I stopped going here years ago. Terrible attitudes. Do you like feeling unwelcome? If so then go here

I went here yesterday for my 1st time. I was a little reluctant after reading all the bad reviews, but it's the closest scrap yard. I brought 3 contractor bags of crushed cans for some extra money for the kid's piggy banks. I followed the obvious sign of where to drop cans off. After getting the guys attention he had me dump the cans on the belt, and gave me a paper with some scribbling on it. Took it to the drop box at the main office which has a sign, and drove off with about $25. I've been to some scrap yards that were more personable, but they weren't rude and it was an easy transaction, so I can't complain. I'll be going back.

Had the wrong part when called for alternator, then today decided to return the alternator and was refused a refund and was told the alternator was never purchased from this business even tho I had brought a receipt. If you want New/Used parts go to Mommaerts Auto! Great prices and will refund for un used parts!!

Owner Bernie Smits is a braggart and full of himself. I patronized this place once, despite the negative comments, which proved true. All I wanted to do was drop of bags of aluminum cans. Rude staff, poor directions as to where to go and what to do. Staff seems to not enjoy being there; I would surmise this is a trickle-down effect from having to work for Smits. The owner also owns Pedal Pushers Antiques in Denmark. While I enjoy antique shops of all kinds, I was given his number by staffers to contact him about railroad artifacts and he was quite rude. Items in the store are mostly overpriced and stock seldom changes. BUT---Smits bragged to my face about how the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad (now Canadian National) ran through the backyard of his salvage yard and how he had stolen stuff off the railroad after derailments!! WOW!! Can't believe someone would say this publicly, much less do it! Having seen items from both RRs in his shop, I would be VERY WARY about selling items to Smitty's, as well as buying items here, or at the antique shop!!!
