I am very happy that NAR an engine I needed for a customer here in Fort Wayne. It was a 3 hour drive but it was worth it. The engine was in great shape with only 83,000 miles on it and it looked as though it had been cleaned up when it was pulled. I truly appreciate that the main wire harness and the pigtails were all intact and in great condition. The engine was loaded into the shop truck by a very nice NAR employee who assisted with getting it secured for the 3 hour trip home. I have never seen a better maintained, clean, organized and professional salvage yard in my life! My only complaint is that I wish they were closer to me! Thanks NAR!

My car engine died, working with a mechanic, we decided getting new, refurbished and even a junkyard motor didn't make sense on an 8-year-old, high milage car. I started an online search for how to dispose of a "junk" car. I received dozens of replies. Though not quite the highest offer ($100 diff) dealing with Jim made me comfortable with the process and more confident that there no scams or gimmicks connected with his offer. After deciding to use Kelly and specifically deciding to work with Jim, the process was exactly as he described. I'd work with Jim at Kelly Car Buyers again, though hopefully, that won't happen. Thanks Jim - Bob

Paul’s in Gary was pretty decent. I went there to find parts and while they didn’t have many later model vehicles in the yard, I found all the part i needed for an OBS I’ve been putting together and the little lady at the window is very nice and easy on the eyes

I stopped by on January 27th, 2023. The sign on the door stated that they closed to the public on November 1st. It went on to state that they were "remodeling" the yard and would reopen in a few months. I believe that they buy junk cars at this location, but they don't sell parts. If you are looking to buy parts, call first to see if they have reopened. They don't mention the closure on Facebook or their website.
