PADNOS Livonia Recycling Center - Recycling Center in Livonia, MI

Called around for someone to buy my 2003 Chevy Tahoe for scrap. Read a lot of reviews about various companies not honoring their quoted prices. Seems it can be a pretty shifty business. But I called this company yesterday and got a cash quote for $600. They showed up on schedule today got the vehicle up on a flatbed in short order and paid me with 6 crisp $100 bills. The driver Steve was easy going professional and just plain friendly. I couldn't be more satisfied with the whole transaction.

Had 2 scrap vehicles hauled out and everything went very smooth thanks to Austin and Dejaun. Very polite courteous great communication and worked around my schedule. Highly recommend them!

Would be five stars if not for crane operator here. I was doing 20mph exiting yard once and he berated me like a child. Screaming that he tells me everyday not to speed. I only even go there once every two weeks. Another time getting in my truck to leave I lit up a smoke; it’s almost a reflex for me at this point. Again he screamed and yelled at me about not smoking and how he’s told me 100 times not to which is not true. I was unloading schedule 80 black pipe he called the manager saying I was dumping pots and pans. I understand it’s a scrap yard and he’s not going to look professional or clean but I don’t expect to be sworn at threatened and belittled as a regular customer. I have a good relationship with the guy there whose job it is to enforce the rules. Actually I have a good relationship with everyone else there; sad one bad apple spoils the bunch. I’ve been going here a decade since it was GLR.
