DO NOT GET YOUR CAR SERVICED HERE. I wanted to upgrade my gear ratio from a 2.73 open to a 4.10 trac loc. I provided all necessary parts which included an installation kit. I dropped the car off at 10am and was told the car would be finished that afternoon. By the general labor estimate book its 5 hour job. Keep that in mind... At 12 I was called and told that they didnt know that there were bearings involved and that it would take a day longer and cost more. First, Why dont they know that? I knew that. Second why am I getting charged extra for something routine? So day two comes and goes, I become impatient around 430pm because I hadnt heard from anyone despite my best attempts by calling constantly and leaving a message. Finally at 545 a tech called and said that they hadnt installed it correctly and that they have to take it all out again, saying "well for sure have it done tomorrow morning" Which is day three. Day three comes and by 430 I cant stand it, I call to find out whats up. Same deal, multiple calls, multiple messages yet no response. Finally at 530 pat (the owner) answers and says that its almost done. Doesnt know how long but... So an hour later he calls its done. I have to line up a ride so I tell them ask how long theyll be there, they say theyre leaving so I have to pay over the phone. Idiot like I am I do it. Day four (first full day with the car) I open the trunk to remove the old parts only to see they didnt install the traction loc! Now Im angry. Car people know that high number gears need posi traction/traction loc. Its a Saturday so yep. Anyway now Im checking their work because Ive lost all faith. They left a magnetic tool collector under my car and the whole differential housing is leaking. Theres a howling noise at anything over 30mph and something like a weird shimmy at 70 and it just doesnt feel right driving it. Those of you that know this repair/upgrade Im in about $1200 parts and labor. For an incomplete job and poorly done one at that. Not to mention that when a differential is installed incorrectly the transmission will pay the price. Theyve ruined my confidence in my once trusty ride, ruined my $400 gears and installation kit, cost me two days of work and I paid them to this. Stay away. If you chose to keep reading its 3 weeks later. They charged me an additional $255 to install the part they didnt understand, theyve quite literally had my car more than I have in the last month. I will say this for pat though, hell make sure its right. However if youre like everyone else and need your car I wouldnt recommend. Smh. Silly "mechanics" took a job they didnt understand. 5/5/16. Differtial burnt up, metal on metal at 70. 70mph-30mph in a split second- I almost died, cars hit the ditch to avoid me. The a holes wouldnt even send a tow.

I would not recommend this yard whatsoever and heres why: 1.) The person running the desk was not only arrogant, but rude and condescending to my friend and I. He questioned by automotive ability, knowledge and insulted me when I attempted to negotiate his obscene price for a part that is ubiquitous. 2.) The yard we completely disorganized and poorly structured. I have been to many yards in my life and this one appeared to be organized by someone with the cognitive ability of a banana. Very difficult to find what you are looking for. 3.) The gentleman (I use the term loosely) at the desk went as far as to attempt to attempt to justify his high priced part by stating that I could go to another salvage yard in Stillwater and I would pay a much higher price and be forced to buy attached pieces I wouldnt need. This is a lie. 4.) I have done business with Sharp Auto Parts in Stillwater, MN and they are very professional. Very respectful and have fair prices. I wouldnt waste your time with this JUNK yard. Youre better off with a broken car than buying anything from this yard.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR THERE FOR REPAIR! WILL GET RIPPED OFF. I paid for the electrical work to be done on my car and was lied to from day one. I was quoted one price then when I asked for an invoice the price was waaaay different. I had to have my boyfriend talk to him (Pat) to resolve that issue, and he still took me for 15 bucks on the price for labor (the original quote was 60, he tried to charge me 90 then after my boyfriend talked to him he changed it to 65. what a load). Being a woman didnt help the matter. The shop leader (Pat) is old school and doesnt deal with females. Uh...My car my money. His repair of my electrical problem is a joke. Im stuck going some place else and getting the work done proper. I was also afraid to say anything because I was truly worried about my car. This Pat guy is a complete liar and will cheat you. Good Job Pat. Im thinking his true calling is a walmart greeter. WAIT. Never mind on that one, the walmart greeters are kind and dont try to rip people off. He should just go back to being a troll and give up

Had them sell a truck for me and it took 6 months to finally get the money for it. Kept getting told hed have it for me next week, so I finally drove out there and the girl who was there wrote me a check for the remainder of what they owed me. The owner was never around when I called thats why I just drove out there.

Great service and pricing! Repair work is always done in a timely fashion and the work is fantastic. I appreciate that they look for ways to save me money by using parts from the salvage yard when possible. Perfect, given that I have older vehicles with high mileage.

This is a great place to get parts. You pay $2 to enter the u-pull-it yard and the price for putting in a little elbow grease is amazing. I usually get parts for 25% of what a new one is. Other yards charge 50% or more.
