Horrible. Ive been calling for months after given an I.O.U. and still have not gotten paid from them. This is the worst place to go. Do Not go there!

HORRIBLE PEOPLE! a flat bed tried running me off the road and tried to ram up on me when I filled a complaint nothing was done. I would not do business with these people. TERRIBLE!

Cary Davis

I had a flat tire earlier today. A very kind tow truck driver stopped and put my spare on for me. He wouldn't accept any money. He said that he has a wife and kids, and can only hope that somebody would do the same for them. Thank you, God, for sending me this angel of Mercy! And kuddos to J&K for their choice of employees! If I need salvage services, I'll call J&K first!

Is no stars an option? Took some fencing there a while back. Got 70$ voucher to be redeemed at their "staff" manned "ATM" Tried about 8 times to get paid over the course of a few weeks and they never had any money to withdraw for me. Also ended up with two flat tires dumping the fence from my bed in the yard. Was going to take them to court, but decided not to bother. Still bugs me to this day.

Dayna Armentrout

They are rude. They have illegal inspections on their cars and half of everything on the car does not work.

Mark Leatherman

awesome place to dump scrap

OMPM inc.

2012 no cash, give I.O.U. never honor. it. Was assaulted, physically by the owner after he said vulgar things to a female with me. No class!

On March 22 2014 I dropped off 2 loads of scrap total worth $245.00. There automatic ticket and atm system was out of money. I was told the owner fills atm with money sometime after 10am but is never at the same time so none of the employees know when money is there. Unable to collect on the 22nd which was a Saturday, I returned Monday the 24th after work at 330pm ( Sunday they are closed ) and again no money in atm. At this time I was told the atm usually runs out quick so I was to get here early. When I asked the cashier if she believed this was good business practice I was answered with silence. I have returned at 845am on Wednesday being forced to wait for a money delivery. It is now 1030 am the 26th still no delivery and no were near the customers I was led to believe in fact of the 3 other customers I've seen and talked to one was paid cash 4$ and the other 2 were returning from earlier this week for payment. I refuse to leave at this time. I will update once paid or kicked out. At 1050am an employee made the effort to finally get me paid and he did so to him I say thank you. My experience with the employees was pleasant, unfortunately the owner leaves them to be the faces and hangs them out to dry. I found out the owner was on site. This troubles me because if he knew I was there and made no effort to reconcile his bill, leaving it to a concerned employee to take care of it what kind of individual is this man. I'd have to say this was my first and last experience with J&K. And I can only hope the employees find a better employer and business to work for. By the way there BBB Rating is an F feel free to look it up yourself.

Very rude and unprofessional... called for a quote and got nothing but attitude and rudeness. Nice to know what junk yard I WONT be supporting again!!

Buster Odonnell

The place is dirty but they gave me the money for my cans. It has the best prices in town.

noneya

Scrapped car, instead of cash I was given an IOU. Promised in 3 days. Well over a month and no check yet

Eby Heilman

Good place

Steven

Purchased mulch, really disappointed in the quality. It was black (not colored black dirty black). So bad that I ended up putting it where no one would walk. Mostly dirt.

Mike Mcclintock

I would recommend this business to anyone for their recycling scrap metal needs. It is a salvage yard so you can expect it to be dirty just like any other salvage yard however the people are friendly and a pleasure to work with. They are very fair and honest with their customer's.

Bradley Rinehart

One of the handier salvage yards in the area.

Ian Montgomery

It's always quick to sell my scrap metals here, Drive in & Drive out with cash, You can also take shingles and junk wood here and it's a lot cheaper than the landfill. J&K just makes sense, and they've never done wrong by me.

Tom Rupp

Keep on shredding and recycle america

Richard Reyes

They did a good job loading my truck

Adam Jacobs

Astonishing how sickly of a business this is couldn't pay out an already lowest payout ive ever seen $4 for over 100lbs of scrap steel then finally paid me in quarters many issues everyday with being unable to pay out a tab that they make you sign a recipt before you get your money stating you were paid and the recipt claimed i gave them iron

jamie gill

I wish I could give this 0 Stars.. I left my toolbox here and the owner told me I had to pay a FINDERS FEE!!! to get it back.. Because of previous times people lied about forgetting tools there. What a bummer. This place Sucks!

Liliana Munisteri

Easy fast and convenient! Very helpful staff

Jordan Voorhees

I do wish there was a button below Poor - Fair. The towing operation and drivers will scam you and and feed you whatever false information that they can come up with in order to jack up the bill. DO NOT USE THE TOWING SERVICE! There are plenty of towing companies available other than J&K. Use someone else.

Some Guy

Outrageous prices, deceptive, unfriendly, ect.

Bertha B

I need a tow so called them. I couldnt make out what they were saying. I asked him nicely for second time. He raised his tone at me like it make any better. Mind you im hard of hearing. Then i asked for third time. He got frustrated n rudely hung up on me. I never deal with somebody like that in my life. In the future i will not deal with their service again. It was very disappointed i might add.

Kimberly Bell

Was my first time there They were very professional and helpful I definitely was impressed. So glad they treat public so warmly and the help they give is so warm. Thanks for helping me out with everything.

Naomi King

We took scrap there May 5, and still didn't get our money :(

Alan Bocchini

Great prices on salvage.

Christopher Omar

I called Thursday for a scrap, the guy that answers the phone told me wasn't able to do a pick up until Monday. So I call back Monday early in the morning asking again if they're available. I get told no maybe later in the week. Total loss of time

beavis butthead

Always professional

Matthew Miller

In and out with friendly service

Entasazia McCarty

Aweful

Autumn Myers

Its now past 2 months and I still have not received money for my car they could conveniently tow and take my title for.. I've called about 5 times and it's always, I'll get back to you..... it's being mailed today...... words!!! How these people operate a business is beyond me. I should be read the reviews before calling them. Hopefully someone doesn't make my same mistake. I'll edit the review for my money.......

Jay Shenk

Scrap prices are coming back up. Was muddy today in the rain.

Nicholas Masciantonio

I was given a $35 IOU about 6 months ago. They are "out of cash" every time I am there. Something is wrong if you own a scrap yard and don't have $35 in cash... smh.

Andrew Senift

Synopsis: Don't waste your time and energy doing business here. I had to be brief because I couldn't fit everything I wanted to say in the allotted space. FYI, The Better Business Bureau gave them an F. I would have to say that I was very dissatisfied with the service I received from J&K Salvage. I dropped off a minimum amount of scrap (a few hundred dollars) and after they took my scrap I was asked if I wanted an ATM ticket that I could use to get cash out of ATM or if I wanted to go to the scarp office and collect a check. The guy was nice enough to inform me that the ATM was currently out of cash, so I opted for the check. I later found out (by employees/customers) it rarely holds cash and so many other people are waiting that when it has cash it doesn't last long. I was told they had to mail check bc they didn't have any on hand. 7 weeks went by before I called to inquire about my check. They had no idea and said they would call me back. They never did. I call back later only to get same response. 1 more week, I call and I am told they will call me back. I called them out on not calling me back and that is when it was mentioned to me that they are owed a lot of $ and are having trouble paying customers (oh, and I was told they couldn't issue checks. WHAT?!). Then why take my product in first place if you didn't have intentions of paying me on time. They told me to call after hours and speak with Joe, the owner/manager (idk). He was fairly rude and told me to speak to Yvonne and she would set aside cash to pay me. Well I was finally paid (3 MONTHS AFTER i gave them my metal). I will say that all the employees were courteous and Joe might have been just having a bad day. But I believe this company is having huge issues and forcing its low level customers to bare the faults of someone else. Get your act together or at least be more honest!

Benjamin Pabon

its been six weeks and still no money, don't understand how a business can take scrap from a customer and not pay them for it, i don't know what else to do I've been calling twice a day for six week. i don't have a choice but to go to the magistrate and file charges.

Brandon

WORST SCRAPYARD IN YORK PA!!!!!! its been well over a week and i still havet gotten my money full of excuses and lies thats what J&K is full of

Don Heindel

Crooks through and through. They steal your car under the guise of salvaging it and supposed to give you money for the tons of metal you just handed over. They aren't a business... they are a scam. I will be sure to tell everyone I know and maybe even get it in the paper and on WGAL!!! until this place is out of business.

jake stough

read the other complaints and all that is what I'm dealing with. Six months and still no payment

Minh Le

Never had a bad experience here. Get in early and get out. A little tight to maneuver around with a big trailer but still enough to get around. Prices are always better then Paz!

DrZ Studios (DrZ Studios)

scrapped a car with them same IOU ...BS been weeks of excuses as to why they dont have the money.

SA Marks

Sold them $134 worth of copper on 5/24/14, it's now 8/22/14 and I have NOT received payment, was told today by the cashier that they haven't had any money because they have money they've not been able to collect - was hung up on by whoever answered the phone there tonight - STAY AWAY!!!

kurt heffner

The people are very friendly and knowledgeable. Always treat you right, and are very knowledgeable. !!

Dan Young

Owner stood on rail trail and confronted random people for stealing his stuff. Horrible experience. Cannot recommend more going somewhere else

Robert Reyes

It's a okay place to go too busy all the time need to have patience when you come to j and k

Justin Holzapfel

Good people

Chris D'Orazio

Do not use these guys. They say the pay the best but don’t pay at all. The worst and I been in the business for 20 years. Please use a truth worthy company not these guys.

Ryan California

Do yourself a favor and take your scrap to East Prospect metal much better prices and easy to deal with. Had to wait for weeks for a scrap pickup just to find out after scheduling a pickup they scheduled something else. They proceeded to tell me “they don’t really give a sh$#, we have plenty of work”. Lack any part of professional run business. Now reading that fly scrap are destroying nearby homes from them. Poorly run and not competitive.

David Sutherland

It was great

Caleb Cunningham

Sold 2 cars to them and there was "no money" avaliable in their machine. Had 3 visits and mutiple calls into them before they finally wrote me a check. I have been using Prospect Metals lately and recommend them. I would watch my cars rust before ever selling to J&K again.

Robert Lartz Sr

went great

Jim Schrum

Good place to get rid of all your recycling stuff

Justin Sipe

I scrapped a car there on 10-18, the clerk said they had no money but i could call during the week and they should have it. Its been almost a week now and surprise no money the whole week! They do have the best price per 100 but good luck getting your money! They probably pay there employs with scrap and encourage them to take to a more reputable place of business! I'll be sure to update this within a week.
