Super friendly and kind people. Kinda sucks that they have a scale that isn't accurate. I have weighed my metals on 2 different scales before coming in. Of the 2 visits I have made to this place I find that both times I have lost a significant amount of weight compared to when I weighed the metals at home. Kinda sucks when a good chunk of your time goes to waste. I suggest they look into recalibration. I definitely feel cheated.

Went to get rid of a few things from my garage and didn’t anticipate on the process being quick and easy as it was. GREAT customer service!!! Everyone was so helpful and knew their job. I can tell it’s teamwork amongst those men. Referred my father and he also had a very friendly easy process. The 1 hour drive was worth it! We both be visiting this yard again !
