Lakeside Auto Recyclers — Attraction in Carter Lake

WARNING DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR If you have spent much time and effort finding collecting and making your scrap the best it can be for the best price stay away from this place. I had a lot of quality copper and brass that I spoke to someone on the phone about prior to going there separated my metals as he said but it didn't really matter. As soon as you get there the crooks, I mean thieves, oops the workers grab YOUR stuff as if they own it do not listen to anything you say or ask then walk away from you where you have no say and cannot see what the weights are or anything. WHAT A SCAM they put a shopping cart on the scale with my 5 various containers all different sizes and weights and never weighed anything out individually and somehow came up with an overall weight. Then there is the whole classification aspect where you are certain to not get the appropriate grade for YOUR metals. There are plenty of other places to go in town such as element recycling ( go to their website and read the reviews if i haven't convinced you to avoid these shysters) because it will and you will be better off for it. Hopefully this helps someone or many to not get screwed out of something that is rightfully theirs by a bunch of bottom feeding thieves. And if your still unsure ask yourself why would they grab YOUR stuff and swiftly move to an area where you can see or do anything about receiving a fair deal.

A friend of mine took a van here and was given a little over $600 and was told to go here not only suggested by my friend but, several others as well. I just got back and I felt like I just got screwed over badly. I brought in a 2003 Chevy avalanche which me and my friend that brought in the van both agree that my avalanche definitely weighs more than the van he brought in. I was given a “I’m stealing your money price”. I was only given $380! I wasn’t shooting for $600 but? I know that I should have been given way more than $380. I also feel like they stole from me and also I tried to explain but the lady inside said she couldn’t hear me and just kept saying “we go by weight” and wouldn’t let me speak. This place will steal your money. I drove an hour and 1/2 just because my friends recommended it. My friends deeply apologized for having to direct me to a place where they steal your money. my friends and many others I told this to, all agree that something isn’t right! I will share this story with others and warn them until they pay me the right amount! I will spread this info like wild fire.. i have never felt so betrayed in my entire life. Never again will I ever think about this...

They really cleaned up down there! Lot's of things going on! Forklifts, tractors, and trucks moving fast! You know, I think they're scraping the World!! UPDATE: 11/19/24- I still think it's pretty clean, but them Amigos in the precious metal building have put a halt to me selling anything to them for any amount! They, for one, don't like to answer you and 2) can't explain anything to you either if you have a question or when they degrade your pile of stuff and paying you for something different! Or paying you breakage because of one screw but not tell you and you find out when your cashing and leaving thats Bullshit they are rude and don't know what...
