I was looking for a place that purchased old vehicles, I called and they were here within an hour. Walter was friendly and professional. I will definitely refer them to people in need. Thank you.

They've always been polite and helpful. If you make good rapport with them and are a regular customer buying parts they really start to discount them after you've been going a while continue to do business with them. They have lately been paying higher than all the other yards for scrap across the board. At least from what I have turned in. There is no fee to enter their yard . They are now requiring a mask in the office area but once you get outback in the yard where it's open you're not required to wear a mask at this time.they have a massive selection of vehicles to go through and find parts. They also have handcrafted scrap sculptures they are really great looking and innovative. They also have been putting down a considerable amount of gravel and fill so the yard is a lot cleaner than other yards in the area. Another bonus is they are open 7 days a week.

I recently called Archie's Auto recycling to ask for a part and they had it. I told them I was 85 miles away and they held the part until I got there. When I arrived they were very very nice people to work with got me in and out of there within 5 minutes and assured me that if anything was wrong with it that I still have 90 days to bring it back in its warranty. Archie's Auto recycling is one of the best places I've ever worked with. This was the first time I had ever been there and I certainly will go back there.

Paul’s in Gary was pretty decent. I went there to find parts and while they didn’t have many later model vehicles in the yard, I found all the part i needed for an OBS I’ve been putting together and the little lady at the window is very nice and easy on the eyes

Their parts list is a joke. They still mark the prices as they want if it looks new it costs more . The last 3 times I went there. The parts list says one thing they charge another thing. It's argument 10 bucks more 15 bucks more it's a joke If you want to argue or pay more than list it's a good place to go.

Only cause you have to give a star to review. I ordered from here because of the mechanic I was working with. The transmission didn't even work when installed. They sent another one after a ton of mix ups and way more fun(sarcasm) than necessary. I got another mechanic to try and install the second one they sent. When the mechanic tried to install he discovered it was cracked. They then tried to claim the mechanic dropped the transmission. Luckly the mechanic had video recordings of the shop and shared them with me and the guys at I-80. Who then came up with a brilliant(sarcasm) plan to swap out the cases of the transmission. The mechanic didn't specialize in this so after reaching out to mechanics that did I ran into one that had had this same issue with I-80 who made it clear to me to get my money back. I was informed that I-80 refuses to refund when they know they can't provide adequate parts then hope you get frustrated and move on. That shop recommended what he had to do which was initiate a chargeback. I'm doing that now and will take legal action if need be. But this is not a place to get parts. I've been buying used parts for years and have never been swindled like this before. Don't shop here for large crucial car parts.
