I called in today to setup a appointment for a engine and a transfer case, good sales service. sounds like a great plan so far.

I was told by the local transmission shop that my vehicle needed the transmission replaced. The transmission shop quoted me somewhere between $1,800 and $2,500 just for the replacement, not including labor!

I could not afford that so I needed to locate a good, used transmission that was also affordable. Southwest Auto Recyclers were able to provide me one at GREAT value for only $650. Their mechanic, Mark, even checked out my car first to give me a second opinion and make sure that I even needed it replaced.

The manager, Joe, was super professional and very helpful. He made sure to run my VIN number against the replacement to make sure that it would fit for my specific vehicle. He was very transparent about everything and gave me the full run-down on where the donor vehicle came from and why it was brought to the shop in the first place. He also informed me of all the different tests they had run on the vehicle and about the condition of the transmission and other parts.

While the mechanic, Mark, will begin the transmission replacement tomorrow, and I haven’t yet received the finished service, I am quite confident that I am in good hands. Joe offers a 90-day warranty on all parts, and that made me feel that he really stands behind his products. I look forward to the finished product and I would DEFINITELY recommend this salvage/recycling yard to anyone looking for affordable, yet quality parts, and excellent customer service.

I bought a horn for a 2002 Ford Explorer for $15. They are $56 new from the dealer. They carry mostly truck and van parts for domestics from what I could tell.
