United Auto Recyclers

Do not buy used engine from them! I purchased an engine for $3996 I spent another $1,650 to someone to put it on Put on my car it was blown. I asked them for refund and labor they said you only get your money back no labor and what was their problem not mine! They should either cover labor or test their parts before selling em to people. I spoke with a manager but no words from him either!!!

Drove up from Omaha, NE to pick up an engine for a KIA Rio. I called to see if it was in stock and confirmed it was. Called back 3 days later and spoke with someone that took my name and confirmed my engine was indeed in stock and on hold for me pending my arrival. I drove up the next day to Fridley to pick up the engine. When I arrived, I was shocked when I was told the engine was sold and no longer available. Long story short, the engine had been located but cost an additional hr + wait to do so. I wish I would have caught the female manager that jumped to action to assist. She was AWESOME! She discounted the engine for my inconvenience and we were finally on our way back to Omaha. Got the engine dropped in the RIO and it fired right up purring like a kitten! The RIO is back in action! Bottom line, the pricing was worth the drive from Omaha and the manager was amazing. I have book marked this location for future needs that may come up!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. As I've gotten older the fun or more so time available is reduced in roaming a yard and pulling my own parts. Nice to make a phone call and pick up the same/next day. I've dealt with Ryan a couple times- he's good s***. Ryan is conscientious about selling parts that may be negatively affected by the accident the vehicle was in, and found me a better alternative from their stock. I'm always impressed with how quick I am able to get my parts at the pickup counter no matter how busy they are.

This is one place where you can get parts for 10 year or older vehicle, the business's primary goal is to recycle metal to generate revenue. So depending on the price of metals ( steel, aluminum) the cars are scrapped between 2 to 4 weeks when it arrives on the lot. If the market is slow you may find the vehicle on the lot for 6-8 weeks. The goal is to procure vehicles that are totaled and available for rock bottom price due to age of the vehicle The probability of finding cars newer than 10 yrs is remote due their market value being considerably higher and does not fit into the business model of this location. Depending on what you are looking for you may find a bargain on certain parts for some parts post COVID the price exceeds new price on Amazon. Few years ago their parts price was very competitive or one can say cheap. Post COVID their prices have gone up. Example - price of a new blower for some Nissan models on Amazon is $30 vs this location which is also $30.This may not be true for high end cars like Merc, BMW, Audi, and Lexus On the other hand one may find a bargain on a replacement fender, bumper, doors, wheel rims, some hard to get parts. This is very true if you are looking to match your vehicle color or style and it saves a lot of money. The price is fixed and does not depend on the brand or make. The bad there is no way to know the color(not updated online always) or damage until you step into the lot. For the price point the business is offering I think it would be too much to ask for publishing photos of the vehicle. The business has online inventory checker but is not accurate or not updated frequently. I have been to the lot only to find the vehicle I was interested in has been scrapped. The location does offer a 90 day warranty that you can buy which helps if you want to swap or replace if it is not working. As expected you will find part scavengers constantly on the lookout for parts they can salvage and sell it in the open market. So one has to be proactive to hunt. I'm not a mechanic it just so happens that I own a 14 yr and a 20 yr car and SUV, as it ages some minor issues and minor fender benders occur. I just explore my options at this lot. Lately, as stated above I explore my options on Amazon and Rockauto for pricing before burning my time to head to the lot.

Mac is the most knowledgeable parts salesman I’ve ever dealt with. Always the right part, great price and all around nice guy to deal with. One time the part was full of grease and he gave me the shirt off his back to wrap it in and keep my trunk clean. Recommend 💯

They don't care about staff family or staff safety. [Edit] let me rephrase they are selective about who they care about. Won't give raises for 2 work periods but will give the newly "rehired" employee Cameron preferential treatment.

We have always had great customer service when you deal with Mac! He’s super knowledgeable at what he does and is always willing to go above and beyond. Ask for Mac if you want the right parts!

Enjoyable experience working with Mac. Price was fair. Mac answered my questions and made sure I made the best choice for our shop. Will definitely work on transferring our business over.
