Reviews of Elwoods Auto Exchange (Scrap Yards)

Stephen Truncale

My car was damaged and I decided to scrap it. Elwoods was nice for letting me keep it there but would not pay me until I brought the title. When I finally got the title and he was about to pay me which was less than what was verbally agreed, so I began to mention the nice features that the car had. As soon as I mentioned radio, he said "well lets take a walk and check out that radio." When we got to the car he said something like "what a shame, looks like your radio was stolen." It's as if I was dealing with some mafia scrap yard. There is not a doubt in my mind that he or his guys stole the car radio. I was going to give them the entire car, radio and everything, as I was just trying get rid of it. Its the principal of the matter that he would steal and be dishonest.

Dio is very knowledgeable and friendly. These guys are always willing to help and honest. Great used parts deals, usually one can remove the part themselves. Bring tools.

Would give more stars if I could, great people and help, give you the choice of going to get what u need yourself for a cheaper price or they'll get it for a few dollars more. My vehicle isn't one you see everyday and they have 2 of them that match perfectly literally beat AutoZone prices for the parts i needed by 300%

Nevin Daley

High prices and when I went back to return a few parts I didn't need from them. They don't do cash refunds and the gave me a credit of $40 when I bought the parts for $90

Pamela Starliper

Always ready to please

They have every vehicle that you can think of to get parts from

Huge automotive junk yard! Prices are fair and based on the going rates! It's always cheaper if you pull the part you need though!

Nation Decay

I went for my first time yesterday after being told good things about this junkyard. I live in WV and we can’t pull our own parts. This has been a bummer and I missed the thrill of walking through a huge junkyard searching for the parts you need and pulling what you want. They have plenty of imports and domestics. They also have everything from that rare 70s Honda to a full size RV. Cons: while they have some cars junkyards for hundreds of miles don’t and they are fairly organized by make there is weeds growing everywhere around and through many cars and some are placed way too close together to get access to. This could be fixed with a weedwacker or just moving sections of cars and plowing the land down then placing them back.

Very rude!!! And they caused me to get fined from the MVA

J Fiery

I like supporting local businesses but have discovered new parts online are cheaper than the used ones at this salvage yard. Good for getting a full size spare tire and rim or if you absolutely need something that day.

Graveyardgirl Fultz

Found what we needed at a good price

Trent McKee

Rude staff and overpriced parts..tons of cars though- but we drive from hagerstown to Hancock j&s salvage to avoid Elwood's unless we're desperate

Will Herrera

Ive been going here for a long time its a really good experience because they have everything i need. Special thanks to the sales associate Dio hes gives excellent customer service. Thanks for everything elwoods auto exchange

Steve Foor

Good selection

It's a pick it yourself auto salvage. This was my first time here but there are several issues with this place that I noticed. -It is easy to miss this place. There is no sign out at the road to know where the place is located. -Parking is awful and very limited. -I went into inquire about vehicles that may work for parts for my car and was told to see what's out in the lot. There seemed to be no inventory of the stock or what was in their field. - you have to carry everything in and out. They don't allow personal vehicles. They do have some workers that can shuttle you in and out but that's about it -the vegetation is overgrown in several areas around the vehicles. I had to wade through grass and weeds 4 feet tall just to search for a compatible vehicle. Some of which had small thorns and scratched the legs. Good point is that they have a wide variety of vehicles available so know what you're looking for and years compatible. When in doubt, you can call the office and they can look in their computer to be sure. I have been to better salvage yards over the years and this place has its issues but I would com back again for parts.

Tracy Paugh

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. I've always been able to find what what I've been looking for. Their prices are very reasonable.

Danny Biondi

The people are honest and will do all they can to help u. If you need help just ask.

Adam Holter

I've bought both late model and vintage car parts from Elwoods. Their organization leaves a lot to be desired compared to ther yards, but they do have quite a few older Mopars which has been helpful to in the past. Their old Fords are nearly impossible to get to due to the overgrowth. The prices in my experience are reasonable.

David Forrester

Nice old country boys running the place. Plenty of cars to look for parts

A Google User

I live almost an hour away, I called about a specific part (specified year, make, model, engine, and trans), was told they had multiple vehicles with the part I wanted. called a 2nd time to confirm before making the 2 hour round trip. Yep they had it. Go there, they were busy so I went into the yard to look. They only had one vehicle with the year and engine I asked about, and that one had no engine or trans, so did not have the part I wanted. Wasted time walking around the yard looking for another one they said was "just around the corner" but when I could not find it for the 3rd time, the worker came out and said "oh, someone must have moved it" total waste of half a day.

Great service friendly environment

Angela Foster

Was advised over the phone the part I needed was there then when I got there had to wait 30 minutes for someone to go pull it and at the end of the day they didn't have a compatible part. Wasted my time going out there.

Robert Meyer

It ok

Kiki Spooner

Dio is very knowledgeable and very sweet! Prices are very reasonable! Definitely recommend to everyone

Daniel Rice

If they don't have it for a good price you don't need it

Della Newlin

It is best to just come out and look for the parts then it is to call because some of the cars have been stripped pretty good and the person who answers the phone wouldn't know that

Janet Scheetz

Found what I went for.

Troy Richardson

Good salvage yard to pull parts yourself. However, I can never tell who's actually working there, and they like to high ball prices. Know what your parts are worth before going to this place.

Jose Monroig Martinez

(Translated by Google) Excellent service and in Spanish, ask for Neo (Original) Excelente servicio y en español pregunta por Neo

Scott Garner

They have what I need most of the time. Very helpful staff

Marco Alvarez

Nice place to find used auto parts.

Paul Smith

They had my part, but be ready to walk and pull your own parts. Cheap prices.

Ed Howie

Has parts I need

redds all done

Full of stuff on good

Scando Stevie

What a vast variety of parts for cars and trucks. Some cars here look too clean to be in a scrap/junk yard

John Drake

Very helpful and courteous

ryan ritchie

Good people but sometimes it can be expensive

Kenny K.

Great Prices. Do it yourself, or have them pull parts. I paid WITH card; they don't "only take cash" like some reviews say. Good luck!

Angie Miller

They are great

The Graen Reactor

Building inside the yard is disgusting and the people here certainly do nothing to help you find what you're looking for. Lots of animals just wandering around here also. Never thought I'd ever say I'd prefer Crazy Rays! Vehicles and junk are packed so tight in this place you'll be parking out on the main street.

Teresa Zittle

Ok for a junkyard

Rich kessler

Been keeping me going for 25 years

Altimont Wilks

They actually had the auto part that my friend was searching for, even though its been discontinued for more than a decade.

Christy Everly

Great pull it yourself yard. Only takes cash but will work with you if you leave your old parts you need. I got rim and tire and gave him old one and spent 25 dollers

Jasimine Tteal

Dio is a cool guy but I waited for 3 hours, the guy who went out for the part brought back the wrong part twice. I left and came back later and they tried to charge mi $45 for the part which was quoted to my mechanic for $25 :(

David Hess

Old time junk yard no computer parts lookup, drive hour and half just to search. Place is huge but many of cars should have been crushed 30 years ago, all they are stripped rusted shells. Weeds cover almost everything so ware snake boots.

Patrick Creeden

Found a hose for my used SUV. It fit. It was a fair deal. Took it off myself. Gritty program, with a real junkyard feel to it.

Terra Elizabeth

Called this business and was quoted a firm price 75$ and then after driving an hour to get there...the employee says "oh we can't get that for you until tomorrow and itll be 125$." Waste of time!! Should've told us on the phone instead of letting us drive there and he knew we were driving there too. Very unprofessional.

Randy E

Rip off! If you ever go here and have to take a part out of a car make sure you walk in and ask them how much they want to charge you first!!! I took a piece for back window of my truck after all that time and finding a truck I took it down to them and they told me $120 I told them I can buy it new for 70 they said nope 120 so of course I didn't buy it

bozokarl .

They've always had the parts I need but there has been several times they gave me the wrong part. They've always made it right but it required a trip back to the junkyard.

Wendy Britner

AF er checking different places they had our part

Wesley Harney

They were very helpful when it came to finding a part that I needed. Still think I got taken though on the price.

Ian Smith

Have been here many times over the years. Would recommend this salvage yard to anyone looking for parts for their vehicle.

Steven Seaward

I am not sure what the name of the establishments is, and the confusion doesn’t stop there. Beware of pricing! When you walk in it is hard to tell who works there and who is just here. Pricing varies from person to person and customer service isn’t a part of their vocabulary. I suggest you get the price before you go and pull a part of a vehicle. When you initially ask for a price for a part, their response will be that you have to show it to them. So you go and pull the part - you come back and show it to them and they give you an outrageous price. If you have the time shoot down to Crazy Rays in Frederick.

Chrissy Diehl

Easily found a passenger side door for my 2006 Camary. Had 4 vehicles, 3 with the door I needed, all (doors) in good/great condition. An associate helped my father remove the door, carried the door, and drove it to the entrance for us. Very helpful and nice associate. Would definitely recommend this place! If you're looking to get some parts, I would also bring some gardening gloves and some pruners. It'll make getting the part a little more comfortable.

Cool atmosphere

Sue Scholl

They have my 90s cadi there and always help me out with gr8 prices, see ya in. The spring guys

djshadow21922 .

Was there today 12/11/2018. Customer service was Excellent! The gentleman at the front desk asked what i was looking for i showed the part. The part was a VW passat height seat adjustment Gear assembly. He showed me on a aerial picture exactly where to find the VWs and Audis. AUDIS are on left VWs are on right. Either one would have worked for me. Took me about 30mins to look though cars, test the part, verify part and remove part. Removing part was the longest part of my time. I was very impressed by the selection and even walked out with a gas door which i was originally not planning on getting but needed on cause mine cracked. I would say im very impressed and HAPPY. All for $30. Cheapest i could find was $44 on ebay but then i had to wait on shipping time. Which was going to be a problem cause were expecting snow and this is my snow vehicle. Super happy. Thank you everyone. I will say i grew up with the Grimms Kids and this was my first time at the junk yard and i will be back. Probably very soon. Thank you!

Brad Patterson

Great finds. Friendly staff.
