I had my first experience at Cody’s this week. I, and some mechanics, had been looking for months for a couple parts to fix up my Subaru with no luck. I call up Cody’s and Matt had the parts pulled in no time and I was on my way. The prices are unbeatable, and the service is incredible. I definitely recommend Cody’s for anything you may need.

Go somewhere else if you want true value for your metals. If copper even has a slightest green color to it, they say its #2. Wire any size that has been stripped of all plastic and coverings you get nothing for. That should also be #1 copper. there scale is 14 lbs off and they weigh your metal in portions so you will lose 14lbs every time. If your copper does not look new then it is #2 to them. My father has owned a scrap yard in Tennessee my entire life, I've been around this business for over 40 years now. I should have gotten $1185.80 for my metal and only walked out with $700.. I took the time to cut it up and separate everything precisely. I guess they are used to people coming in looking for a quick 20 bucks that pay no attention. But if you have hundreds of pounds of copper i would highly recommend you going elsewhere.

Elwood is very fair on his used auto parts and labor if he works on your vehicles. Definitely would recommend 100%. Glad I found him because I feel like he is an honest mechanic and that is hard to find nowadays.

I have been to Leon's about 4 times in the past year and a half. I have had great success finding parts and Leon is great at pointing you in the right direction with his inventory list. He and I have had several good chats. I agree with his hours. He pretty much runs this yard all by himself. Its his life's work. He has to have down time to find other cars and get them in the yard and rearrange inventory. He most never takes a vacation cause he has no trusted backup to run his yard. I get up at 0530 on Saturday mornings to drive over two hrs to get in the yard by 0800 and out by 1200 respectfully. i am 51 years old and this is by far the best old school yard I have ever been to. I appreciate Leon for keeping it open.... This type of yard is a dying breed. Keep up the Great Work Leon! Don't let LKQ or one of those other modern day scavenger yards buy you out.

I am the owner of West Pennsboro Auto Wreckers in Carlisle PA. I was provided a container by the owner Joe Darrah for the collection of scrap steel. This container, full of scrap steel, number 303722, was picked up from my yard on 12/12/2022 around 5 pm. Via communication with the owner, I was advised that I would receive a check for this container weight. Last communication with Joe was on January 26th via text with another reassurance that I would be paid. He has not responded to any more communications and I do not have payment. It is unfortunate that businesses and consumers fall victim to a person/business such as this that operate on bad faith practices. After reading these Google reviews, it appears that this business has repetitively failed to pay a large consumer base in this area. I would advise consumers to read these reviews carefully and be wary of this business - I should have done so as well.

My daughter was in an accident on a sunday evening. Andrew showed to tow her car. I was completely at a loss with what to do given my daughters car has liability insurance given insurance rates are so high for young drivers. Andrew was nothing short of amazing. He stayed in contact with me and made a bad situation not so terrible. I am so grateful he showed to that accident and was able to help get her back on the road within a few days without taking my life savings. I am happy to have a new contact for car repairs. Thanks for everything Andrew! I will for sure be referring people to you. Keep up the great work!!!!!!
