Riverside Auto & Truck Salvage — Local services in Oklahoma City

I wouldn't go here for business ever again even if there was an apocalypse and this dump was somehow the last place on earth to get salvaged parts. If I could leave negative stars or 0 stars for a rating that's what it would be!

The owner of this company is very unprofessional, insulting, rude, confrontational and tries to intimidate his customers! He clearly cannot take responsibility for mistakes made under his leadership or lack there of. His employees sold my husband the wrong part for a vehicle. When my husband made a 2nd trip up there to get the correct part, and Kyle, Riverside's employee, confirmed the part was the wrong that was firstly given to him the owner got an attitude about it. The owner questioned how my husband knew it was incorrect. My husband told him he knew because the holes didn't match up, he knows the vehicle, and he knew exactly what part he needed by the make, model and engine size for the vehicle he was working on. Riverside made the mistake in giving him the wrong part. If they hadn't made the mistake, then my husband wouldn't have had to waste more of his gas and time to go back up there. It wasn't his fault or his mistake that Riverside pulled the wrong part. The owner gets the correct part and literally dropped the part in my husband's hands in a very forceful and rude manner. My husband questioned him on why he was acting that way towards him. Obviously, this man wanted a confrontation. He was trying very hard to stir something up. After my husband questioned his behavior, he then proceeded to follow him out to his vehicle to try to intimidate him and act as if he wanted to fight him over a mistake that his business made. It isn't my husband's fault that they didn't pull the correct part the first time. Why do you have to be so angry, disrespectful, confrontational and rude to customers over a mistake that your business and employees made?

I called up there after hearing about this shocking behavior in hopes to speak to someone sensible in management to discuss my complaint about the behavior of one of their employees. I hoped I could seek a level headed manager to find out who lets their employees speak that way and treat customers that way, and I was obviously met with this same man that had treated my husband disrespectfully, who admitted on the phone that he owns the business. He proceeded to throw verbal insults my way saying inappropriate and vulgar things to me with colorful language in a sexual manner my husband and myself. He spoke of our intimacy, and then he went on to insult me. The things he was saying were so inappropriate and gross. It made me feel the icky feeling you get when you feel when someone abuses your boundaries, completely lacks respect for women and male customers as well and says inappropriate things to a stranger.. This was just sooo gross and uncalled for! I really was taken aback by him. I was disgusted by his behavior. I feel sorry for his female employees he has! Clearly, he has some complex and some anger issues to work out, but it would be nice if he would refrain from acting that way towards customers during business hours.

We will make sure to tell everyone we know about how this particular business with this angry owner that likes to treat customers with complete disrespect, and he lacks professionalism. He intimidates his customers on purpose because he obviously wants to feel big! There is probably a tiny little boys inside of him that got picked on, and he channels that past anger to run a business with a toxic environment. Well, guess what? What goes around comes around, sir! If you want to be miserable, behave like a child, an indecent human being, treating women in such demeaning ways, and treat others horribly as well for no apparent reason, I would image it is going to continue to reflect poorly on your business and personal life. Have fun being an insufferable human being because of your unresolved issues! We won't be back to watch you smothered in...

Monday (April 14, 2025). Our mistake. We should have done our homework and read the reviews. We trusted our mechanic. He probably had good experience with them. He had confirmed with them, over the phone, the Friday before, that the parts were available, at $65 each. I guess we didn't have the luck or this business were understaffed or demotivated. I can't rate lower than 1 star. We asked for 3 items. Bought 2 (rear bumper and duct sub-assembly) of our damaged items to show them. Miscommunication, only 2 items (rear bumper and tail light) was understood. Our fault, we should have double-checked. Anyway, we paid for the 2 items. That was at 11:04 am. We were told it would be available after 2 pm. That was 3 hrs between. So we left. 2:18 and 2:21 pm, we called to check. They said they were going to pull the parts out then. We were thinking, if we didn't call, we won't know when they would pull them out. Took them about 1/2 hr to pull out the item because at 2:52 pm, they called us and said we could come and collect. And guess what! There were 2 cracks in the bumper. They said the tail light were burnt and unsaleable so they refunded us for that. It would be respectable for them to call us and let us know about the tail light instead of telling us when we got there. We were not happy with the bumper (with the two cracks) but this was a salvage yard. I don't know if other salvage yards do this or not, but this one charged 4% of the salvaged part, which they listed down as yard fee. So for 1 salvaged part, you would be paying $73.43 ($65 for part, $2.60 yard fee, $5.83 tax). So for us, the unsaleable tail light was a blessing in disguise. I ordered from Walmart.com the tail light (new) for $52.87 ($48.46 for the part, $4.41 tax) and it was shipped free to our home! We regret for paying $73.43 for the left rear bumper (with 2 cracks) from this yard, because we would have paid only $45.63 ($41.82 + $3.81 tax) new and shipped to our home! Taught us a lesson to always check if a part could be bought online and compare the prices. We will not go to this salvage yard again. 1st experience and it was a...
