Terrible service The owner had an attitude the entire time I was there. And all i was as nice. Said he would trade parts for The Price of the vehicle i sold him . I saw him a month later still didn't Do anything with it I ask him about it he just laughed and said no he didn't have time To look And said there's no need to be in a hurry right. Waited another month Called him and he told me he didn't Find The parts ask him if I could get the money He didn't even want to weigh the Truck. Finally did almost a 1000 pounds more than what he said. I'm a small business and I Work with a lot of People. And would never think Of doing business like that. Plus I needed the truck for work.

This is absolutely the worst scrap yard around. They are thieves! I took a load of scrap iron there 2 days ago. Scrap prices everywhere else $.09 per lb. They gave me $25.50 for 600 lbs. That comes to 4.5 cents a pound. I pretended not to know the pricing anywhere else and they took advantage of it. Stay far away from these people!

Although you might expect a pretty rough experience surrounding a metal recycling center, Bell salvage has consistently provided good, friendly service. The location isn't pretty or clean, but what would you expect from a salvage yard? Even in the yard, the staff has clearly provided information and been friendly. Plus, it's always nice to leave someplace with a little extra cash in your pocket after getting rid of some unwanted trash.
