Called for window switch for old chevy truck. 50 bucks I was told and had to prepay before they would pull. Then I get home and order new track with motor and new switch board for drivers and passenger for 47 brand new ac Delco. These guy are jow fleecing the public like the parts stores lol. Take a pass guys and save your hard earned money.

Brought 30 pounds of #1 insulated copper to them all #12 thhn or larger. Was given romex price. When I asked for my wire back to take somewhere who would pay the correct price I was told no. At the end of the day I was scammed out of some money by this place won’t be returning.

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 2 reviewed records matching USDOT 3684042 and the current registered legal/DBA name for GRAYLING AUTO RECYCLERS LLC, dated 2024-07-11 through 2025-04-15. 2 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 0 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 4 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 0; these are reported inspection-level counts. This is the observed subset of a three-year file, not a lifetime total. The history concerns the registered carrier’s vehicles/operations, not inspections of this recycling facility. An out-of-service violation at an inspection does not establish a current carrier-wide shutdown or present safety status.
