Reference: I trust car-part.com to find parts I need to keep my '97 Pathfinder on the road (great resource!). I called FAW November 22, 2025 and made a $100 deposit via Venmo. I am one of many who appear to have been scammed by Fast Auto Wrecking in Battle Ground, WA. Complaints typically are like mine: a part is listed on car-part.com and with a call, "Alex" gets a deposit via Venmo. Most calls go unanswered and/or vmail not returned. When getting an answer, gaslighted: promises and excuses never result in a shipped product or a product ready for pickup. "Call me Monday" is a frequent response. At one point it was "stop by Saturday but call first". No phone answer, so I drove to the yard. Chains across gates, wrecked cars strewn around, calls again unanswered. Neighbor business told me the owner is never there, and that it's common for customers to get scammed. I left more vmails and most recently a message via Venmo asking for a refund - no answer (suprise). There's still a listing on car-part.com for that item. I've filed a complaint with the WA Attorney General's office, also with car-part.com, who responded that they are in the process of pulling FAW's account. I only lost $100, others have lost a lot more. read more

March 12 I paid for a part and shipping to Alaska. It's now May 29 and after numerous calls and texts still no part. Now they won't pick up when they see it's me calling read more

They won't answer there phones anymore. Won't call us back, and there voicemail is full. We ordered an intake manifold through this yard, they sent it to the wrong shop, then said they would get it back from that shop and send it to us. It's been weeks and now they are saying they would just give us our money back but now they won't answer at all. Don't buy from them at all. The full voicemail should be the first red flag. read more

I prepaid $1750 for a engine from him. He then asked for a couple days to get engine pulled. a week later he gave the excuse of a death in the family. I gave hom another week. He then give me the excuse of his worker getting hurt. Said he'd have it pulled in 3 days. two weeks later still had no engine, just excuses. He said he'd return my money. 30 days later I still haven't gotten my money back. he always has a excuse like it was refunded to the wrong person or some other excuse. Now its been a month and he wont even answer the phone. He's a thief and a fraud thats living high off the hog on money he steals from others. read more

I'm telling you guys to be aware! read more

I got scammed by Alex just like a lot of the people writing a review here. I ordered a front bumper, blend door actuator and climate knob for a Dodge ram van he posted on craigslist for parts. After calling the number on craigslist for fast auto Alex had me message him on a different number with my cash app payment. after taking my $400 payment, he said he would have the parts delivered to me to Eugene the following daywhen his driver would come down to either an auction or tow truck place. Three weeks later now and the parts never made it to Eugene.. I called him almost every day and he would give me some story about why he wasn't able to do it. I told him I had given him plenty of time and that it would be fair now to ask for my money back and he refused. I reported payment to cash app and I encourage other people to do the same. This guy is gonna continue to scam more and more people if we don't take action against him.. if anyone is gonna attempt to sue him, please reach out to me so I can join the cause 541-735-7115 read more

I was needing a new intact crossmember subframe for my car and Alex agreed to take cash and meet me in Portland that day. However, the internal welded bolt needed to thread in the control arm bolt was busted off, so I told him no thanks I can't use it. He pulled another part for me the next day that was intact so I went up and paid cash. Definitely do your due diligence, inspect the parts, and try to pay cash or protected PayPal payment, but overall not too bad I eventually got the part I needed at a decent price. read more

Not sure what's going on with this place. He seemed really nice and helpful over the phone. GPS took me to a locked gate. He didn't show for 20 minutes, and I started to get suspicious. He wanted me to pay money up front for a part that I would come get on Saturday so that "he can move stuff out of the way." Seemed reasonable, but when I saw that he wasn't coming to the gate, and saw the other reviews about people paying for parts they didn't get - I got sketched out. Am I gonna pay him and he doesn't come unlock the gate? So I left. He called me 20 min later and said "where are you?" I said "you didn't show". He says "fu** you, and all these stupid people, don't ever call me again wanting my help!!!" honestly Place looks like a front. Something is fishy. read more

this place is a scam paid 500$ for an engine through Venmo and never got the part Total Scam !!!!!!!!!!!!! Owner will just take your money and gaslight you till you stop trying to get the part you paid for read more

Really chill guy. I pulled up to the wrong side of the lot and he helped me find my way to the front. Really helpful, you can tell he has a kind soul. read more

guys a scammer. sold me a part I needed but off the wrong year of car and wouldn't work. Wouldn't allow a return or exchange for the right year model part. Stopped answering when I called! read more

Please pay attention to all of the negative reviews because they are true. Wish I would've done some research before giving this scammer (Alex Kutsar) my money. He will give you sob stories like no other. Do not give this guy money. My experience was just like every negative review on here. He took my money up front, told me it would be a week and it took a month to get the biggest POS transmission I've ever seen. After meeting at the locked gate I had to text him "where are you" he then says "I see you I'll be there. He convinced me to take this POS transmission that had every sensor broken off and the secondary valve body was destroyed, not to mention the case being broken which I knew before hand. After getting home and finding moisture inside the transmission and realizing that I'm not going to try and switch cases between two transmissions, I told him it's not gonna work and ask for my money back. Long story short here I am leaving this review just like everyone else. I will be trying to sue him for my money back and then some. BTW $1200 is what he scammed me for read more

TLDR; SCAMMER. same experience as most other reviewers. Alex seemed nice over the phone, took my credit card number, and said he would ship the window regulator within the next 2 days. Didn't get anything in the mail or hear anything for days, so called and talked to him briefly, subsequently texted him my shipping address (he contacted me through a separate number). He seemed confused about which part I had ordered and I got the impression that he didn't pull the part yet. He was unresponsive to my communication. I got smart late and looked on yelp to see if this was a trustworthy business. When I looked through my credit card statements I didn't see that he had charged anything and asked him to cancel the order. I wonder if he is sitting around with my credit card info and waiting till I forget about it so he can rack up charges. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS WITH HIM. Other salvage business in the area was well aware of this guy's chicanery. read more

Wanting a few window motors for my Toyota truck, I stumbled upon this place and spoke to Alex over the phone. Alex was very accommodating and respectful. The business model was a little odd, making me pay first and picking up the part outside of a closed gate, never meeting anybody. But hey, I got what I needed and it was on time read more

Alex had the part I needed and was able to send it out asap. Even sent it out before receiving payment.

I was ripped off from this guy Alex. He asked for a down payment to reserve the part. He never called me back and never answered my calls. I texted him for a refund and never returned my money. Please do not do business with this company. Alex is a total scam! ​ read more

I wasn't able to find parts for my car within a 200 mile radius of my house but I ended up calling Fast Auto in Battleground after a lead from a local wrecking company and he pulled the parts for me same day & stayed late for me to pick them up, it was reasonably priced, I got my two radiators, fan and bumper reinforcement beam for like $500 and he was super friendly. He did ask for the cash sent to his cash app upfront and I read reviews and called him back but he took a $50 deposit to pull the parts for me and the rest when we got to Battleground to pick them up. Would highly recommend for parts. Have not tested them out yet as I just finished putting them in the other day but if they don't work I will update this review. read more

We contacted Fast Auto wrecking after locating them on carparts.com for a replacement fuel tank for our Ford Ranger after someone drilled the gas tank in Seattle. The tank is discontinued, so we have little options. Alex let us know on Thursday that he could have it pulled and ready for pick up on Saturday. We paid him cash on good faith and a handshake. It's been over a month now, and still no tank. My husband has called numerous times with either no answer or Alex let's him know that he will get it pulled within a couple of days and will call us. Don't do business with this company unless you have extra money just to donate. read more

4 days ago we bought a Prius engine from them, they gave a 1 month warranty if it had any problems. When we took it apart and looked at the engine condition, it was terrible. The owner refused to return the money or exchange it for another one. And then he started threatening. If you want problems, then contact them. read more

Alex is great! After searching for a hard to find part for our 1990 Miata they had what we needed. Although we are in Canada, shipping was quick and dealing with them was easy. Great communication through direct phones calls and text messages throughout the whole process and we were very happy to get the item as described. No hesitation to work with them again in the future. Five stars! read more

My experience with Alex was very positive. I was in a pinch to get my car ready for my wedding trip and he came through in a big way. I used to work in the industry and know the challenges he faces. I see some negative reviews and that's unfortunate. Thank you again and best of luck! read more

They said the company name was Battlegroundz Auto Wreck so it took me a while to find this. They came to pick up my car but had the wrong truck. It was a makeshift wood plank platform truck that looked like someone built it at home. My boyfriend basically had to push the suv onto the platform for Eli Which took hours. Glad he's a big guy otherwise there no way it would've happened! I was unable to make it to the pick up as I was at work and I feel they took advantage of the situation and did not give payment nor bill of sale to my boyfriend. I contact him to request at least the bill of sale referring to the deferred payment upon receipt of title. He said he would get this to me. I've contacted he number two more times since and have gotten no response. No answer upon call and no reply to texts. At this point I may have to report my car as stolen because this was not the agreed upon deal. Kind of a shady business, so it seems. If you have the means to deal with another company I would say go with someone else. Otherwise get everything you need from them upfront. Once they have your car that's it. I'm just glad I have the texts and call records to back myself up if anything comes down to it. read more

Found them online on car parts.com. Called regarding several engines they had for our car. Alex was hard selling me that several of the engines were running low mileages. Prices were over the roof. And they asked to be paid by venmo to ship so no protection. The irony in the name is that they take Advantage of you here by not shippings the parts. Read others had warned me that this place is hell on Earth, but they were only funny stories because I had never experienced buying from here. Let me be clear: Fast auto Wrecking is hell on Earth. And you should not give your hard earned money to this place. YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF ! Avoid from doing business. Save you the headache. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Tried buying an engine from this business, they made me pay them up front through Venmo which you can't dispute like a credit card transaction, and after 10 weeks there is still no engine. I called to get a refund and the owner, Alex, said the engine is out and ready, but that I wouldn't be able to pick it up until the end of next week. Convinced it's actually not pulled or ready and only with a threat of a refund are they actually thinking about maybe doing their job. Also, having paid through Venmo as they requested, I cannot dispute the claim and get a full refund. He says he's charging me a 35% restocking fee for an engine that's probably not even out of the vehicle. This is a true and accurate transaction with this company. PLEASE BELIEVE ALL OF THE REST OF THE ONE STAR REVIEWS!!!!!!! read more

I ordered a part from this guy. He told me to send him money which I did over Zell The part never showed up after calling and trying to contact him for a month he would not answer the phone.. I drove 3 Hours to battleground to confront him. When I got to his so called salvage yard. I walked around the perimeter of his fence and I could only see what it looked like maybe 20 to 30 cars that have been completely stripped down. So it is now apparent to me that he claimed that he had a part for me that he never had. There is no office On the premises neither. Do not deal with Alex or this company you will get scammed. read more

Had a terrible experience with this business and the owner (Alex). We would give negative stars if we could. First issue is the quoted us $100 for a window when we called the first time. The next day we called to confirm the window was still there, but the price was $150. They confirmed the window was still there, so we drove 2 1/2 hours to get it. We even phoned an hour before we arrived to let them know our ETA, which they said they would be there. When we were maybe 5-10 minutes away, he called to my son to say that he couldn't do it today anymore and that we'd have to come back tomorrow. When I called to try to figure out the problem, Alex was extremely short with me, cutting me off when I was speaking, when I was trying to ask about what the problem was and why we had been told different things multiple times. I received no answers, only blame that he said to call before driving (which we had, multiple times) and Alex threatened to hang up on me multiple times in the conversation when I asked about the poor communication. He also tried to get us to pay up front to "reserve" the window. I'm really glad we didn't do that at least. Don't waste your time or gas doing business here. read more

Do not do business with this company. Wish I had read the reviews first. Ordered a headlight from Alex. Kept promising he was shipping it. Wouldn't give tracking number. Never got a headlight and now he refuses to refund my $700.00. It appears he has done this to many people. He is a fraud and a con man. Steer clear. You have been warned! read more

These guys are amazing and I would tell all my friends about them Iblew out a tire and bent three rimsmy stepdad ended up buying tires and rims from them he talked with them all day long on the phone and stayed open until 6:30 on a Friday night they we're nothing but helpful and nice went out of their way just for one customer when they close at 5:00 p.m. I call that good customer service thanks again keep up the good work! read more

Called in and requested they verify having a part they were reported to have by another yard. He took my name and number saying he'd get back to me. I had to call back and was given the same spiel, I told him to save his breath. read more

This place is a scam and will steal your money! Do not pay with debit or Venmo, you will never see your money again.

These people took our money- played around for 2 WEEKS after we requested a refund- kept telling us different dates the motor would be pulled- kept being "out of the office + telling us to call back in 20-30-40 minutes. FUCK THESE PEOPLE. Slime ball A** MF. We kept our composure through the entire transaction. Before we left- mentioned they had pretty bad reviews and the older man (owner) said "Customers are stupid. In this business it's always bad reviews" WOW know that if you go forward- even when you're right- you'll still just be their "stupid customer" You do shitty business- have shitty operating standards-play dumb and ask the same questions multiple times to try to confuse people- change your name on your payment apps & have ZERO accountability. You will fail and knowing that- I'm happy because I know the universe will serve you what you deserve for fucking with people. Y'all need Jesus + I hope your son who you seem to be doing business with sees how terribly you run this thing. read more

Avoid this place,the owner is a freaking cheat he doesn't put any prices online and when you call him he just randomly shoots a price and when you get there he'll charge you extra based off how you look. He told me a freaking power steering pump was $125 then when I pulled it out of the car (he was suppose to do it) the pulley was rusty so I told him and he literally argued with me saying it was not a big deal and wouldn't affect anything.Like im going to have to replace the pulley if it's rusty the least you could do is reduce the price alittle. After which he randomly increases the price to $137 because of tax? Like what?!?!. And dude kept freaking touching me and putting his arm around me and on my lower back like wtf. This yard is an absolute mess too owner doesn't know where anything is. Complete safety hazard too read more

Had bought an Engine for a Saab. After giving them the money up front they told me that the engine should be ready to be picked up at the end of the week. One week later I call back on Monday he says that he's busy and that the engine should be out by Thursday. I call Thursday and he says that it's still not done probably sometime next week. I go on vacation for a over a week and I come back to call him and the same excuses. So far it's been a month and he's still saying that he hasn't had the chance to pull it out. Super unprofessional and disappointed that someone is this unreasonable. Would highly recommend that no one buys from here under no circumstances. read more

This guy is a total crook tells you "God Bless" as he takes your money. Same story as the rest paid for my parts told me they would be ready in a couple days, weeks later still no parts and would not answer my phone calls. I finally was able to catch him stealing someone else's money, put him on the spot in front of the customer and ended up pulling my own parts. Never I mean never give this guy any money, he will steal it from you. read more

This place is best for tax fraud, no sales tax collected by Eli and Alex. They don't give you any VIN reference for sold parts so you never know... you may be buying stolen parts. They will sell you parts that don't fit your vehicle and then wont take refunds. BBB is tracking them for unethical business practices. read more

Please trust these one star reviews. Owner is entirely unresponsive to requests for refund for wrong part sent.

Liars thieves and scum bags. They over charge for garbage parts. Everything they sell is listed as an A grade. They sold me bad air compressor, then refused to give me money back. They later said they sold the same air compressor again and that the customer said it worked fine... if it worked fine why would I drive 30+ miles to bring it back? They gave me in store credit for the compressor. Then when I went back to use it in an attempt to get some use out of my already lost $ they refused to take the in store credit. The kid who signed the in store credit receipt said he forgot to write 30 days only on the paperwork and that they can't accept the credit if it has been more than 30 days. I called in again on a headlight, he said it was A grade no damage. This part is for an insurance job at my shop and has to absolutely be an A grade part. When I got there the part was damaged, two broken tabs. The child behind the counter argued with me that it was still a good part and he wanted $125 for it. I walked out. Still in disbelief that this company is in business. Do not waste your time $ or gas, these guys are crooks plain an simple. read more

Buy from this place at your peril. Pay attention to the reviews. The parts are all kept outside, the yard is muddy and they won't make it right if there are problems. I bought a part and the told me one price, then doubled it when it was time to pay. I won't be back. I found out more about this place since I went there and suffice it to say it's worse than I ever imagined. read more

One of the worst wreking yard, dont buy nothing here, i order a part and i wait like 4 weeks, dont waste your time with these clowns.
