The fella running the place was knowledgeable and personable as we're the cats who live there.Parts were as described and priced fairly, huge selection, highly recommend.

I need a whole car that they have in their junkyard. They flat out refuse to sell it. I have never known a business that profits off of selling you their products to not sell you their products. The price quoted for the individual parts needed was so high that I literally went out and bought a running driving car of the same year for less. All I want to do is fix up my car and they have the parts I need. If they offered a reasonable price I would gladly pay them for it but they apparently cant set a price that is cheap enough to be worth it. I will literally go out of state trailer another car back here paying for rental fees for the trailer, gas, time, and the price of the car and still save money in comparison.

Yeah, these guys aren't exactly friendly, helpful, or really of any overall decently respectable demeanor. Had to call about three different places before I got the phone number to some stranger who requested me to send him a photo of the part that I needed even though I knew what it was and knew the specifications. He would only except a text message to Photo and that was how he was going to find it. Turns out they had what I needed, but didn't give me a price until I got there. When I got there I knew what the new part would cost and they basically quoted me the same price on a used part. I figured this meant that there was some room for negotiation, but the second I open my mouth the guy over spoke me and said that he could get it for brand-new $100 more right now if I want it. Even though that's not what they cost.Honestly I really wouldn't of even mind paying that same price if they had had the part ready to go when I got there. But no of course not. Had to awkwardly standing in the lobby for a good 30 to 40 minutes with a cranky guy at the front desk not wanting to negotiate have a conversation or even egg knowledge my existence until the part finally came out from one of the yard workers. Decent part, but way overpriced and just absolutely deplorable customer service, which is a pretty low bar to reach as a junkyard.Just a note, if you do end up buying parts from there, they will often write BAP standing for Bloomington auto parts on each part that they give you. If you're not doing the work yourself make sure that your mechanic knows that it's Bloomington auto parts logo, and doesn't say "bad" because it could easily be mistaken with the hand writing quality of the yard worker.In all reality, just avoid this place. Unless it is your only option for the part you need don't even bother trying to deal with these guys. They're unhelpful, unwelcoming and just overall cranky. Also did I mention how overpriced they are?Better off at a AutoZone or other new parts store. Especially because you know that it's going to be A better quality part for about the same price, and usually will come with a lifetime warranty which of course junkyard parts don't. I don't even buy parts here for my project car let alone my daily driver anymore after two bad experiences.

Most helpful place in Bloomington I broke down and even though They didn t have the part, they walked me through it.

Way too expensive! Shop elsewhere.I called and asked if they had an aluminum rim for my 2004 Corolla. I'm working on replacing the junk donut wheel. So I don't care what it looks like, as long as it's aluminum.The clerk quoted a whopping $100 price, plus exchanging an aluminum rim, which I do not have!That is just highway robbery. I told him that was too expensive.

I see alot of negative reviews but my experience was positive. Their insurance doesn't let you walk the yard on your own or pull your own parts. They have several older squarebody chevys. The parts I bought were very reasonably priced

Asking price for salvage transmission was $500 higher than the next highest I found, and was equal to the price of a freshly rebuilt part. Also wanted a core charge not typical for used parts.

Charged almost as much as the same part brand new, wasn't even from the same car, was rusty and had rude service. I would not refer anyone here

Whoever answers the phone for this business is a real jerk. Did not show any bit of respect nor did he seem to care about my earning my business. I guess I was bothering him when I called to inquire about parts and their business. I wouldn't do business with them if they were giving it away for free.
