People here are friendly. I take back the low rating review. Sure they locked me inside with my truck after closing for the day on a Saturday in June 2024 but by Monday everyone was very nice friendly and glad to make amends. Spending the weekend inside the scrap yard want so bad (in my imagination). As it happened the Xenia police were able to let me out with my truck after probably less than an hour.

They won’t accept air conditioning components like copper radiators and compressors without a signed letter saying you recovered the Freon. Never heard of this before. The one across town will and they pay more anyway.
