Review

9/21/2024.Going price for light steel was around $210/ton. Scrapyard nearby was on fire and wasnt taking customers. Ace dropped to $100/ton. I said to the guy at the scales " $100? Is that all?" His reply was that i could take it somewhere else....crooked as hell. Taking advantage of it customers. What sucks is i like the staff. Very friendly and helpful. The company...no
