I have been to a number of pick-ur-part style junkyards and I was really impressed by ISA.
First of all, the facility itself is really professional. I'm used to places where they have a shack, a turnstile and you give some guy a couple bucks to go in. ISA has a large, spacious, air conditioned structure with a professional staff that is ready to point you in the direction of the vehicle you need.
Speaking of which, finding the vehicles you're looking for couldn't be easier! There is signage! Honest-to-god signage that says things like "Ford Trucks" rather than "Domestic Truck / Van / Car." The yard is tidy, with nicely raised vehicles and without the flotsam and jetsam of discarded parts that normally litters the ground. Also, free of charge, they make wheel barrows available for you. How awesome is that?! Anyone who's lugged their toolbox around and then tried to figure out how they're going to get the parts they need up to the counter can agree that this idea works.
The staff is very friendly, helpful and professional.
The prices are good (for salvage parts, anyway) and the availability of vehicles is pretty decent.
I was not expecting such a good experience, but I'm very happy to know that ISA is around! read more
