thanks for the invite back, but no thanks!

Poor customer service. I arrived to Jalopy Jungle at 3:13pm. Online it said they were open till 4pm. The guy gave me a list of cars to choose from. I had no idea how to find them. I actually ran to the listed cars due to only having 15 minutes. I got the part I needed in 15 min after running around. Made it to the counter at at 3:30 pm. Due to being rushed and poor service I decided not to buy the part and order it online for the same price. Really bad customer service.

Its a adventure.But then again i dont go everyday.Ive been able to fix some simple things on my car.By just going and seeing.

Love this place, they let us walk through their parts yard allowing us to scope new arrivals and pick through parts. Everything is in computer index so you can walk straight to your targeted parts donor. The staff are helpful and friendly. All this at a fraction of the cost as a parts store.

This jalopy has alot of cars to choose from, their inventory is always growing and updated often, Alex at the front desk is a cool guy and is very helpful and knowledgeable about the yard and all its parts. My favorite jalopy to go to in all the valley because I know Ill walk away with what I need and the expert advice from Alex to get the job done right. Thank you.

I was in the yard to pickup a used spare tire for my sons jeep. I call the office to see what they would charge for a stock Cherokee wheel and tire. The guy who answered the phone asked if it was an aluminum wheel? I answered yes. He said that it would be $25. I wheeled the wheel and tire from the all the way in the back to the front. When they rang me up he said that it would be $45. I said that I just called and they said it was $25. This is not the first time that this has happened. 😠

Review №42

Very very clean yard well organized easy to find the cars you need. I really like the web page you can lookup their cars on hand inventory before going. I have been there a dozen times and over all was quite satisfied with the yard. I have been to a dozen junk yards this is the cleanest and safest environment for picking of any I have been too.With that said dealing with difficult people outweighs alot of the benefits.The man with the longer almost 70s style hair is hard to deal with. I spent 2 hours and about only about 80.00 there Monday. I mistakenly grabbed the wrong plastic engine cover. So I went back Tuesday at 5:25. I walk in at 5:28. Wait about 2-3 min watching one employee ring up customers while another had his head buried working on something below the desk. He says the yard is close. I said I have been here about 5 min cant I just grab an engine cover. His response No you havent I saw you walk in. He then shows me a clock in their wall that is about 3 min fast. Yard is closed!. I asked why are you the hardest guy to work with here. His reply I am not. I am thinking wow there is someone worse than this guy. Maybe he is the famed Tim everyone writing 1 star review complains about. I reply you are by far the worst I have been here about 15 times in 2 years you are the hardest guy to work with. That is my experience weather you agree or not. Whoever he is needs some people skills. He did not get upset but he just come across rude and condescending.Again all I needed to do is pick up a plastic engine cover and two snap on trunk struts row 31 or 33. I was there before 5:30 and would have been done well before 6:00. I knew exactly where they were.

Good place to check out when looking for things for my make, year model ride. Half dozen or so examples there to pick from. Prices are fair. One dollar entry fee includes some items to pick. Check the sign when entering. Fairly nice helpful staff. Not too busy on weekends with a short wait time to sign in and get a list of vehicles with lot location.

Review №48

I have used these guys many, many times to pick up used parts for projects or customer vehicles. To date I have pulled and used 6 GM truck LS based engines to replace broken ones or to use in hot rods. The price of the engines after tax and a $50 core charge is $231. I get up to the front to pay for the one I pulled this morning and the counter guy says its $301. The price list on the wall hasnt changed yet I get gouged for an extra $70 because the counter guy says this engine is more desirable. Price list on the wall states domestic small block V8 engines are all the same price. Looks like bait and switch to me.

As you walk in the front door, make sure you look at the price on the board to the west/right. It tells you the price on every part. Helpful staff, spent about 4 hours looking at parts/trucks. Everything that you will need is there.

Review №51

The gentleman who answered the phone was SO rude and not a bit of help. I explained I was handicapped and needed to find out some info, his response was whelp can’t help ya, you just have to come in yourself and look for the tire I was looking for. I was told they could pull something like this up on a computer to at least give me an idea. What’s sad about this, is that I remember love going to their locations Nampa/Boise with my Dad when I was little. Did you all get to big for your britches and can’t help a 53 year old handicapped lady? Shame on you

Review №53

This is a great car graveyard to pick up parts and pieces and save tons of time and money- They have a good system of organizing and cataloging Vehicles so they can give you a quick list of locations and you can easily check for the particular parts you’re looking for. It is a do it yourself place but if you don’t mind getting a little dirty you can replace anything on your car inside and out for peanuts! Besides being very practical it is a lot of fun to check out all the vehicles - It is kept as safe and orderly as you could ask for in this business which I appreciate as well.

Review №54

Staff is friendly when it comes to buying parts but it comes to buying a car from you have to deal with the biggest Idiot known to man a guy by the name Tim, he is gives Idiot a new meaning, so if you are selling your junk car take it somewhere else..I went and Liked all of you rude and bad customer service reviews for you, You can choose to take a blind eye, but the writing on the wall is clear, I will NEVER do business with that Manager and encourage EVERYONE TO GO ELSE WHERE!!!! Bait and switch on all the pricing in and out of that place plus dealing with Tim, Totally NOT worth it..sell a few undercut double charged parts and get that dude some People skills and Customer Service training..

Review №56

They have decent prices if you can find what you want. Tons of cars spanning decades of makes and models. They dont inventory trim or which engine and drivetrain each vehicle has, so have to spend time walking the lot to look at each vehicle. We spent an hour today and didnt find half what I was looking for since none of the cars had the configuration I needed. The admission is good for the day at all sites, so I could go to the Garden City or Boise location without paying the $1 admission again. The admission includes all the fuses and screws you could find.

Review №58

Friendly staff. Fuses and small items are usually free! It would be nice if they had loaner tools, even if u had to pay to use them. They give a list of rows that have vehicles with interchangeable parts with whatever vehicle you are fixing. The dollar entry fee is affordable. The rows are a bit confusing at first but once u realize they are numbered side by side its not hard to find what you are looking for.

Review №59

The yards closing time was 6pm. I showed up at 5:29 and they said that entrance to the yard closed at 5:30. Wouldnt let me in the yard because I was upset. Who wouldnt be? I drove all the way across town.I knew exactly what I was looking for and where, but the manager didnt care. I go here all the time. Or now, at least I used to. Customer service has gone downhill, and the response to this review shows exactly that.

Very good selection of cars, pretty good prices, they pay decent for your cars too, the staff are helpful for the most part, but you gotta come with experience and knowledge, you gotta know how to take the parts off and you need to know what tools you need. Come prepared. If you do come prepared you’ll have a good time and get some good parts

Its a good place to get cheap parts. However, you better know how to do the work yourself. You will have to remove the part from the vehicle, as well as install it on the vehicle youre trying to fix.

Review №66

I called this location twice in the last 3 months about the same vehicle being sold to them. The first time they said they would pay $100. And then yesterday they said $50 and no more because the price of scrap was down. The man I spoke to spoke down to me rudely. I made a call to the Caldwell location and the lowest they offered me depending on the damage was $100. I ended up with 3x more at the Caldwell location for my vehicle and with great customer service. Same company. Customer service is a bit shy of acceptable on Garrity. Worthwhile to drive another 10 minutes if they will have your part on hand.

Awesome. I was preparing myself for the typical employee I hate my job bs. The two that were there were awesome. One was an older guy and the other had a red beard. I was an automotive retail manager for 27 years and would have been delighted to have them work for me. He asked if I needed anything else and if I would like to go back in the yard to look around for other parts when he knew I didnt need anything else. Wow! Fantastic customer service. Thank you!

Pretty expansive yard with all kinds of inventory. You will have to pull the parts yourself, but that is part of why it is so inexpensive to buy parts here. Customer service is good and as with all jalopy jungles they can find out if the car you are looking for is at one of their other yards.

The lady that runs it should be put behind bars.She had no respect for anyone. And tries to take the law into her own hand... And thinks she can put her hands on me... And accusing me of stealing. When infact it was one of my disabilities... And why its ok to make her own prices for yard items that are different from the other pick a parts... Sounds like she needs the money any way she can get it.

I found my year, make and model here with obsolete parts and it was awesome! I like old cars and sometimes parts are very hard to come by so when I called and found out they had my year of car I rushed there to get what I needed. I heard that they crush cars around 95 or older so thank you SO much for not crushing it just becasue its an 88, I really needed those parts.Also, they have a HUGE organized yard with lots of cars. Highly recommended!

Review №89

I have been coming here for years. The majority of the staff has worked there for a while and I generally get descent enough service. Lets be clear, Im not walking through the door and expecting them to come running to greet me or anything. I even buy the convenient annual pass every year as it saves me money.When you walk through the front door there is an easy to read, laminated, giant pricing list on the side wall. Here you can clearly see the price of the parts before you go out into the junk yard and pull them. I have always been charged according to this pricing list, until today. I spent hours out in the yard walking cars and pulling parts only to come inside to pay and be told the price of one item was double the price listed on the wall because the one seat was electric. I asked the cashier if the different electric seat price was reflected on the pricing sheet on the wall, he stated it was. I walked over and asked him to show me. He could not as there was no different price listed for electric seats, or anything stated to charge double the amount for one seat and not the other. I then asked for a manager, the cashier pointed at another guy and said we can ask him but he isnt going to charge you less the other guy said prices subject to change thats all that matters. I told them that would make sense if they had pricing originally distinguishing between electric and non electric bucket seats or if they just chose to raise the price of bucket seats all together, but that wasnt the case here and they needed to honor the pricing they have on their wall. They refused. So I left hours of hard work sitting there because I REFUSE TO BE SCAMMED!I called the Boise location and spoke to a female manager who gave me the excuse of the pricing board is old and outdated, we have ones being printed right now, but we havent changed them yet. Besides, the boards are only used as a guide not as actual pricing Are you kidding me? How is a Giant list up on the wall of almost every part on a vehicle possible followed by an exact price not a pricing list? Again I have been coming here for years and have never been charged anything different then what was on this giant pricing sheet on the wall until today.I informed her I would not go into any other store and purchase items off the shelf with 1 stated price only to get to the register and have the cashier charge me whatever they wanted, this doesnt make sense at all. Apparently everyone has to ask what the part will cost now before they pull them because the huge list on the wall that says PRICING doesnt mean anything at all according to management.Obviously this business is headed in the wrong direction and I will be taking my business elsewhere.
