Hostetter's Salvage Yard — Local services in Lurgan Township

I wanted to share this because I thought it was absolutely stupid that I was denied a part. I'm checking now to see if that part could have been potentially used on my car. I have a 1999 Volkswagen beetle. I believe the silver one in the back did not have the right valve cover. There was another bright green Volkswagen inside of a fenced area. I walked up to the front counter and the very nice lady up front had told me that they pay extra for those vehicles so I was going to end up paying a little bit more for those parts which I was okay with. I walked up to the man that I was told to ask to open the gate and he asked me what part I wanted. I told him that I wanted the valve cover. His response to me was "oh I don't want to have a good motor torn down" I was respectful but the only thought that had crossed my mind was the name of the place is called hostetter's salvage yard. It's not an auto sales, it's not an auto shop, it's not a dealership, so why was I told that I am not allowed to tear down the motor to get the part that I need to make my car run again?? They have cut down a lot of their vehicle selection by removing a large area and putting a fence around it but they won't let me access the car for the valve cover which is the only part that I need. I have never ever been to a junkyard or salvage yard where I was denied a part because they didn't want the motor torn down. It was a waste of gas to drive all the way out there in my truck jus to be told that I can't pull a part from a car IN A SALVAGE YARD!! Good job, you lost a frequent customer that had been going there for years. I promise I'll be telling everyone to avoid that yard. I'm not sorry for that. I was genuinely irritated n you wasted...

i would rate zero stars if i could. i do not recommend this place to anyone, i called asking if he had a 2000 toyota sienna windshield and he said he had six right? well i drove two hours to finally get there to find out HE SUPPOSEDLY CRUSHED 4 OF THE VEHICLES AND the two left were broke. Im sure anyone else would be pissed at this a_s hole for going through all this to have them be broke and smashed. They dont seem to want your money since they dont care about what their customers want. You should at least tell someone if the vehicles are going to be crushed or if you REALLY HAVE IT OR NOT before wasting someONES time. I'll just go to johnny's u pull it since they are worth the...

Cheap tow for scrapping a vehicle. ($40) This was the 2nd vehicle I've scrapped with them in a 2 year period, and the tow drivers I have dealt with were so friendly, more than I expected they would be. The scrap prices are fair, and with title in hand, the checks are cut quickly. The women in the office are also very kind. Nice little family feel and kindness everywhere. No B.S. kind of place. They have their stuff together, and you won't be waiting around for any answers. Great place to...
