Reviews of Nordstrom's Automotive, Inc. (Scrap Yards)

Ben Hendrickson

Had part, but Dan was very bad at communicating. I called at 7am spoke with him and he said he would get right back with me to make sure the part worked. 2 hours later I called and his response was you were going to call me. I said do you remember telling me you were going to check the part out to make sure it was good? Oh yeah that must have been some miscommunication between us. So I lost 2 hours of my drive coming from Minnesota. So I called and spoke with a Jeremiah about possibly having someone meet me like 30 minutes from their shop. I said I would pay someone cash to meet as it would save me a ton of time. No call back so I called again and Dan got on phone and said no we don't do anything like this. Once I got there I was speaking with a guy up front and he said yes they do this all the time. So overall they were not good at communicating.

William Hoygaard

Great customer service! It doesn't matter if you're working on a large project or a simple mirror replacement, the staff always puts in the extra effort to ensure that you get the part or parts you're after. Everyone is extremely friendly and always very helpful and professional. I have bought several parts and was very impressed with the service as well as the speed.

James Demaree

I bought a new Dorman power window regulator and it fit and works perfectly!

Richard sawyer

Best $800 I have ever spent. Very pleasant to deal with. Facility is well organized and looks great. Highly recommended. Would do business with them again THANKS!

Dave Dahle

Absolutely top-notch. Although I haven't needed to get any parts for my current vehicle, I've never been disappointed with any of my prior purchases here, and this is also going back to the days when we could go out into the main yard and gather the parts we needed ourselves.

george peters

They always claim on their answering machine that they pay "Top Dollar" for junk automobiles! However I could call them up after about four or five other dealers I found in the Shopping News and Nordstroms offer is always the LOWEST! Usually by about half! I don't think they should claim on the phone that they pay "Top Dollar" unless they absolutely mean it.

David Shearer

Over the top in service! Called Charlie for pricey Lexus part. He was personable and most accommodating, going to the extra trouble of including electrical connectors necessary for our particular job. Soundwerk Car Audio in N Richland Hills TX thanks Charlie and the entire staff for helping us help our customers! Call Charlie- he'll fix ya up!

Robert Headley

I went to Nordstrom's today to replace my front driver's side wheel. I had blown a tire at 75mph and wasn't sure that the wheel was still good. Also, I didn't have a spare and my car was on the side of the road in Vermillion, SD. I went ahead and ordered a scissor jack while I was there and not only did they find the parts I needed, they reduced their price so that I could afford them. The price was already quite reasonable. This is something only the best companies do and I really appreciate it. I will definitely be shopping with Nordstrom's again in the future for all of my used auto part needs.

George McQueen

My late model VW just out of warranty died for a very odd and unbelievable reason, but it was serious; Engine replacement was one of the best options. Nordstrom's had best engine for me, with best price, free shipping and they included the all the hoses, wires (nothing cut), covers...etc. Nice touch, they capped all hoses with plastic plugs. Engine swap went smooth, started first try. I worked with John, Nordstrom's internet sales person. He was straight forward, no nonsense, flexible, cooperative with my situation. Buying the engine was straight forward, shipping fast. Long story short, I recommend Norsdrom's; give them1st look when shopping for parts.

I’ve purchased a lot of parts from Nordstrom’s in the past and have always been very pleased but I just went to sell them a vehicle and return some engine pallets. Doug in vehicle purchasing was very in pleasant and once he handed me the check for my car he didn’t seem to want to help with any other questions I had about where to return the pallets. Love the parts but his customer service needs work.

dalbert livingstone

great facility, great people, highly recommend

I contacted Nordstrom’s after looking at their website and thinking I’d have a quick and friendly experience after my recent car accident. Unfortunately the man on the phone was condescending and rude. I really was hoping they’d be able to help me, but I chose to go with another salvage company in town due to the condescending nature of man answering their phones.

tim wertish

Redwoodautosales Com jus purchased super duty seats from Nordstroms .best service ever. Levin took care of us like a newborn . Great place

Hank Leemhuis

Do not try and call they have a stupid voice machine. I have tried to call in the past and every time it says I've called at peek times. Last time waited 15mins and just hung up. Called oakleaf salvage they answered phone right away and had part I needed. Thanks oakleaf

Larry Schut

Very well planed out to every detail with the foucher in mined great jod

Rebuilt a 2000 VW beetle. Nordstrom's had ALL the parts I needed from the fenders, oil pan, air bags, seat belts and all the electrical components that I needed. Doug and the rest of the staff were not only knowledgeable and the parts I needed, their attention to detail and courtesy was far exceeding of a regular auto parts store. All around good natured people with exceptional knowledge of auto parts.

ELIZABETH KELLY

Purchased a lower oil pan for my Tiburon via eBay and upon arrival - mounting lip of oil pan was bent though the box was in good shape. I sent these jokers a message and John informed me that they have sent out a replacement oil pan even though I had already stated that I had purchased a new one (cars don't drive without oil - can't hold oil without pan). I asked for a refund and they said I will not get my refund until I send reject the replacement that I did not ask for. I asked several times about getting the tracking number to reject this and they can't seem to figure out how to obtain tracking number for me. So here I am out the money currently for a oil pan that is unusable and having to deal with a joker named John. FYI - I do research work for the automotive industry and I tested their ability to maintain accurate information - they failed. They also have this listed to fit the base model Tiburon which is incorrect. So I can only assume that other buyers have had incorrect parts shipped to them along with all the buyers receiving damaged junk.

Arthur Farns

Every time I call here I stay on hold for about 15-20 minutes. You guys need to have more employees or figure something out. This has been going on for years. I order from hundreds of salvage yards and this is one of the worst due to the annoying phone system. I try and avoid this place whenever possible due to this.

Dr. Tim Fiegen

Their open house was a wonderful event.

Hannah Starr

Best place for used parts around hands down

Nick Rose

I've purchased numerous parts from Nordstrom and have never had an issue. Best regards, Nick - Miami Motors

Ray Moores

Bought an oil pan for my Dodge Ram pickup off of Ebay. They shipped it fast and the price was good. Thanks for a great transaction.

Larry Casteel

Nordstrom's has always given me a fair deal with quality parts.

Bango Me

Awesome place to buy junk. Was very surprised by how fast shipping was! Very nice people very easy to buy 100% trusted

Kip Grurututututuutututuuttuuttuut7t8t8tearey

Great service always helpful. every one helped out today.great team here.

Gary Landman

Great place. Friendly people. They had all the parts I was looking for!

Cody Russell

We operate a steering rebuild shop and occasionally use Nordstrom's on when we are in a on something. I deal with a lot of salvage yards and other parts of the recycled parts industry and I assure you will not likely find a more professional, able salvage yard than Nordstrom's. It is rare and refreshing to deal with a salvage yard that seems that committed to operating on their level when it comes to organization, logistics, and knowledge. Hold times aside, you can't beat em.

Rob Van Riessen

Awesome facilities!!!

Khalid Gomaan

i called to order some parts for 2015 toyota camry with charlie for minuteman auto 2 weeks ago i didn't receive them till today and my card was charged in the first of the month when i called today to ask for my parts they said we can't help you the parts are gone asking for someone to complain or talk to no one try give me the boss and the other guy was complaining about we don't buy a lot of parts from them so that's why they don't care

Erika D. Aragon

The new place is awsome and the people were very attentive

Rod Anacker

Very helpful people but I think they are a little overwhelmed by all the customers

Steamer Jones

Excellent!

Doug Bartel

I have been here a few times as a shade tree mechanic. Prices are really good and they always get the right part. Today I needed a wheel for a Grand Cherokee and it was only $50.

Curtis Mortinsen

Ok

Kevin Leui

Above average salvage operation

Went to get a radiator for a 2.7L Chrysler engine, to replace the old one after a Crack was discovered. The new radiator had a rupture in it, causing transmission fluid to go through my coolant lines, into my engine. Now I have coolant in my transmission lines, transmission oil in my engine& have to pay for the engine, transmission& coolant systems to be flushed& a new radiator. --UPDATE-- Called& spoke with a manager (Justin). He told me I'd have to pay to get the radiator pressure tested before they'd be able to help& even then they'd only give me another used part. They won't help with the multiple system flushes I'll have to get done. Here's the thing, they're supposed to have pressure tested this radiator. They should have before reselling it. So, apparently, somehow in the 20 minute drive from their facilities to my house, I ruptured the inside of the radiator. While it was lying in the back seat of the car, nothing touching it. I think the more believable option, is someone didn't do their job correctly& either didn't pressure test it, or just didn't care. Now I'm out the money for the first radiator, a brand new replacement radiator, the money to put it into the shop& have it replaced& all the systems flushed. After buying parts from here for the past 7 years, everything from batteries to engines, I will no longer be buying my parts from this establishment. It's a real buyer beware story.

Dustin Carlson

worked with them for 14 years and can only say they are the best and most responsive yard I deal with

Stephanie Burgett

Good people. Great prices on used parts

Lane Finley

I bought an entire used Rear axle assembly from one of their salvage vehicles for my 2008 Toyota 4Runner. The sales rep that help me on the phone, was able to ship this to Kentucky for free (That's 250lbs of steel on a wooden crate.) The part showed up and was in fantastic condition! My mechanic was extremely impressed that I was able to find this part at the price and quality I did. They even come with a warranty. I cannot be more pleased with Nordstrom's approach to selling used auto parts online. I wish I would've thought of this system. I will continue to use their services for parts, every time I need them.

Douglas Kooiman

Great place for parts, great people.

Yvette VanDerBrink

Grew up with Dad and Mom starting the business and now my brother Shannon and Tammi is taking to next level. Great history and place.

Jon Sorensen

Rude sales people and a bunch of know it all who are not afraid to let you know they know everything about nothing!They low ball you on collecting your cars, then sell of there first part from it to cover that cost and rest is money in there pockets. Barneys does same thing and does not low ball you. And they sell parts way cheaper then these jack asses!

R Reotutar

I recently purchase some parts for a very late model Lexus and the price was very reasonable. John who does the ebay store was very helpful and patient. I would definately recommend and will continue shopping with them.

Rick Milliorn

Ordered online. Waited two weeks after not receiving confirmation email only to find out car part still not removed from car to ship. WIll let you know how long it takes to get my money back. Two weeks no progress or communication. REALLY!

Tom Noll

All around,excellent!

Pony Sparkles

I was in an automobile accident and my car was destroyed. Only having liability insurance coverage, the handling of the damaged car was in my hands. The cost to repair the car was far more than the car's worth, and I did not intend to make it a project car. Given this, I reached out to Nordstrom's in order to get rid of my car as scrap/salvage. They offered me $110 which was more than fair, especially since I was initially just going to turn it over to the tow yard as scrap with no payment. I had never sold a car in my life, much less turned one over as scrap/salvage, so I asked the representative that emailed me with the offer if I could be present at the time of pick-up to ensure I filled out the back of the title correctly. He worked with me to arrange a date and time, and they had the tow driver contact me directly when he was on his way to the vehicle. The entire process was effortless, and they took a lot of weight off of my shoulders. Every agent I worked with was super friendly, and they were there to help with any questions I had. Sure, they may not be the best option for everyone looking to dispose of an unwanted car (really, what business can be?), but when you're in a position like I was, they are a god send. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in my position.

Nordstrom's had the part I needed at a competitive price and it came to me well packed in a very short time. Very happy with their service!

Erik Burnison

Great service.

Rodrigo Chavez

Mike Mackey

I like ewe pull it because you can pull your own parts and know what you got. And its cheap.

Nick

Called about a wiper arm-waited on hold for 10-15 minutes, was told the wiper would $35, I said great I'll be there to get it by Saturday. Called a half hour later to see if I could get it today, waited on hold at least another ten minutes, they said they didn't have one-then I told them I'd just called a half hour ago and they said "oh yeah, you can get that." Then I told them I wanted to make sure it'd be there when I got there in half an hour and the guy says "oh, well yeah. I'd have to pass on that." What the heck is that supposed to mean?! TERRIBLE service. I will never go there again. Glad I didn't drive half an hour for that crap, waste of my time. If I could give no stars I would, wish I had my half hour of time back.

Becky Ackerman

Not worth the time

Damien Rudebusch

Wonderful facility couldn't imagine going anywhere else

Trudy Barker

I thought I got a GREAT deal on a rack & pinion for my 2003 Town & Country van on Ebay. It even came with a 6 month warranty !! Being a single Mother and this is my only vehicle, I really thought I had saved money on this purchase. IT LASTED 4 MONTHS = I contacted Norstrom's and they told me I would have to ship it back for the replacement. I had to arrange rides to work and I thought.. stuff like this happens. One week after the replacement was installed – the replacement was leaking – UGH – my mechanic told me the line was loose but the replacement rack & pinion did have a leak. I contacted the customer service and was told there is NO WARRANTY ON REPLACEMENT PARTS – so it is my opinion that the replacement was just a junk POS part. Trying to save $$ ended up with a total waste of $75.00 for the part, $35.00 for shipping, $325.00 !st installation AND 325.00 for the second installation. TOTAL $760.00 NEW PART INSTALLED = $565.00 SINGLE MOTHER OUT $760.00 – that buys LOTS of clothes, shoes, electric, propane, FOOD !!! People warn you about companies like THIS ONE – take my experience as a warning.

Andrew Olson

Extremely impressed with the value for parts and service. I got a Wheel Bearing from them and had it installed by their qualified shop nearby for about 1/3 of the price quoted in Sioux Falls. I'm positive that their Christian values have affected the way they work, because never have I seen such Honest and Hardworking men in the Auto Parts Industry. This is an upstanding business that I'm sure is bound to grow! Keep up the great work.

Earl R. Cross Jr.

They were curtious and informative, they had everything I needed! A++!!!

Very friendly honest fair prices.

Scott Lawrence

Longest hold times of any yard in USA! If you like to stay on hold for an avg of 10-15 minutes just to talk to someone this is your place. Poorly staffed and ran yard. Need to hire more staff because holding 15 minutes to talk to someone is ridiculous! I run a yard and often call other yards to locate parts. I cringe when I have to call Nordstroms. It is always the same wait time. You guys lose a lot of business! I'm shocked the owner doesn't do something about this. Every owner should make random calls to there own yard to check wait times to see what there customers go thru.

Gilbert Hernandez

Very satisfied with the wheels I bought online, received my wheels in three days just like they said they would.

osier otero jr

I was very pleased with my purchase from your organization! Prompt delivery, the cleanest used part I have ever purchased, truly like new. I have just installed it and it works beautifully. Thank you for a fair and honest experience so very uncommon now a days. You are going far and I will be be back. Thank you!
