I want to thank Jim for helping me turn a horrible situation to a positive one.Jim offered me the best and fair amount for my vehicle especially for its condition. Chad came to the storage facility to pick up the vehicle. Chad went above and beyond with the exchange of the vehicle. I highly recommend City Auto Wreckers. Thank you Jim and ChadKim Walter

Our 2005 Honda Accord died and we decided to junk it instead of trying to sell it. I talked with Jim this morning and he sent Chad out this afternoon. Both Jim and Chad were friendly, professional, and answered our questions. We were paid top dollar for the car which we appreciated. Well definitely be recommending them to our friends.

We recently used City Auto Wreckers to scrap a used van; both Jim and Chad were extremely helpful. Great turnaround & price. We were extremely happy and will definitely call them in the future.

Really unprofessional I came to pick up an item I ordered. Walked up to the desk but he seemed busy eating and sent me to another person. After that person got off he pushed me off to yet another person. After going through 4 people I was finally able to tell them what I neededed. They dont know how to speak to customers. Better off using another place with a wider selection.

I attended the event they hold every Saturday where you can pull parts yourself. Not a huge selection and the cars were really packed to the point where it was difficult to move around. Very disorganized and no online inventory. U-Pull-it down the street was much better.

Our daughter’s car died just outside of Aurora, IL. Jim Coulter was super helpful and efficient. He made the exchange go smoothly and painless! Would recommend City Auto Wreckers to anyone!

Way overpriced. Went in there for a seat belt that is $95 brand new. They wanted $75 for a used one. No thanks.

I had a very poor first experience with this company. When I could not find the part I was looking for on their website on December 20, 2017, I called them and was connected to a saleswoman. She explained that for parts that they do not have listed online, they open the yard on Saturdays for customers to search for the part on junk vehicles. She told me I could come on on Saturday (DEC 23rd) between 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM to look for the part I needed. I thanked her and said I would be in.On Saturday the 23rd, I prepared the tools I would need, dressed in layers and work clothes for the cold weather, and drove 20 min. to their location. I found an empty parking lot and an 8.5 x 11 paper posted on the door saying they were closed for the holidays.All they had to do to avoid this was let me know they would be closed, or to update their website and Google Map listing so that when I searched to find directions, I would have been notified they were closed. Instead they needlessly wasted 1.5 hours of my time, and created an experience that detracts from their brand and reputation.In this digital 21st century, I dont see how businesses can survive by treating customers and prospects this way. All I know if that if I treated my customers this way, I would not stay in business very long.

Review №12

I never write a review, but the poor customer service and how this establishment is run is unprofessional. They are disorganized and the people they have picking up their cars are apparently dishonest. The man who came to pick up my car said the converter was cut when that wasnt the truth. They dont give you a clear window of when they are coming and overall arent any good. I could deal with you saying you cant take the car if there is honesty but this place doesnt have it and the man who answers the phone is incredibly rude. Find any other service but this one.

Jim Coulter at City Auto Wreckers was incredibly helpful when I needed to get rid of my old car that wasn’t safe to drive anymore. He offered me the best price and was incredibly flexible in accommodating me and my family when it came to the logistics of dropping off the vehicle. While I hope my next car still has many years left on it— I know where I’ll go when I put my car to rest. — L Ngidiwe

Called Saturday to schedule a pick up for today (monday) was told late morning pick up... 1 pm comes around and didnt hear anything so I called and they said I was next on the list and to give it about an hour... well 4 hours later I call again and they said their guy isnt back yet so they had a different towing company call me and they told me they wouldnt be here until 6-8pm... no one could tell me what was going on but the lady who picked up the car was nice enough to explain everything and not just wanna end the conversation... whole day of doing nothing down the drain

They will not show when they say then the girl who answers the phone will keep saying yeahhh i dont know but I can reschedule you when you ask what it is she dont know she says his schedule. Lol when you reschedule he wont show again and they say its because theyre busy towing cars. Then they say they will call him to see if he can go then call you back. When you call two hours they say they went there and they are going to have to pass on it because they dont want to go back out there.

This is the best junkyard in the area they have some of the best deals on parts weather your looking to fix your car or upgrade your base model. Also have a few cars that are almost impossible to find. Thank you for helping keep our cars on the road a little longer. Thanks Jim for all your help in the Chrysler crossfire community.

I tried to call this company to junk my car. A man received the call said: city auto...then I am trying to greet and introduce myself, before I can finish a sentence, that man said: hold on! then it is music for more than 20 mins before I disconnected the phone. There is no one call back then...Very rude phone person....

Review №37

Worst customer service! called to confirm the part I needed was there and how much it was jose told me it was $75.00... get there the next day and the rim is not there ... after 15 min of looking then they found one for 100.00 more then the price quoted... wouldnt honor it and frank the manager said sorry and hung up!! never go there unless you want to be taken for your money!

Called good Ole City Auto Wreckers first about junking my 2000 Buick Century. Then wasted my time calling 4 other places. City was the only one with a definitive price if i drove my car there for scrap. Then I got there & they gave me more than I was quoted over the phone. VERY Happy & thank you Jim Coulter for your help in making it simple & easy.

Needed s heater control unit for my 2014 hyndai accent. Bought part. Went to replace it but somehow not the right part. Went in and received store credit. Jim at the credit counter went extra mile to check and figure out why it was not working. Turns out I needed the part for a 2015 model.Heater control unit works great now.Thanks Jim.

My Volvo S60 engine was diagnosed with a rod knock. Volvo said it would cost 13k-15k to replace. So I started calling around. 2nd call I made was here. I spoke with Jim and sent him pictures and a few hours later he told me how much he could give. Next day I had a check for $800 more than I asked for. I was really surprised. They picked up the car at no additional charge. Very easy smooth process. Helped me out a lot. Thanks!

Horrible customer service. I called to schedule a pickup for Saturday. On Friday I received a call that the car would be picked up that day. Someone called after the pickup window to say they were running late and would I prefer them to come later or Saturday morning. I agreed to Saturday morning. Saturday morning came and went with a no call no show.

I had to get rid of a totaled car which was at a tow yard, Jim was fantastic in that he called the yard and arranged for the tow yard to pay me for the car and he would pay the tow yard when he picked up the car the next day. I did not have to take an other day off work, pay another day for storage, was paid on the spot and left with the matter taken care of. Thanks Jim.

Review №89

Called and asked for an item in a specific color, and was told that that particular part was available. Asked again to confirm the color, and was told the item was the color I was looking for, which was black. Than I asked if I would be able to return the item if for whatever reason the color did not match, and was told that I would be able to do so. So I placed the order, and in a few days drove 4 hours to pick up the item. When I got there, the item that I received was grey and not black, like I was told it would be. So that I told them that I wanted a refund. In response to that, I was told that I could either get store credit or get part of the money back. Basically I was lied to twice, and had my time wasted. Would not recommend to anyone. Poor customer service and just overall handle to deal with, when there other places that wont BS you at every turn.

What do you do when your husband is deployed, your stepson has borrowed your van for a year, promptly wrecks it and you live 2 days drive away in another state? Call Jim at City Auto Wreckers. He was very helpful and walked me through everything I needed to do, and within 48 hours my mangled van was picked up from my stepson’s grandmother’s driveway - much to the relief of her HOA.Considering the state of my poor Caravan, (it now resembling a pug dog after colliding head on with a guard rail) I was quite happy to receive a payment for the van as well. It was more than enough compensation for a vehicle with very few usable front end parts.In all seriousness I had called two other places before trying City Auto Wreckers and they were not interested in helping my strange situation. By the time I spoke to Jim I was getting worried I was going to have to fly up and take care of this in person. I was so relieved to have found Jim and very thankful to him for his help.
