I received excellent help from Andre who took the time to search for parts that are extremely difficult to find. He is still searching and returned my email very promptly! These type of businesses rarely have kind people to speak with. Thank you Andre for continuing to still search for my Nissan Altima Torsion Bars and your kindness! Gail K. Oceanside read more

I highly recommend this place, they've been around this long for a reason. Oem parts are easy to find for my jaguar

Terrible experience. Complete waste of money. I bought a used transmission for a Porsche Macan from Montoya's Auto Wrecking & Auto Repair. Before knowing the transmission was bad, I paid for professional installation. After the job was done, it turned out the transmission did not work at all. Because of this, I lost money on the part and on the labor. When I contacted the business, they refused to take the transmission back or issue a refund. This shop sells faulty parts and takes no responsibility for the consequences. Very dishonest and untrustworthy business. Avoid at all costs. read more

Greatest junkyard on the street. Great prices, really helpful employees. Bought a 2017 Mercedes driver side mirror from them.

Great prices good quality parts my go to for anything european related. great customer service

Good customer service. Workers were helpful. Gave me all the parts I needed on time without a hassle

I drove about 1 hour to pick up a part that I was told over the phone that it was "insurance quality." Surprisingly it was not insurance quality and damaged with trim broken and deep scratches. Not even five minutes after purchasing without being able to look at the part thoroughly and part still on the car I was told that I could not get my money back. The representative was of no help and couldn't care less about the situation saying I could not get cash back and it would be at least 25% restocking fee, eventhough the part is still on the car. After having to wait about 30 minutes for the part the mechanic who took it off the car damaged it even more. It's unfortunate that such a business deals with customers in such a disrespectful manner. read more

My car that they sold me did not last me more than 4 months! Do not come here. these people are scammers. They will talk you into believing the car is in amazing condition. Robert sells car that do not last. They're junk cars they fix and don't last. I spent $10,000 dollars on a Jaguar 2017 XE, it blew up on the freeway after even going back and fourth with repairs at this shop. DONT DO IT. read more

Found some parts for my Land Rover here, good service and quality of the parts. They have a large selection of cars.

Not only are they scam artist, check out how inappropriate and disrespectful they responded in messenger to a bad review. I cannot upload the screenshot of the text thread: Word for word response "Hahah u definitely did not come twice and it's all on camera, and you don't even got a business online so u have no stars (cry emoji), we got 4.2 and I'm not surprised u leave a review like a little b***h with ur skinny a$$, u would never try some s**t in person cuz anyone would knock ur little a$$ out and f**k ur hot a$$ chick right in front u, and I'm keeping ur lousy money that u was begging for a discount about and I hope u stay in San Diego for a little while son" "and ima find out who ur girl is too and ima f**k her like a mf dog she gonna fall in love w me" (3 lol emoji) Absolutely be aware of who you are dealing with.. This is extremely uncalled for and very inappropriate. No customer should ever be treated this way. read more

Dependable, knowledgeable and results-oriented, Robert Montoya and his crew are fantastic! I thought my Mercedes was done for and I was going to be forced to buy another vehicle. At the recommendation of a friend, I brought it in to see if they could diagnose issues with my cooling system and find me one at a fair price. Did they deliver! Before we even started, Robert did a test right in front of me to see if the vehicle was worth repairing. After determining there were no fatal flaws (i.e. a cracked block), they not only found me a radiator and reservoir far below Mercedes market, they got it back to me running like a top. No more quirky problem indicators on my dash. They were thorough and personable. The cherry on this sundae is they then did what no other mechanic could do -- they managed to open my vehicle trunk, which had been stuck and of no use to me for six months! They even found me new turn signal and brake lights (which I hadn't been able to replace for months because no one could open the trunk; one mechanic wanted to take a blow torch to it!) Thanks to Montoya's top notch team, I can drive with confidence and enjoy a few more years out of my ride. Should any more problems occur, I'm headed back to Robert, John and the team. They deliver tier-one mechanical expertise and solid OEM or replacement parts at an eminently fair price. It's a par 5, but for any luxury vehicle owner, it's worth the drive! And if you're in the market for a luxury *used* vehicle, get their advice. Robert's knowledge of makes, models, repair bills and what years to buy (and which to avoid) was impressive! He just might be able to give you a line on a sweet used vehicle deal. Any way you slice it, you'll walk away more knowledgeable than when you arrived -- and confident that you're getting immense value for your vehicle repair bill. read more

Save your time and money, do not do Business with this place. They are scammers and will sell you bad car parts and will not refund your money. Worst place ever. read more

If you are getting an engine from here. It's fine. If u are getting it replaced here. Run. Run far away until u find someone u trust. Got my motor here. Didn't seem to be a problem. Getting motor installed here. Get ready for a slurry of lies. Deadlines getting moved back. Lies. Even more lies about what happened and how. Lied about the oil pump nut. I bought a wire nut but the he never installed. And I asked him about it so many times because I felt in the bottom of my heart he's a scam. When I got my car back with some parts I also found the oil pump nut with wire. Sitting in its bag that I gave to him in. He says write a list and I can take any accessories off and put it on ur original motor. For free. But lied and charged me 500 for stupid things. I asked for a receipt or kind of an invoice. i wish he had something that said hey. motor mounts are 50 ea. and u need two. so that's 2x motor mounts for 100. and to install? well.....its not that hard to install especially with the motor out of the car.... well anyways hes gonna give u a receipt that doesnt tell you the whole breakdown and how it got there. if he feels like a number....hes just gonna go with it. and ur gonna have to pay it. cuz hes got ur car hostage. fuck this motherfucker. Look if ur looking for parts. This is the place. But if ur looking to get ur engine replaced and swapped, go find someone else. This place is not the business. Oh yeah. He says he can get ur cat rebuilt here for 450. Ended up charging my ass 700 cuz he used the wrong header and needed to get the header welded onto my exhaust. That's fine. Until I got see what they did. They welded the header directly into the exhaust. So If I ever need to take off the exhaust, guess what. I have to cut that off now. Also when I got my car back o2 sensor was never connected and melted it. After I saw the o2 sensor and shit I texted him and told him what's up on text. Called him after that and he never picked up. Fucking coward move. Scam. Run. Don't ever come here. Fuck Robert. Lying pos. 3400 for a mickey mouse motor swap. and it what do i get? melted o2 post cat. ziptied radiator. fucked up exhaust and cat. lied about parts getting installed. lies about anything and everything. i hope his son doesnt become liike his father. a piece of fucking shit. read more

Was lied to on the phone several time about an engine i wanted. No cash refunds. I got there from a 3 hours drive. The engine wasnt even out if the car like they said it was. The ad said the engine is tested but what they meant was that when they got the car, it was running. The salesman had an attitude with over the phone and in person. The engine obviously had a head gasket leak... this place was just trash i would never recommend this place it is very sketchy... i had a better experience buying my engine from a private seller. He atleast knew alot more about the engine...fuck this place read more

Scam artist, they don't keep their word and try to sell you parts that don't work, they said they would load the engine with equipment, nope they tried to load it by hand with 3 guys and scratched my brand new truck. Terrible place to do business. The so called owner doesn't care and orchestrates the team of cons. read more

Very shiesty people. Will try to sell you anything even if they know it isn't working. Dishonest and doesn't even have real mechanics working there read more

Junior was very nice and kind! Went the extra mile and it's appreciated! Would recommend him!

I've been pretty irritated my experience for a while and don't appreciate feeling like I've been taken advantage of. Wouldn't recommend this business to anyone, and wouldn't recommend the owner to continue any other businesses, he is unprofessional and I will happily take my vehicles elsewhere. read more

It's a scrape yard people. The mechanics are not certified and don't have the tools they need to get the job done right. I spent $1700 for an engine Jose offered and recommended that they do the installation. It took a month and a half for it to get done and it's not up to par. They are not organized and not confident in their work. Robert has been doing this for so long that you would think things would be easier and cleaner when coming to the finish product. He needs to take a step back focus on the customers needs and stop worrying about make a quick buck. Because it shows in the work. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! They had an engine I needed for my car so I had my mechanic call them to ask if it was still available, which they did have. They told my mechanic that they would call him back the next day with all the information about the motor (VIN, compression test) but they never called back. My mechanic called them the next day and spoke to an employee named RYAN. Instead of appreciating the business they were receiving, they told my mechanic to go find business somewhere else after we asked him if they were going to provide all the information about the motor they promised the day before. Complete waste of time and energy and the way they treat customers is disgraceful. read more

The best service I have ever got with fair price. Those guys are professional, honest and kind. Highly recommend. My Mini Cooper the engine blow up Montoya team found me a new low mileage engine and put it in for a fraction of what repair shops were quoting me. I can't be more happy, thank you guys, I really appreciate your services. The mechanic was amazing, i forgot his name, tall guy super friendly, he helped me a lot, i came back to check another things and he cared about everthing. thank you s read more

Montoya's Auto Wrecking, advertises on your Website an Engine 5.0 for a Jaguar XF vin # SAJWADFB7CLS41316 for $3800 I called them and I asked them to facetime with me, and show that the engine is running in a good condition, they said it's not a problem, but he needs to wait for his mechanic, because they have to start the car from the bottom. So I waited till next day, and when I talked the them, they said that some company came and bought all there car's computer, therefore they cannot start the engine anymore, but they will guarantee the complete engine in question for 3 month, and if pay them by Zelle $500, there mechanic will remove the engine from the car immediately, and I will have the complete engine the next day 10:00am, if I pay shipping extra $150, and I agreed. So Renee Ayala texted me from his cell phone his information, and I zelled him for $500. The next day, around 5:15 pm, Montoya's Auto Wrecking's driver got to my repair Shop at: EuroTech AutoCare 13891 Redhill Ave Tustin CA 92780 Tel # 714-832-9122 without the running engine in question, instead the driver brought me the block and the head only, (the Heads where taped and really dirty and dusty, definitely removed from way before and not what we agreed on) So by the time I was trying to call Montoya's Auto Wrecking, the driver took off. and now they are not answering my calls nether returning my money. read more

This place (Montoya's Auto Wreckin in Chula Vista) is a scam. They tried to sell a broken car without transmission without mentioning it and pretending not to show the car. We gave them our broken car to exchange it for a different one. However, once we realized that it was a scam, they did not want to return our car and license plate. read more

They give things that are not the right parts. They are sleazy. They have no integrity. Stay away from them/

they sold me a defective part I called them an hour later they refused to exchange or refund the money , scam business , please be aware who you dealing with . read more

Do not recommend buying parts here. I been told that i will get my parts in a week, but i got them only month later. And i supposed to drive thru different bus stations thru my town , be on the phone for hours for a few days only to find in which bus station they are. After i finally found my parts, they were damaged, i saw old damage(cracks which didnt been and disclosed and very deep scratches) and new deep scratches because they didnt pack body panels. I was buying insurance quality A parts in "like new" condition. My amazon 5$ packages packed better than 300$ worth of parts. It was packed in tiny small food wrap without anything else. So they sold broken parts and then didnt even bother packing broken parts and they got even more damage on the way. Do not order from here if you dont want waste money and time. They refused to make return. Parts are useless, they are not repairable and i bought them as A mint insurance quality parts to just install on the car and dont do any paint job.(but even paint job will not help, because they are broken, too much big cracks everywhere) So basically i just threw 300 cash ..And of course they refused to make refund. So now i gotta report them to business license department of CA state, bbb and other investigators, so they will check them from time to time. Its not how you do business. read more

5/10/19 Brought in my car to get the motor swapped on april 13th and got a guarantee of 10 days and it'd be done. Another problem was encountered with the wiring harness so that 10 days turned into a little longer but I wasn't mad because from personal experience with cars you never know what else is wrong when you go to fix something else. I would call respectfully at the beginning/end of the week to check in on how my car was doing just because I didn't want to be a bother but Robert from Montoya's auto wrecking would tell me different days my car would be ready to pick up and I would go to call on those days and the pick up date kept getting pushed back. It's been 21+ days nearly a month that I haven't gotten my car or a date to pick it up. Haven't gotten mad or anything but I am getting tired of waiting. If you need a couple parts then maybe this is the place to go but for any car work I'd take your car somewhere else. Ill update this if i ever get my car back. 5/13/19 Update got my car back. Initially I was supposed to pay the rest of the 1200 since i paid 700 already but then I needed a new radiator so Instead of paying 500 i got charged 741 for the other half and Robert refused to take credit card. Upon receiving my car back there were parts that were not installed that were written on the receipt to be installed. So not only did I get charged an extra 241 parts werent installed. Ill get around to posting pictures of the receipt and with the parts next to it. read more

I referred my buddy to this joker and he tells him two weeks on an engine swap.its been five weeks and not a single word.i don't care about anything other than communication regarding these matters.on top of that he offered a number over the phone sight unseen and changed that once my friend dropped the car .( Very clean car) Then on top of that he goes from telling me he had a low miles replacement engine to bs' ing about wanting to replace the timing chain on it because " he's afraid it's gonna blow up within the warranty!" Who does this crap?????? STAY AWAY read more
