Ive always had a great experience from this place. I would give them 4 stars, just because they take a while to pull your parts sometimes, but theyve really been good to me on a customer support level.Read the rules ahead of time, and dont buy if you dont agree to the terms they clearly lay out for you. If thats how you approach Riverside, youll get a lot of years of good service and parts at a great price.
Do not recommend buying used engines from them. Bought a 5.7 Chevy for a 1000 dollars and had to use parts off my old engine because its had so much sludge build up, on on top of buying all new gaskets. Guy who works the front desk argued with me saying the engine did not look like it was installed. Poor customer service and will not be coming back or recommend anyone to them.
Parts in a pinch. Needed a side mirror replacement for my Crown Victoria and they sure did a better job than OReillys with locating a complete mirror assembly. Cant go in the yard yourself which means youll have to act on faith that they have the part youre looking for but it seems like Im not the only one who had a good experience.
Called the day before and said I would be in to buy a part, drive 90 miles for them to put me on a long waiting list for a part that only requires removing screws to take off. These guys have plenty of costumers, they dont need any more!!!
I gave them 1 star only because it wouldnt recognize 0 stars. Extremely rude, un professional, useless, I cant stress enough how much I will never darken their doors again, and would encourage others to avoid doing business with them at all. A total waste of time.
The people were polite, friendly, helpful. I bought a door for my cat and the wrong one was pulled, but the correct that and delivered the right one. They were awesome
Drove 30 mins for a part they said they had. Got there waited 20 to find out they didn’t
Never had a problem at Riverside. Have to wait as many parts are still on the cars. Take some time to pull them. Always had good parts at a reasonable price.
I had a very good experience with Riverside Auto and Truck Salvage! I called ahead of time and they had my part ready and waiting. They even gave me tips on how to install it.I highly recommend them!
I bought all my parts for my escalade from here for my new front end spent under $250
Had to get parts for a van, that were outrageously priced in store and online. With river side I got good parts for a real nice price. Thank you riverside greatly appreciated.
Terrible customer service, decided to pay a little bit more for parts to not have to deal with these folks. Save yourself the trouble and just call literally any other salvage yard.
U call ahead u go in and pay for it amd they pull it they call u ans u go.and pick it up love this place
Definitely backpedals on price and time frame. When caught will threaten with a gun and call you a liar. Called twice and was told it was ready.
Waste of time, they want you to pay for it first
Let us go out in the yard and look at the parts. Fair prices. Did not take too long for them to pull the parts needed.
I called 6 times when they answered they hung up immediately before I could ask if they had a part I was looking for. Not very good on customer service.
Unfortunately couldn’t give this unprofessional and scammy place zero star.
Some of the masses folks show over me and always enjoy to see yall love yall
Even brought out the part to us very nice let us put a deposit and pay that way He was so nice.
This place is horrible. I called to make sure they had the part I needed. I drove an hour and half to get a part that they said they had. Then I got here and we paid them and they said it would be an hour to an hour and half wait and they called me and said that they didn’t have the part. They gave me my money back thankfully. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE AND DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING ON THEIR WEBSITE.
Was sold a wrong part after paying for it per their policy. Was told I couldnt get my money back and the part was mine now. I wont recommend this place to anyone
Good place to go if you really need something, but watch out cause theyll walk back the quoted price and go up on you.
Its a family owned company that is not out to screw you out of your money. The staff is real friendly and the are helpful. They most likely always have the parts that need. Thank you Riverside for all that you do.
165$ for a used 2011 Corolla passenger fender. I asked if I could have their parts puller compare my front bumper small sample color to the one in their salvage yard. The phone clerk said rudely no! Sir you must first pay for the fender first. I said Certafit off reno in Oklahoma city sell the exact NEW Fender for $44.63 primed ready for a body shop to paint. I was quoted $85 for the paint work if I brought the New Fender to the body shop. Its like they dont care that the part they are selling will cost me more to have it repainted and fixed for dents since its a used part. Stay away from this RIP off salvage yard!!!
Used car parts at a fairly good price. Family owned and operated.
Horrible. They make you pay first pull wrong parts then refuse refund!UpdateLuckily I used my USAA credit card when I made the purchase. The owner had the wrong $350 truck bed panel pulled, then argued with me on what size bed goes on my truck 😂 and still charged my card😡So I left the part there contacted USAA and they reversed payment after an investigation. Took almost 2 months.The owner is incompetent, rude and sarcastic and will try to screw you over!! STAY AWAY!!
People that answer the phone at this place are very rude. They have parts listed online and when you ask about a part thats currently listed on their website they say they dont have it. If you ask again or say its still on their website they start being mad and yelling for asking twice and making sure if they have the part or not. Just makes me not want to call ever again and buy elsewhere for more money.
I read the reviews of this place and I’m not going to lie I was a little timid to try it, but the process was painless and I got the right part that I needed!!
Good smart folks know their stuff
Worst customer service I’ve ever had I called twice to make sure a part was there and then drove 5 hours to get it just for them to tell me they didn’t have it and that someone stole it.
VERY RUDE when calling for parts. Would recommend B and B auto recyclers or A-Z auto parts or anywhere else for that matter. Please do not call Riverside and maybe they will hire more courteous people to answer the phone.
Made me come back three times they couldnt even get the right glass until I refused to take the wrong glass.
Horrible customer service. Not worth the phone call. Very unprofessional.
CROOKS STOLE $40 FROM ME!! Charged my DC for $40, then stated theyd put the $ back on the card. Never happened, then I called multiple times and all of these clowns had a different story. The action Im taking now is to file a fraud report with my bank, this clown operation should be shut down. There are plenty of places to get parts from who dont look to screw you out of your hard earned money, this isnt one of them. My card should NEVER have been charged, it was NEVER authorized.
They pull the part and let you know when it is ready to be picked up.
I have purchased several auto parts and found their customer service to be excellent. When I ask questions, they provide quality answers and recommendations. They are very busy; however, my wait time has always been reasonable. The only salvage to give me a full refund on returned parts. Price for parts is competitive. I highly recommend this business.
They were slow about getting our part it took three hours to pull the starter otherwise everything else was good
The wrong part and not usable for my Jeep.They offered “store credit” and no refund.Do not recommend if you can avoid.
We own C&J Mobile Mechanic & Auto Repair in Oklahoma City. Riverside has been a very valuable resource over the years, especially when trying to obtain parts for vehicles older than 10 years. Kyle, who works he front desk, is most helpful and VERY knowledgeable. OKC is very fortunate to still have this resource as many in this industry have recently closed. Thanks guys for always being there when we need you!
Got here at 9:20 it’s 12:34 and they still have not got my part. It’s paid for. Said it would take 1 1/2 hours. Just now leaving there. It’s definitely not first come first serve
I own a auto repair business, I was looking for a motor for one of my customers I called riverside and surprisingly they had one, quoted me 550.00 for the motor so I went ahead and bought few other parts to make it a one stop shop. After i paid for the purchase with my business card i waited a couple days to give them time to pull parts. I drove 1 - 1/2 hours to pick up parts and when I get there, there is no motor. The person behind the desk said that someone else had bought the motor a week ago but has not picked it up yet. How is that possible when you go on your computer to look for parts it should have came up as sold. I dont get it, it sounds fishy to me. Anyway now I have to go back to customer and try to explain that I dont have the motor I told him I had purchased for him. Thats going to make me look bad not to mention now I got to pay for a tow truck bcz he found another shop that got a motor for him. Thank you riverside salvage, our first time doing business and our last. My dealing with you cost me over 2 thousand dollars not to mention the most important, a customer. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Called, they said they had the part I needed, gave them credit card information over the phone to pay for it. I live pretty far from here, but was already about half way there so I asked about how long it would be; the gal on the phone was very short and abrubt stating youre next and we close at 5pm, so.. I got there half an hour later and sat for an hour just for them to say they didnt actually have the part.
Prepaid for a compressor and was told 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Showed up 1-1/2 hours later and had to wait another 1-1/2 til it was pulled. Finally got it installed and it was no good! No refunds and dont want to wait and exchange for another junk part so Ill lose $60 to learn never to go there again. Also careful giving your credit card over the phone, they write down your info and leave it on the counter where anyone can see it. Unbelievable!
We searched others places and ended up here ended up picking up a spare tire and a door and some parts for our truck. This place was super busy but it has great customer service. Also went to look at the door in the back lot and had the time of my life riding in the truck that took us back there. It was like I was a teenager again and mud bogging in Arizona. I would definitely go back for more parts of I need them!
Very poor Customer service even when dealing with other businesses. I will gladly take my business elsewhere! Waste of time!
Great service and they pull the parts. They can tell you very quickly if they have what you need and how much it will cost. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
They will pull your part from a good used automobile. I trust Riverside Salvage.
Very rude asked for a 2004 Kia Sedona gas tank the pulled an 2005 Hyundai sonata tank then when told it was wrong they pulled the right one which was still wrong awful customer service and lost money never again.
Took a little while...they were very busy
Owner is very unprofessional. Requested a part for a 97 explorer they brought the wrong part out and I asked for them to get the right one and he refused to cooperate saying that it was the right part for that year. I told him he just didnt want to help anyone. He followed me out trying to fight me and told me to suck my mothers breasts because I was actioa like a baby and so on. I would highly recommend to not go here at all unless you want a confrontation! Very unsatisfied!!
I love these guys I had to rebuild my truck after question wreck and they were more than able to get me the parts for my 93 Bronco. They had a few times where they would swear they didnt have a part but I went out myself and found it. It is okay though with that many vehicles on one lot you never can know who stole what or if things are still there. These guys are awesome and did very well on their warranty.... please keep in mind I am a mechanic so I had no labor fees just two parts that werent up to par
Its odd how buying a part at a junk yard can make you feel so dirty. These folks have the personality of a wooden post. When I asked if they had the part I was looking for, they looked it up on their computer and quoted me the price. I said Id take it and there was no response other than the man writing something on a scrap of paper and handing it to someone else who worked there. I took that to mean they were pulling the part, but after waiting for about ten minutes I began to worry that maybe I misunderstood what their non verbal communication meant. I cant give them anything better than a 2 star review since their price was slightly higher than what surrounding yards charge for the same part, but with a much more restrictive warranty/return policy. For example, if I had discovered after paying that the part didnt work, they will only offer an exchange (if they have another one) or a credit for future purchases.The part did work, but after the lack of basic manners when I asked about the part, I was left feeling like Id done something wrong for even asking. If you buy a part from them, make double for sure it works and it fits, because once they have your money, they arent giving it back. Fortunately I didnt have to ask them to.
Great staff. Great customer service. Thank you!
Do Not Bother. I called, and didnt even get a hello before I got attitude. There is absolutely no customer service. The prices were high, and by all accounts poor quality. Thank goodness I found Best Price Auto Salvage before purchasing from this company. Give them a call, and dont waste your time with Riverside.
Found the parts I needed at a reasonable price and I didnt have to pull them! I was able to pay over the phone and pick them up at my convince. Friendly and helpful service!
I drove one hour to get a mirror for a Ford F-150 I called him two hours before I go there they didn’t have it ready. I had to wait an hour and then they said the one they had it wasn’t good. Not good.
Had what i needed for my car.
Would give 0 or negative 1 if I could. I called them, explained I have cash for the part, and I had to drive down during my lunch hour to pick up the part. They will not even pull the part until it is paid for, and then then will call you when it is ready. In order to do business with them, I would have to waste my lunch hour 2 days in a row and spend so much in gas, it is less expensive to buy a more expensive alternator from their competitor. I explained this to the lady on the phone, and she did not care. Just said OK and hung up. I will pay to have things shipped to me before I ever go here to purchase anything.
According to the lady on the phone they dont sell parts here, just big items. Has to be the dumbest business model Ive heard of for a salvage yard.
Very nice people at the front desk. ...price was good and part was in excellent condition. ....
Simply a great place to get USED parts .
There rude on the phone and it takes them for ever to get what u need . And they just Staning around not doing nothing and we wanted about a hours 2.18.2020
Greatest place for used auto parts
Horrible customer service. Takes them hours to get you a part that you already paid for.
I own an auto shop. Auto-sports and bikes. I have been doing business with Riverside for years and years. Long before I started my shop. Keven, Kyle and Curt always give the best customer service you could want. If you call ahead they will always make sure they have the parts you need and usually have them ready for you when you get there. If your car runs on used parts. And they all do. Riverside is the place to go first for all your auto parts needs. I just cant say enough. 10 STARS
Called for a part, they said they got it, drove an HR and half they said they will need to pull it out and give us a call, didnt get a call drove again for an HR and half after 3 days, hoping they got it ready cause they said they have it, ended up getting a refund because they DONT have it !!! Didnt get a call, whoever on the front was unfriendly will not go back here and dont recommend this, the one in Ada was way better just that they dont have what we are looking but they are very helpful and friendly to customers
Had exactly what we needed cant complain and he had a cool green paint marker
I’m so sick of getting disrespected at this place. In person, or on the phone, they act like you’re a nuisance, when it’s MY money potentially going in their pockets. It’s been like this for years now. I’m finally done. If you don’t like working here, quit! It’s that simple. If you’re the owner, sell the place to someone who will treat customers, like customers. I wish I could give this place a zero star review.
Best place to get parts, super clean office with cold air conditioning.
I will for sure to do business with Riverside an his guys. Always had the parts I needed,an at Fair prices. Even though Im from Tulsa, making a trip to okc is well worth it.
I was able to get a used part at a decent price. The part I needed has got my car running again and so far has last almost a year. Great experience and I will be back if I need anything else.
I know Riverside Salvage Yard for 20 years or better and I always had good luck with her parts go to Riverside Savage
Worst customer service I have ever encountered. Absolutely no respect for customers. Flat out rude and dishonest. Absolutely in every way possible avoid this place like the plague
I highly recommend to all my friends and family thank you very helpful and friendly 😊
Good place for parts, great people, they pull the parts for you, and at a reasonable price. Definitely going to do more business here in the future
Great place
This place will sell you a broken part and refuse to replace it like their warranty guarantees. The warranty even says, in the context that theyll replace defective parts but wont pay for labor costs, that since their parts are used, they can have defects not foreseen by the company (implying that theyll replace the part but not pay for labor costs). Yet Kevin, who was quick to let me know that hes the manager, and who is not afraid to raise his voice and be extremely rude in an attempt to show how right he is, claims that theres no way the part could have been broken and that the only possible explanation is that I broke it, despite the warranty acknowledging that their parts can be defective without then knowing. I would be shocked to hear of any instances in which they actually stood behind their warranty. I wish I would have known that this is how business is run here; I would have stayed far, far away. I recommend you dont do business with Riverside Auto Salvage unless youre the type of person that would enjoy a swift kick in the groin area. Otherwise, stay away. This place is shady and the manager is ridiculously unprofessional. At the end of the call, he hung up on me. Im wondering if the owners are aware that their manager throws fits toward customers who dont agree with him.
Got a used radiator that was rated to only have been used up to 60k mi. That may have been true but it was extremely filthy and was full of rust . And the nipple for the overflow hose had been broke off and some other concoction was glued in its place . Wasnt much better than the one I was getting rid of. Took to the carwash and spent 15$ cleaning out all the rust . Had to buy different size hose for the new nipple as it wasnt same size as original hose . And it still leaked . Ended up having to waterweld it to stop leak.
Very poor attitudes from the knuckleheads up front, trying to squeeze every dime they can from you. They will find a way to over charge you for USED parts.
Unimpressed
Worst experience Ive ever had doing business in Oklahoma City.
Called in advance to see if a part was available, was told it was...drove 40 miles to buy...salesman was walking around in zombie like state, scratching his butt, possibly working through a hang over from the previous night of drinking, I dont know..... I told him what I was there for....he didnt acknowledge my presence, even though I was the only customer in the shop...finally, after about 20 min. of silence, he told me they didnt have my part.Brilliance and proof positive, man descended / evolved, from the apes, unfortunately, Riverside employees were never notified.
Riverside Auto salvage---THANK YOU for helping me with the engine for my truck...its running great,,,,,I appreciate all of your help Riverside!!
If they have your part pay up front an have two hours to kill while they fish out the part an call you back. good service
I’ve never ever written a review about any establishment, but the service I received was so poor that I believe I have a moral obligation to warn others. Avoid this place. I called Riverside Auto & Truck Salvage to arrange for them to pick up my vehicle to salvage it, and the very moment they answered the phone they made me feel like I was bothering them. The guy who answered was very rude and I honestly don’t know how they picked him as their customer service. Throughout the whole arrangement he was yawning and making “ladadada” noises as I was giving him the specs of the vehicle (which left the impression that he was feigning writing it down), but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and he said that one of the towing guys would contact me (After reconfirming the number I gave him). Well…4 hours later and still no call so I decide to call to check on the situation. Reasonable right? Well…holy Jesus, Joseph, and Mary did this guy go on a tantrum about how there was still 20 vehicles ahead of me and to wait my freaking turn. I was absolutely floored. I wasn’t expecting such a rude response to a simple question so I just said, “Ok, that’s cool man” and promptly hung up. Never again.
Great price and professional service!
Very, very reasonable on price. Honest and very helpful staff.
Bought a drive shaft for my 05 Chevy 1500 at 1/3 of the price of what another place was trying to sell it for. Great price, fast and friendly service.
Purchase a part ask if it was powerd up was told it was. The unit is frozen never used it will not refund 70 buck ripoff Beware theifs will rob you for a buck. They did exchange for good part
They have mediocre customer service, however, the number that is on here is no good. Every time I try to call it, all I get is a busy signal. This needs to be updated with a good number. I havent been able to get a hold of them in weeks.
Fast friendly service
One of the worst wrecking yards I ever encountered in the country and I deal with a lot of different states. they act like they hate you calling them and they tell you itll be ready this day and it never happens. do yourself a favor and use Ebay. I like to support local but not with these fools.
Terriblely rude. Told me he couldnt get the part cause I dont have the old one. Wouldnt even try to help.
Great place to get your parts for your vehicles good staff and quality assurance.
Great people! Great prices! Great parts!
Always friendly. Love Ms Barbara
Super people,super service and quality parts A-1
I have been trying to get ahold of them for 3 weeks every time I call I get put on hold and have waited up to a hour before I hung up. Dont use this place very unprofessional
