Best help ever found it. Pulled it and was give better. Price than the rest. 100%
I called looking for a part that had been impossible to find, and I found it here!!! The gentleman that answered my call was very polite and informed me had to look and would call right back. No more than 10 minutes later he called informing me he has the alternator!!! The price was fair and the service was awesome. Will definitely be calling in the future for any auto part needs.
Spoke to Ernie about an Oldsmobile engine that he originally stated was a solid running engine. He explained that he would do a compression & leak down test on it and we could decide on a price. He called back with no new information and we agreed on $500. I was admittedly naive enough not to ask again, but I assumed that an honest person would not try to sell me a boat anchor at a high price.It was not until I drove 1.5 hours to pick up the engine that I was finally told that this engine is seized up. I explained that I did not agree to spend $500 on an engine that doesn’t spin. Ernie was hiding someplace and I was told that I could not renegotiate with any of the other 4 staff that were present . I called him 3 times with no answer. He texted me after I had already left the junkyard with some nonsensical explanation.Don’t waste your time with these mooks unless you’re a fan of dishonest people or you hate money.
Ordered a part they said they had then waited half the day to receive it, turned out to be the wrong part, after returning the part they tried to say it was my fault for ordering wrong when in fact they just straight imputed the wrong information into their system, then they tried to refuse to give the money back instead offering the part I originally needed and when I said I didnt need that part anymore they tried to say they couldnt refund but could do in store credit to which I replied if you guys messed up my first order how am I supposed to trust you with another order... Then they wouldnt refund the entire cost, ended up only getting about 1/2 my money back from an order they screwed up (I ordered a 2003 Saturn Vue oil pan they winded up giving me a 2005 Saturn oil pan) ... Not a good place to go through, incredibly difficult to work with and it looked like they just dont even care about the customers
You will be waisting your time doing business here. I got an engine from them and they said it had 85k miles on it.I got it home and stripped it down to salin garbage engines don gett expensive and parts hire stay a way from this pleoples install and they
Awesome place to do business with! I just bought a Chevy Vortec 4.3L motor for my van that runs like new. Very helpful and prompt callbacks. I will definitely be buying more parts from them in the future. Some of these other reviewers must be horrible mechanics that ruin parts and blame others, because every time Ive dealt with them they have been very professional and stand behind the the parts they sell.
BUYER BEWAREYou will be waisting your time doing business here. I got an engine from them and they said it had 85k miles on it.I got it home and stripped it down to install and found a bad intake valve, look like it was sitting around with some water in it. They told me to bring it back and they would look at it, the guy said it would be fine, took it back home and did a leak down test on it and it was junk, not one cylinder was below 50% leakage and every one of the valves leaked probably from rusty valves.
Very prompt, and you can find quality auto parts there.
Dont trust these people! They will bate switch you. The person on the phone will tell you the minimum it should be worth is a lot then they will get there and give you hardly anything for it. I didnt have a choice at this point under circumstances but dont trust these people!
That experience over the phone. poor customer service. Lowsey business etiquacy
Over priced.used dirty parts.
Decent prices, forgot about mud hill.
Worst place bar none will never be back here again I hope they can sleep at night stealing 247$ from a low income family
The Nicest People I have encountered at a wrecking yard working there. Excellent prices.
I think that this place has auction every week if they have cars and or rvs etc. Come an hour before auction make sure you have at least five hundred or so its a hundred entry fee that if you buy one that goes towards the bill.
Very good place
We called Federal Way auto wrecking and found they had a vehicle with parts we needed. Arrived to find another vehicle was on top of it and forklift driver was not available to move the car. We attempted to leave a number but were refused. Called again on Monday and were told no driver. Gave up and ordered from the dealer. 🤷♀️
They are friendly and your able too actually negotiate with some reasonable pplBye far my favorite wrecking yard to go to hands down.
Very responsive I got a window for an Astro van for $160 it was the right one
Decent nice service
Fantastic outfit to work with. Very responsive to information and cost requests. Lots of options on an engine I was after. They even deliver! Also great post purchase support. Even came out to help me diagnose if the motor I got would work! Will use again :-)
Dont waste your time with this place. They will try to get over on paying out for your vehicle. Then talk to you like theyre doing you a favor when they will get more money then what they offer you for the car. I got way more then they offered.
I bought a motor for my 1996 Astro van from Federal Way Auto Wrecking and it was ready the next day. It took my mechanic a while to take my motor out and get the replacement in but I am thrilled with how it runs! The man who sold the motor was great to work with and he even called a couple weeks after the purchase to see how it was going. I couldnt be happier! Theyve got my business for all my old car needs.
Small but great service
I am tired of dealing with this company. They have sold me 2 parts that were complete garbage. I first got a motor from them and it lasted 6 miles before it blew up on me. The owner wouldnt do anything because he frankly doesnt care about taking care of customers. I went back to them this last week to let them redeem themselves but they failed majorly again. I purchased another motor from them and arranged everything on the phone to have it picked up by my friend/mechanic. The owner clearly never told me that the motor needed a new head or i wouldnt have never bought the motor. I use the word motor in quotations because the owner clearly doesnt know the complete components of a working motor. When a customer clearly asks is it a good working motor and you say yes then the customer should be getting a good working block and a good working head thus putting 2 and 2 together a good motor not one that spews out a milkshake when we test it. These people are a rip off and they cause more headaches than solutions. Buyer beware
Gave me a good deal on some parts
The person who attended us he was really kind thank you
The guy is a liar !! He will tell you one price on the phone and completely charge you something different when you get there.. Would not recommend this place too anyone !!
Had what I needed and did not keep me on hold forever
This place is terrible i bought a power steering pump that they decided to tell me they cleaned up by spray painting the whole thing. They kept reassuring me that they tested it and that it was good but they lied and didnt do anything other than spray paint it and charge me a ridiculous amount of money, $88 to be exact i could of bought a brand new one for $20 more. This place is the biggest rip off dont do business with them they will scam you and try to convince you that you got a good deal
Decent Yard, High Prices Tho
Pass on by folks. Im a local shop owner here in Portland Oregon. I was shopping for a used transmission for one of my customers, and ran into this company from an industry information site. Not only was the customer service rep rude and unresponsive, the transmission they had quoted me was twice the price for similar transmissions in the area.For being in business for 50 years, I would assume you wouldnt hang up on your customers after having them object to your grossly over priced transmission.
Best prices and best place to replace a spare.
I had an engine installed by Federal Way auto wrecking and they claimed I would be very happy and satisfied with their work . The work they did was inferior, it leaked oil from just about every place imaginable . I took the vehicle to another reputable mechanic and they confirmed that the installation was poor. The transmission was not adequately bolted to the engine causing the fly wheel to crack.I took them to small claims court and won a judgement. If you have had an issue with Federal Way auto wrecking please write the Attorney Generals office I did and they can be a big help and its free.
Got what I needed
Decent prices, nice people.
Awful customer service, we bought a motor for $900 and it doesnt work, they told us it is in great condition and it works. After multiple times trying to speak to them they keep trying to get away saying they cant replace it or they are closed. They Wont take it back or refund us, basically stole our money. Scammers.
Charged me $500 for a transmission with a warranty, took it to the shop they themselves suggested and their own technician said what they sold me was useless garbage. They employ drug addicts. I will see them in court. Definitely arson.
Dont do any business with them scammers I repeat hey are scammers they ll take ur money and ull not get the part just run around
Purchased a transmission from this firm. Owner could not guarantee its condition as he had no facility to test it. He said that if it was not good that he would refund my money. I installed the tranny which apparently had a couple stuck valves due to its being on the shelf for a period of time. I removed the transmission, returned it to Federal Way Auto Wrecking and the man refunded my purchase price and appoligized that it did not work as it should. Very friendly and honest throughout the transaction. I would definitely do business with this firm again.Sincerely,El Tigre
I just called and Ernie save me almost $400 with his knowledge and honesty about the part I needed this is a great company they just earned a customer for life if you want my opinion shop Federal Way Auto Wrecking and ask for Ernie The Last of a Dying Breed
Before you pull any part make sure you get an accurate price . This junk yard rips you off . You ask them for a price and when it’s time to pay they change it . By the way the workers here look like they are tweekers never again .
Good prices, nice selection
Good stuff
They had my part. Muddy smelly dangerous dead cars just like a junkyard aught to have.
Nice guys.
The owner of the business lives in Arizona, the calls are forwarded to him and he then starts his con.I use to work for this place and I watched this guy sell water to a drowning person, just keep this in mind that when you buy a motor and a transmission from this place you need to add 100,000 to what you are told.You have been warned, shop around before you pay double of what the part is new.
Always blow me off when i call and say they will call back but dont
After hrs.party was cool.
Fast
Mutual
I am a mechanic, the person on the phone tried to tell me that the item i saw on amazon probably wouldnt work for my car, and doubled the price that i found online for the equivalent part, while trying to tell me what was wrong with my window with no knowledge of symptoms, and didnt believe me when i told him i just needed the motor.
Charge too much
Very bad service
Friendly
Rude
