I just got my jeep picked up for scrap and I wish I would have gotten the tow truck drivers name. He was great and very patient very fast too. He definitely deserves recognition and pandos gave me the highest offer. Highly recommend

Always will to sort the copper wire and give knowledge to help when you bring your scrap in. I was in there on march 4 2025 he told me there names. So thank you so much.

I’ve been scrapping for about 20yrs. I’ve been to multiple scrap yards through out 4 states. Ive had good and bad experiences at all of them. One thing that remains important to me is honesty and integrity . I’ve been here 1 time and it was a good visit. I was informed by the girl working the scale that I had metals that were worth more $$ than I was aware of. After 20 yrs I should have known this. But I missed it and she caught it and she told me about it. She did not have to tell me about it but she did . That shows HONESTY and INTEGRITY which is very important to me. People don’t trust scrap yards . People think they ripped off at scrap yards. I recommend PADNOS to avoid those feelings of dought. I’ll be back for sure .
