1301 S Miami Blvd, Durham, NC 27703

Salvage yardClosed now 3.5

Now this is what an automobile recycle salvage yard should look like. I’m driving the extra 30 miles to Durham to avoid the Clayton Raleigh LKQ Pick a Part. The spaces on every car are well marked. The yard is pretty dang clean. The staff are all friendly. They even ask which parts you’d like to buy a 90 day warranty on before just slapping the fee on there. Damon helped me at the checkout a few times. He’s a very gregarious young man. He knows a good bit about cars too. It’s refreshing to deal with folks that don’t hate their jobs. I’ll be back for a few items next week. Thanks y’all!

My company was moving to 100% virtual, and we needed to get rid of a bunch of old cubicles. Mike and the team made it super easy. They dropped off the dumpster on time and in a convenient location. When we were ready, they picked up the dumpster super fast and gave us a very fair price on more than 5000 lbs of scrap. I highly recommend Always Buying Scrap!

Used auto parts storeClosed now 4.2 5.3 miles

I’ve only picked up parts from here a few times. Efficient and easily accessible. Front counter staff helpful in making the process happen as quickly as possible. The guys having to do the yard and parts removal could use a couple snicker bars.

Dee is such a nice, friendly and knowledgeable lady. I had two vehicles removed today. Everything from beginning to end went very smoothly. She responded quickly to any questions I had and kept me up-to-date throughout the entire process. It was all done in one day. If needed, I would definitely use The Junk Car Lady again.

Everything went great until I repeat until I was left with a check that I wasn’t able to cash the same day. I received the check. No one bothered to tell me there was just gonna be a 2 to 3 day. Hold on the check. There was not a two or three day hold on me, giving up the car after you receive the title and I did not appreciate that. That was poor customer service. Someone should’ve told me from the beginning that the check I would be receiving would not be able to be cashed until two or three days afterwards because I definitely would have not done the business with this company. If I gave up the car, I expect to be paid on site . Would not recommend them to somebody else.
