Toddler boy mama here and let me tell you - this place delivered. We had a half day off school and spent an hour here watching the machines work at a distance. A good time was had by all. (Blippi Machines album for soundtrack optional).

Always get some sort of baggage when I go to this place. Good constant customer. Everytime i go i have to deal with 1 of the following. miserable customer service waiting hours to deal with a nothing problem waiting forever for inspectors to realize there's cars lined up waiting for them inspectors giving you a hard time over petty crap. Example. We can't except a 4 door long bed truck. It's too long. Why don't you use your massive machines to crush it like everything else here? I've been turned around with 15-20 minutes left to closing time when I had just about nothing to scrap. Totally inconsiderate of other people's time and work schedule.
