Had the opportunity to visit this metal yard. What an incredible operation!!! I was welcomed warmly and even given a tour. What really stands out that this is a team who CARES. They are passionate about how the work they do helps our planet and sets a legacy for the future. Have you seen their pink bin?!? I love that I can recycle and help others in the process.

Tried calling a million times. Everytime you press zero it literally hangs up on you or keeps playing the same menu till you are forced to hang up. I cannot comment on their services because their phone system is messed up.
