I have been going to this scrap yard all my life when Bobo's owned it it's a great place the people are friendly once you get to now them, they pay you for your scrap and they have car parts. Give them a call if you need something for your car or truck they just might have what you need.

Been taking scrap & other materials here for years now. Personal and business, and I always have an excellent experience here. The ladies up in the booth are always kind and nice ! The guys in the yard are knowledgeable and can help no problem! My kids especially love the picker operator, he pulls all the scrap out of the trailer with his magnet and then flings it into the pile! The kids just love it!
