Review

Honestly been coming here for years Has been a while but I called to make sure my number was still good and they said it never goes bad once you have it. great place for recycling metals batteries fair prices gave me more for old golf cart/car batteries where as I only would get a store credit at the auto stores and sure as heck beat driving back to the store for a $5 core charge on one of the batteries.. I feel like I got more from taking them here For all the reviews saying negative things Cut these people some slack. Theres only what 2-3 of them running the show? Will be back thank you for all your hard work Liberty and team!

Not sure why the bad reviews. My experience was great. The guy in the back helped me with things and explained what went where. The girl out front gave me way more money than I was expecting for my junk. I'll be back again.

I had a trailer load of stainless steel with one piece of galvanized on part of a hood vent and he said the whole load was steel. And that wasn't the first time they tried to screw me. Watch the spanish guy he's a crook!!

An out-of-service violation at an inspection does not establish a current carrier-wide shutdown or present safety status.
