A good place but note it is in the top far east corner of Toronto. I wanted 4 wheel rim and the first time I called they said come in to the location and order them but they were in the New York yard so would have to come back next day or so to pick up. Did have the time to do that so called again after a week and spoke to Marco who did send me a pay-on-line-link. I paid and picked up the next day. So question, is Marco the only one who can send an online link? The place is organized and runs well. Note I was getting wheel rims for a minivan so a common item I could understand if it was an unusual parts
From first contact with Gail to Brad who came to pick up my daughter's car to be scrapped, the experience was excellent. Gail clearly explained the whole process and made all necessary arrangements to pick up the car. Brad arrived promptly …
I cannot express how amazing and flawless the whole process was! One phone call and the next day my car was picked up, I got cash in hand, money to spend at the wreckers, and they take care of the vehicle ownership with service Ontario! JUST UNBELIEVABLE all the way around! A huge thank you to the amazing and very professional office staff, Gail and Nicole! And another huge thank you to Blair the sweetest and kindest driver who came to pick up my car! I had the best experience and recommend Standard Autowreckers to everyone! Thank you all so much for such a great experience! Last, but not least, the best part is Standard Autowreckers will plant a tree for every vehicle you turn in and they provide you with a beautiful certificate with your name on it! Superior customer service and helping the environment, can’t ask for more than that!!!
I love coming here even on days when I don't even need parts! I feel like a kid at a candy store. Coming here with my old man and poking around is time well spent. The Staff are very generous and kind.
From first contact on the phone with Gail (who was so friendly and warm) all the way to Blair, the gentlemen who towed my vehicle away; the experience was friendly, easy and fast. Blair was great in figuring out the fastest and easiest way to get my vehicle rolling after sitting for more than two years. He was friendly, funny and a true professional.
I had my first ever experience at a wreckers and am happy it was Standard Auto Wreckers. Ram, Jeff and team were Very helpful and courteous. And I was delighted to experience their positive words about their owner ("best owner I have worked for"). This was reflected throughout all my interactions. Thank you Everyone.
I have been dealing with Standard Auto Wreckers for years, never once did they fail me. My most recent car purchase went above any beyond my expectations. Jon the tow truck driver did an amazing job.
Don't ever buy used parts from them as they are selling defective parts to the public as i experienced when i purchased not 1 but 2 of the same part from them and was going to have Midtown Honda install a Throttle Body Assembly in my daughters Honda SUV, they would not install it because both Assemblies were DEFECTIVE. I had it checked by another mechanic and the diagnosis was the same. I was able to get a used part from JN Auto Repair in Scarborough installed and not a Defective part that Standard Auto Wreckers sold me for 300.00 Labour Included and the part has been working great with an added Warranty to boot.
I called SAW and spoke to Lucas Toupin who helped me locate a replacement sun visor for a Camry. The order was placed and confirmed by e-mail within minutes and I received the correct part with all clips within 3 business days. Excellent service and prompt delivery; all at a fraction of what dealers are charging.
Had seen an ad online to get rid on my Nissan, and I filled out the info and submitted it. Gail called back and helped me through what was going to happen and set up a time and day for them to pick up the car. Great service from Gail, very professional. Had no problems. Blair came to get the car and was able to take the car no problem, very professional. great service from him.
Quick reply to my inquiry, part delivered as promised, decent website that matches Google searches with the proper part and does not give you a page where you have to start from scratch with vehicle details, etc. I had a dead alternator and a search provided a link to a page on their site. After asking for a quote, the sales manager replied by the next morning (I had requested the quote on Sunday night) confirming that the part matched. Good price too, about 1/2 of what I would have paid for an OEM rebuild and 1/3 for something on Ebay or Amazon. Payment was quick through their secure site and the part was duly dropped off the following morning. Delivery is $25 but that's not too bad when my car is sitting dead! Very professional. I'll definitely look to them for parts in the future.
Definitely worth checking out! Staff is great, never had issues with anyone there.... Super friendly environment, come with safety shoes or boots if you can, it sometimes can get muddy and slippery! ???? ...I hope they re-opened recently!????
Thank you so much to Gail in the office and to Blair on the road, both such great people, who really take their motto "Our Product is Auto Parts, Our Business is Customer Service" to heart. They offered a very fair price for our well-loved 2003 VW Passat - "Mr. Blue" - the car in which we took our first baby home! (and our first car with air conditioning.) Blair was extra kind to help Mr. Blue down the narrow driveway and to give our son Mr. Blue's flip-key as a memento. Standard Auto Wreckers also goes above and beyond by planting a tree in partnership with cartree.ca. Knowing that his parts will help other cars, and he'll be recycled for new cars makes it a fitting end for such a wonderful vehicle. We all sang "Taps" as Blair drove Mr. Blue away. RIP Mr. Blue! And thank you SAW!
From the booking to the auto pic up this company was nothing but I'm helpful and professional. Gail who books your appointment explains the entire process and I love the fact that the are involved with cartree.com and plant trees .Blair the driver was great followed all covid protocols called when he would be arriving and was on time. Polite and professional. I would recommend Standard to anyone. Thank you for the service experience.
Thank you Louis! Your office made the promises, and YOU kept them! Thank you for patiently showing my son all about what you do! I will definitely refer you to any of my friends! - Rob in Toronto
I need a part for my truck, I called them as I live 3 hrs away from them. They mailed the parts to me. I was nervous thinking the part might not be right or of poor quality. But they put all my fears to rest. I was very happy with the service which surpassed all my expectations which also includes a quick delivery. They also had the best price for the part. Thanks Standard Auto Wreckers
i had the pleasure of meeting louis who came by to pick up my vehicle for scrap, great guy, great service, and very helpful. would definitely recommend anyone recycling their vehicle to use louis. 5 star.
I called Gail and we set up a price and time for pickup of an old car I was scrapping. Blair arrived at the appointed time, loaded the car and we did the cash/ownership transaction on the spot. Fast, efficient, friendly and all covid precautions (mask/distancing) were observed. I’d recommend their services.
The service I received today from the team, especially the ladies Gladys and Denise, at Standard Auto was simply SUPERB! I got a fair quote but what really made the difference was their dedication to their clients. I had to call them a number of times, having to coordinate with CAA the towing of my car and reschedule multiple times, and never once did they display impatience or nuisance. They made my day!! I really can't thank them enough. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Standard Auto Wreckers were amazing! My parents (Leslie and Tessa Oliver) sold their van to them and Gail and Maurice were extremely helpful as well as being professional. They made the process smooth and simple. We will definitely be using their services again! Thank you and keep up the great work :)
Bought the car used. They cleaned it new! My Altima rims look ready for a rap video. Definitely satisfied.
Excellent Experience. Both Gail and Blair helped me recycle my truck at a reasonable price.
Called standerd auto had a problem with a rep on the phone david was so persistent and respectful he went out of his way to call me 2 hours after he was supposed to be off to make sure he could take my concerns and respectfully resolve the issue even had a gentleman from port hope named ian who sounds very knowledgeable about mopar parts david is very knowledgeable and made sure to resolve the problem as well as creating a new relationship at an honest and reliable company that takes customer concernes very seriously i would recommend anybody whos had a problem to reach david to resolve there issues he is very understanding aswell as a straight shooter.
I spoke with Gail over the phone, and Blair in person. The customer service was stellar. Prompt responses, helpful and welcoming. They each walked me through everything I need to know.
Gail and Blair, we’re awesome!! Made everything such a great experience. Very professional, on time helpful and would totally recommend this company. Thanks Gail and Blair!
Not good, it seems EVERY Saturday throughout the summer is "all you can carry day" for $50. They aren't open during the weekend but for Saturday, and during the week it's 8-5 or something. So today, Saturday (as I work for a living), I went to go get a specific bolt. Would they let me in to do that? No. $50 for a bolt. So basically, Standard is useless for used parts unless you need an engine and a door and are strong and willing to pay the $50 admission.
Great experience overall! They showed up on time and were very friendly. Took the time to make sure that all safety protocols were taken and to communicate what was going on to me. I also received a very fair price for my vehicle. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family.
Gail was excellent on the phone and helped me to arrange pick up of our old vehicle. Blair was very professional and courteous at pick up. Overall I’m completely satisfied and recommend Standard Auto. 5 stars.
Lots of cars the trunks are locked and you can see what is inside, to take the part which you needed.
Always love going to this yard. Great prices with lots of variety. The guys at the tire shop are super professional and do everything can to help you get what you need. Definitely a must if you're looking for parts or tires.
Spoke with Gail on the phone phenomenal lady had all the answers to my question. Got me an appointment within the hour tow guy Greg great guy very professional.
Well organized yard. Nice and friendly staff. The price lists are now posted online on their website. Most vehicles are raised off the ground which makes removing parts underneath the vehicle very easy. There are wheelbarrows and four-wheeled wagons available if you don't feel like lugging your tools around. Pricing is competitive and they have all you can pull days in the warmer months. The u-pic yard is not open Sundays during the colder months. Inventory updates are posted on Facebook and even walk around videos are posted during all you can pull days. Great to have this yard open again after being closed for so many years. My first stop before heading to the parts store!!!
I came in today after speaking to a representative. I have a part I paid for that i remove from a vehicle in the yard and the part did not fit, I explain to someone on the phone and let them know I also haven't found the receipt, she inform me that its OK and it be fine to bring back the part. When I got there they further explain that it only applies for parts they sell in Stock I would need the receipt, what a waste of time If I knew I needed it I would of spent time looking for it rather then waste two hours travelling and accomplish nothing
I had a really good experience dealing with this company. Gail was amazing to work with and got me a fair price, The tow truck driver who picked up my vehicle was a huge help and very professional.
Great Experience dealing with Gail. She provided me a quote for my scrap minivan. The driver Blair was great too. He loading the minivan and paid me on the spot as per the quote and gone.
Amazing guy, came on time. Definitely letting my friends know about them
5 Star service from the staff at Standard Auto Wreckers. Marco my sales rep was helpful and calls or emails back right away. I bought a used engine and it came in great condition and runs fantastic. High quality used parts. Delivery was right on time and they called ahead before they arrived. I will definitely be giving my business to Standard Auto in the future.
We are moving to the States and we needed to get rid of our car. Blair from Standard Auto Wreckers was very helpful and professional. Really recommended.
Blair is great! He was waiting for me searching for a registration paper. Glad it’s found and signed off. Thanks!
Worst experience. Today I went to this place. They made me pay $50 entry fees. And I don't even know what i am going to get. I found hub wheel cap two and they charge me $50.i can buy brand new from Canadian tire for $10 each. Very unfriendly rude staff and very dirty unsafe unsatisfactory Place
Great place to find scrap cars. On special days you are allowed to pay a flat rate and take as many parts as you can carry out with your hands, which is great if you need something big or pricey, because this way you can get it at the flat rate rather than the full price for a used part. They also have a parts store where they take the parts out and have a certain amount of stock. Great place to shop if you have a used or older vehicle and not wanting to spend full price for a part. Hopefully they have what you need in stock though.
Very fast, easy and seamless transaction! Gayle was so kind when I initially called to inquire about recycling my vehicle. Blair, the man who came to pick up the vehicle was punctual and very friendly!
If you want to scarp your car call Standard. From the person you talk to on the phone to the guy who will pick up your car, they are all outstanding. I called in to scrap my car and they were able to pick it up not even 2 hours later. Blair was the man to pick up my car and he was a real good guy. Good service and he wasn't just that kind of guy to pick up your car and go.Friendly and very good manners. Made it real easy for me to let one of my fav cars go
I'm not sure what the negative reviews here are going on about, but I had a great experience last time I picked up some parts for my car. Great price, the vehicles are labelled clearly, and the walkways are at least two persons-wide. There was a gentleman outside of the entrance who even helped me load up my purchase! Will definitely return (should the need arise).
Idk why so many people 1 star’d this place but its a great place to get parts for your old car and you dont want to pay the oem price for one. But parking is okay and prices are fair plus the yard is 5 minutes away from my house!
Had a car that we were replacing but couldn't get a decent price from a dealer. Not only did Standard Auto give us a fair price for the car, but they picked it up from our place for no charge. Gail was quick to respond to questions and Blair did a great job making things easy and safe. They are very responsive to COVID protocols and didn't complain about wearing masks or having to modify procedures. It seems trivial, but compared to our experience at the dealership it is nice to see a business having my safety top of mind. Absolutely would recommend to others.
I do find their service to be good. I call and spoke to ext 233 and he was extremely helpful in finding a solution. Go take your tools and pull your solution. Price is good.
I was referred to Standard Auto Wreckers by a friend. So glad I was. From the first phone call to the pick up of our vehicle - we received the best of customer service. Jackie took our initial call, (so pleasant and knowledgeable) and directed us to Gail - Gail was so patient and answered all our questions. what a great person with 'people' skills for customer service. Then there was Blair - who showed up on time - early one Saturday morning - (fully diligent and masked for Covid) to pick up our vehicle. again great customer skills. I must say from beginning to end - one of the most pleasant and knowledgeable experiences, great service.... AND we finished off with some $$ in our pockets. i would absolutely recommend Standard Auto Wreckers to anyone wanting to deal with disposing of their vehicles or looking/ inquiring for parts. what a great team !!!
I really found the sales and costumer service are not in conjunction , I have found the part I was looking and before purchasing I requested to have a look the part so I went personally and asked if I can check the part first to make sure I am buying the right part I have been taken to the lot and inside a dark C can without light and I used my Iphone flash light to have a look at the part I wasn't sure I checked it was Ok , while I paid and requested to have the delivered , they put my request on my invoice and since that day , when I called to find about the status parts shipping I was dealing with a group of people that all give us a cold shoulder and they transfer my phone one to another and even I have given the invoice number to shipping department the answer was there is NO records shows on the Computer ( Shipping Lady Said ) and I called more than 6 times in one week and left messages to the sales man there ( Mr Rashid ) he promised to call me back and give an update No answer , and Today July the 17 / 2015 I called once the line after holding for 10 minutes disconnected and I tried and called again and begging for the parts that I have already paid for it and a lady may be from costumer service ask my contact number and she didn't call back ?????? I really Don't know Is any one else experiencing with such a thing ? 1- If the parts was not in the lot what was the part that they showed us ? 2-Now even they don't know the status of the part and the sales person who I talk to buy the part He is ON and OFF his message is ON but No response if leave a message thanks to the one if they can get you your part or help you ........................ 2-
Amazing service, amazing people, and amazing prices.
I have followed Standard Auto Wreckers when the UPIC concept appeared on my social feed, I asked them to put a Range Rover into the area and i would attend - They did not disappoint - One came in - plans were made a friend enlisted - were both ex-yard dismantlers and car guys, So I loaded up the tools and left Tweed at 4am - picked up Tony and we got to the yard at 7am - Met David Gould and the crew it felt like a party atmosphere 'Something Special' and it was - Clean Yard - Super stoked friendly staff a great amount of camaraderie helping each other with agreeing who needed what, lending tools and know how and helping load each other up - Crossing the line was funny considering how much 'Loot n Plunder' was on us. We had a brilliant day and I was able to get a pile of parts that really made the difference to my wife's car - Finally after 2 years the windows roll down and with the rest of the haul its going to be a lot safer for winter, Only thing I could have wished for would be a chip truck or a bacon sandwich - you get a huge appetite wrenching lols - Thank you So much we are coming back for the OktoberFest its a brilliant day out and id totally recommend this operation.
Blair came to pick up the car (to be wrecked) in very good time. He was kind, courteous, and professional. He walked us through all the steps so that there were no unanswered questions. It was a recently deceased relative's vehicle, and Blair was very understanding of the situation. We were very thankful. 100% would recommend.
Above and beyond. My mechanic kept changing his mind about which part was needed which wasn't and i probably changed my order 3 times. However Pete was very patient and accommodating. I don't live in Ontario so all the communication was by email and Pete was very responsive. The parts were shipped to me at a very reasonable cost as well. Will definitely do business with them again
Great place to pick and pull, friendly staff, good prices, and especially free parts days for $60 all you can carry are a must! Got a lot of parts from here, and all but one part works successfully out of the God knows how many parts I've picked.
Bought a front drive shaft for my 2007 G35x, Marco was extremely helpful and polite, first time dealing with this company but I'll gladly buy more parts from here! Marco was also kind enough to give me the address and the business hours!
Having been a loyal customer for lots of years, I tried to contact them to see what they would give me for my vehicle. I'm aware they were hit with a nasty fire. I assume they lost quite a bit of vehicles due to the fire. This is why I wanted to sell my vehicle to SAW, to help add to their stock. Unfortunately on the phone all I got was an automated voice telling me about the fire. Is SAW not buying recycled vehicles or do I have to go to the yard and talk to someone in person?
From start to finish, we had an amazing, pleasant and seamless experience...from the first quote through the phone with Nicole to a follow up call/setting up pick-up with Gail to the grand finale with Maurice picking up our old vehicle! We …
I honestly dont leave reviews but I just have to, I called standard today to sell my car and the price was sooo blessed better then anywhere else, i got Nicole on the phone and she was so pleasent to talk to, she told me the reason and all the info, I really like her and they came the same day they were suppose to and early too that fit perfectly into my plans which I really liked. And then Louis was the driver to pick up my car, I never asked but I can tell hes a hard worker that hes been doing this for a long time because how profesional he seemed, he clarified everything, with a smooth transaction I was really happy, hes a very knowledgable guy, thank you guys so much standard and your ppls. You guy made my day.
Was referred by a friend who had been in the lot recently of a PT Cruiser that has not been stripped. I went in on the last "Free Parts" day after watching the livestream lot walk through on Facebook and seeing that same PT looking pretty much in one piece. I met David at the front desk, who gave me the run down professionally and quickly and off I went. After ripping apart every little thing I could carry, back to David and friends I went. They checked me out respectfully and quickly. Will definitely be back ????
Found what we needed. Vehicles are propped up off the ground making access to the underside much easier. Prices are good.
All sorts of inventory, friendly staff and fair prices. I've restored my old Safari with many pieces I've pulled from this location.
Very good service. Called to tow away an old family van. They were quick and friendly, dispatcher’s name was Nicole and tower was Blair. If u need to get rid of a vehicle with no hassle contact them. Will use this service again.
Dropped off my car for scrap last week and forgot a set of keys. They quickly were able to grab them and set them aside for me. And the whole process of scrapping the car was quick and painless. Would recommend!
Blair gave me a heads up that he is on his way. He showed up on time and was very pleasant to deal with. Explained everything properly to me, paid me and he was on his way. I highly recommend Standard Auto Wreckers!
Best place for parts , tones of savings. Love the upic department!
Bought a set of used tires from them. Found on kijiji, my truck uses an odd size, was amazed at the price. Thought I'd found the deal of the year. Tires were brand new. Never mounted. Tires were bought cash and carry, was waiting until closer to winter to install them to have maximum tread through winter. To the point, installed the tires the weekend. all four tires have multiple holes in the sidewalls. Un- reparable and essentially good for nothing. Now ive had to buy another set of tires and am out the money spent here. Id previously been a big supporter of standard having frequented their parts days and buying many a used part from them. Never again.
Once I filled out the easy to use online form to have my car picked up. Gail called me in less than 4 hrs to and the vehicle was picked up by Blair with an hr. It was a pleasure working with both of them. This is the only way to have your car picked up! I've used both the parts finding service and now vehicle recycling and I wouldn't go anywhere else! Easy and simple service to use! Thank You Gail and Blair for your wonderful service!
Friendly and professional service. I received a call to confirm towing of my car from the office and then was called directly from Blair who towed my car an hour before to make sure I was available and the car was ready to go. Blair was helpful and efficient, thank you!
Was dealing with Marco Shakouri looking to get a used Gas tank for my winter beater whom which, tank decided to rot out and spew gas all over my driveway during it storage period. Dealing with Marco since the benging, hook me up with a grade A tank, awesome service, even narrowed down a eta for delivery to my mechanic so I would not have to do a double trip!! A+ for Marco A+ for S.A.W Very tragic what happened with the fire, glad to see you guys bounce back!
I love coming here with my dad!! For so many years we have had a blast getting parts for our vehicle's ????. It's definitely a treasure hunt!!
Owner fixed my issue accordingly and in a timely manner.
Seamless and awesome! I called to have my car towed and wrecked responsibly- being green about it was very important. Not only do they recycle all fluids and parts, they plant a tree, AND pay you, AND you get $100 towards future parts. Win win! I have to say what completely sold me on their great service, besides the fact I called and they were at my door within an hour- was that I needed to take off some tires and replace with older ones. Louis was a champ! In the 29 degree heat, with stubborn lug nuts, he muscled those tires off with a smile on his face and kind conversation to boot. Call this company! Thank you again, I will be recommending you to friends. :)
My dad called and came in looking for a driver's side mirror. Myself and my dad would like to thank Steve for the much needed side mirror for my car! Truly appreciate it and amazing service! Thank you!
These guys are the best in every way possible, very helpful and always ontop of what they do, the yard is very big and everything is nicely put together for easy removal of anything, I look forward to coming next weekend, keep up the great work and not to forget, very very nice staff.
Today was a wonderful day. Thank you Greg for great service and the laughs funny man indeed! Service was professional and quick thank you again Greg
Had a great experience found the parts that I needed they a pretty much every car on there lot and the costumer service was great
Shout out to Blair & Louis. I like to thanks this guys for being on time for picking up my cars. Their very professional in doing their task. I highly recommend this guys for your towing service. Thanks guys job well done.
I ordered a tail light from Jon. Part arrived at the Scarborough location the following day. Excellent as well as speedy customer service.
Always the best service, prices and people working there! Got so much parts for my cars its unbelievable lol
I needed to get some parts for my 2014 Acura RDX after the dealer quoted me an exorbitant amount. Standard provided me with an OEM part(in great condition!) for far less than the dealer. Even though it's a used part, there are still warranty options to make sure you get your money's worth. Overall, I would recommend anyone who wants to save money fixing their own car to buy parts here. It's great for the environment.
I called for SAW to collect my clunker and spoke with Gail who was excellent. She offered me a fair deal (including the towing) and when Dave came to collect (less than 2 hours later) that same deal was offered straight away. Everything completely above board. Great service. Fair deals. Quick service. Very happy!
They were great! Gail was so sweet and helpful on the phone, and kept me updated on the towing process and timings. Blair came and picked up the car, he was friendly and professional! I called at 9am and the car was picked up and I had cash for it by 11:30am, same day.
Fantastic Service. Called a week prior to request a Quote for my used car; quote process was fast and easy thanks to Gail's assistance. Once I had booked a pick up, the pick up driver, Blair, was on time, very kind and time efficient. Overall, I am extremely happy with my service and will definitely recommend them to others.
100% RECOMMENDED. It was a VERY snowy day and as I was on my way to work was where I got stuck. I was already frustrated from the poor weather and how late I was for work but Dave Duke provided such an AMAZING customer experience for me - I hardly ever write reviews but he definitely deserved this one. He got me out of the snowbank, cleaned my car.. he was super professional and compassionate and helped me get on with my day.
Absolutely fantastic pick and pull yard with tons of variety! amazing prices as well, friendly and helpful staff. Perfect place for the DIY car guy looking for some good parts on a budget
I want to use an engine to make a table, like the photo I show, the best is the twelve cylinder engine, I would like to ask every one who has been here, I can find an engine here?
If you're a couple- STAY AWAY! Seemed like an awesome situation, gave them a call, very helpful over the phone, but that was it for customer service. I came by with my boyfriend, he was looking for parts, and had been informed when he had called that the 'upickit' area would have what he was looking for.... They didn't, ( don't get me wrong, they had a huge selection). And on top of everything, I came out to keep him company, sorry I am not getting all dirty and greasy, and the business would not allow me to enter with him unless I paid $50.00!!!! And to top it all off, if he didn't find what he was looking for, they would not reimburse him or myself (if I had paid) they simply offered a store credit.... This feels like highway robbery. Why on earth would I EVER want to come back myself to redeem a credit that is useless to me, I don't even own or drive a vehicle! ( this place is in Scarborough and I live downtown Toronto...) So pretty much, all you couples out there, don't bother with this place, they follow a ridiculous 'policy' and it's completely disgraceful. And personally quite disrespectful to the female, im there for moral support not to buy used, old, nasty car parts. So thank you for making me wait in a car for 3 hours... On my one day off with my boyfriend.
Would highly recommend Gail and Blake were great helping me get rid of my retired ride. Both were such a pleasure to deal with. But an extra special shoutout to Gail, she is an absolute gem!
"Disappointed with customer service and selection. " Emails and FB messages are not answered. I called and someone finally answered. I asked if there are any 2003-2008 Corollas in the upic yard. He confirmed "there are actually a few " when I went on Saturday morning there was only one down to the bare bones. I came out not getting the parts I need and felt duped.
Gail was very professional and reassuring over the phone as I had a lot of stress dealing with the tow sharks that tried to keep my car in their lot after my accident and charge me more every night, and she even called me back the next day to try again! Towing to the scrapyard was free, and the paperwork and payment was all done at the towing lot next to my car so I did not have to follow them to the scrapyard. Blair was the tow driver that took my car and was very friendly. Huge thanks to Blair for his courtesy and making sure I was taken care of and everything was settled with the towing sharks and my personal belongings were all recovered from the car before it was taken.
Blair came to pick our car today. Professional, detailed, friendly service. Recommend them everyone.
I want to advise you not to trust this company. We bought a transmission based on 30 days warranty after 23 days the transmission was broke down. Upon review, the management did not recognize the bail given to us.So be careful sure to deal with them
BOUGHT A G37 LOW KM ENGINE. THEY WEREN'T KIDDING. MOTOR LOOKED LIKE GOLD INSIDE. BOLTS BARELY HAD RUST ON IT. STARTED IN ONE SHOT. RAN SMOOTHER THAN A V8. FIRST TIME DEALING WITH THEM AND I WAS AMAZED. BEST PRICE I'VE GOT. ON TIME DELIVERY. CAN'T ASK FOR MORE. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE. THANKS TO CHRIS AND THE TEAM!!
Very big scrapyard they have around 500 wrecked cars includes almost every brand Very cheep parts and good customer service They also provide free washer fluid aswell You can go inside talk to representative and find your same vehicle remove your part with your own tool, which you need and pay just 10-20% price as compare to new part's price thats all. In winter it is diifficult but if you covered properly yourself yoy can take any thing from any vehicle excapt under body parts thats very hard to go down the vehicle in snow or muddy area.
Scrapping my car with Standard was a seamless process; both Gail and Greg were friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks!
Amazing place for older car parts as long as you are a little handy and got some time, a YouTube video can save you Some money. There pricing is also very reasonable. The only suggestion I would give is too be more organized . Have Japanese cars in one area and German cars in another, etc. Just to make it easier to find the car that's needed.
Marco was helpful, professional, kept his words by calling back on time and following up. He answered questions with clarity, can't wait to get my part. I feel safe to order from Calgary as he mentioned they have 60 days warranty. Will keep this post updated with any news
I ordered a part for my car on a Thursday and the salesperson promised it would be ready to pick up the next day at 10:30am. As someone who uses my car for work, I made a point of telling him that not having my car equals lost wages. The sales associate reassured me that the part would be ready on Friday. When I came in to pick up the part, the person at the front desk said "the part hasn't arrived. Come back on Monday". When I returned on the Monday, the part was still unavailable with no explanation. Clearly the sales person will say anything to get a sale. Don't trust their time lines and be prepared to be jerked around.
I called STD Auto wreckers and the person answered the phone was very professional and courteous. This continued even on the morning of the pickup. I received a phone call 30mins prior to arrival and Blair showed up on time. He was courteous, friendly and completed the task he came to you. I would like to add the Tree Planting initiative is dear to my heart and I commend STD Auto Wreckers for doing it
Don't bother trying to call and ask for a price of a part. The guy argued with me saying the vehicle was not in stock, while I'm LOOKING AT IT ON THEIR WEBSITE. I was able to tell him the location in the yard to locate it... he then claims the yard caught fire and everything is reduced to ashes. (I understand there was a fire, but cmon) I had him on speaker - everyone at my work is still laughing. Thanks for the laugh.
Bought an used engine and was told that the core would be picked up from my mechanic's shop in Mississauga later on and then $50 core charge will be credited to my account. However, they backtracked now and are asking me to deliver the core to their yard in Scarborough. Wow! Such unscrupulousness, never seen before!
I used the Standard Auto Wreckers website to inquire about getting my son's old car out of the driveway. Gail in the office got back to me right away and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Today, Blair came to pick up the car and the transaction couldn't have been easier. Overall the experience was professional, effortless, courteous and fast. Thanks guys!
I was selling or scraping my 2005 black L Series Lincoln Town Car, and emailed Standard Auto Wreckers June 18, 2021. I received a call from Gail the next morning. I was very impressed, as the week before I contacted "Ajax Scrap/Used Cars Scrap Cars Removal," - The company name doesn't make sense, I didn't hear back from them, no surprise. Gail and I discussed the vehicle and agreed on a price and she asked if I'd like to them to pick it up that day. I was unavailable, so I said I'd contact her next week to arrange a time for them to pick it up. Gail was very pleasant, personable, professional and assured me that I was dealing with a reputable Auto Wrecker that is fully licensed. She gave me her contact and extension number, wished me a good weekend and said she looked forward to hearing from me. I called her on Monday, June 21st and we arranged a pick up date and time for Wednesday, June 23rd between 8:30am and 9:30am, provided details of how the paperwork would be completed along with what was required of me for the tow. Gail said she'd call me 30 minutes prior to the pick up time. She called at 7:59am to let me know that the driver would arrive at 8:30m. The tow truck driver Blair arrived approximately 10 minutes early. He was very pleasant, warm, professional and knowledgeable. He prepared the vehicle to be towed. We completed the paperwork, he kept his copies and gave me mine, paid me and we said our goodbyes and he towed the vehicle. My experience with Standard Auto Wreckers was pleasant, Gail and Blair's customer service was very refreshing given that customer service today is an extremely rare quality these days. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Standard Auto Wreckers and would definitely use them again. All the best and thank you Gail, Blair and Standard Auto Wrecker for the smooth and seamless transition and great experience. God bless, Mardy W. Dixon
Today was a Bad day for me the want me to pay 450 dollars for used parts!! I work my ass off. For 3 hours a the hand the du not let me buy a rosted used cat converter...I left everything there...bad bad day I well go tomorrow to kaenny you …
Searched for part according to their interactive online application. Supposed to get a replay from them. It never came. Waste of time. Was watching my junk mail foldèr too.
Thank you to Gail and Louis for their professionalism and promptness. I would highly recommend your services to anyone. Really touched by your giving back initiative with the tree planting. Thank you again for all your help.
Louis and Blair came to my farm to haul away 2 cars for Kars4Kids program. They responded quickly, were very professional in their approach and were able to hook the cars up and haul them away in very little timw and with no mess left over. I would recommend them strongly - Art
I met Duke today and he was great, he introduced himself, he was very patient, was very helpful and did what he said he was going to do. I will definitely use you guys again. Thank you Duke! Nic
Very kind, friendly and professional. Very fast and easy process. Everything went as smooth as silk. Good price, free tow and a tree planted in my name. Great day for the planet. Thank you Gail and Blair
Standard auto wreckers is by far the best wreckers around! From order to delivery amazing service. Manager Chris will do whatever it takes to help you out and keep you happy!. When placing an order Len will find it no matter what, if it’s available and try to work with you on the price. Thank you very much for helping my small business thrive!
I have saved thousands over the years. Been going here since I was 18 years old. U-Pick lot is a life saver. Open during this pandemic, I was able to find parts in one day that I wouldn't have been able to source for weeks online. Thank you!! Staff was helpful and the proper distancing measures were in place to enter and pay for my finds.
Josh helped me clarify exactly what I needed and made the process of finding a used trunk easier than dialing the number to call him. Very professional and positive service should be recognized. Thanks Josh
I spoke with Gail who set up everything for me. She gave me so much information and was very pleasant and professional on the phone. Afterwards, we had Blair come to our home to pick up the vehicle and he too was very good at his job and was also very professional. Even their Receptionist who answers the phone is so cheerful and helpful. All in all my husband and I had a very good experience with Standard Auto Wreckers and will definitely recommend them to our family and friends.
I received a phone call from Standard beforehand letting me know the driver was on the way. Blair was right on time. He was friendly, professional, wore his mask, followed protocol. The job was done quickly and easily. Very happy with the service provided, and will use the voucher towards purchase of tires from Standard.
Marco was Amazing! Had been referred to him by a friend of mine and called standard to see if he could help me out. He didn't have the parts there because of age BUT he was helpful in sharing his knowledge about my options on how and where to get what I needed!!! There are not many people who go out of their way even when $$$$ isn't involved. Will be calling him again!!!! Thanks Marco for your advice!!!
Gail & Blair were fantastic. Thank you for allowing me to donate to Regeneration, Brampton.
I picked up a bunch of tires and parts today. Staff in the u-pic yard was very helpfull. I will definitely be returning when i need more parts
Lynda was amazing today!!!! She was super nice and helpful will all assistants, super thoughtful!! Also a thumbs up to Blaik, a super team!!
Greg/Gail. Great customer service. Very polite and made the experience very simple. They were very helpful also.
Quick and easy transaction. Was given exactly what I was quoted on the phone, no need to negotiate. I got fair value for my vehicle. The driver came within one hour of my initial call and was extremely efficient in the process. I received the payment and the car was gone within ten minutes of him arriving. Also received a gift voucher for a purchase at their facility. Great service, quick and easy.
Would just like to say how warm and courteous Blair is, he came to pick up our 95 Nissan Pathfinder to bring to the yard. After owning the car for over 20 years it was a bit emotional to see it go. Blair made the process very quick and easy. We were very pleased with his service. Thank you Margaret
Reputable company that has been around for a long time. You can trust them with your scrap vehicles and they will most likely match any quotes you received elsewhere with no issue. They first offered me $250 but when I told them another guy offered me $300 they immediately matched that and came the same day to pick it up. Great company.
I stopped by earlier this afternoon. I was trying to ask for the telephone number for port hope store and a lady in the blue shed kept yelling from inside that they're closed. As I was trying to ask again for the telephone number she then yelled in about a month. She was not even listening and would keep cutting me off. That is very rude for someone to not come out and assist a customer. Standard Auto Wreckers has always had such polite staff in the past. What happens? Did that lady manners burn in the fire? I'm sorry but I had to take my business elsewhere and hope you as a company well and opens soon. Best wishes
Had an old Saturn I needed to scrap and got recommended Standard by a co-worker. I've scraped all my previous cars and I find it's usually the same thing everytime. They offer you a price on the phone, a guy shows up and offers you half, then you haggle with him until you're happy. None of that here, I was told $370 on the phone + $100 credit for the pick and pull yard, and that's exactly what I got, no questions asked!!!! Easily the best wreckers I've used. Thanks to Gail and Greg!
Both Gail and Greg are very professional and friendly. Vey happy purchasing from Standard Auto Wreckers. Fully recommending and worse to give 5 stars!!!
We have been going to Standard for some time now, we have been able to find many parts for our older vehicles at fair prices. Staff is always very helpful and professional. On Saturday April 10 2021 I recycled my car through their program, both Gail and Louis were fantastic to deal with and were very efficient at arranging both the day and time as well as the actual pick up of the vehicle. Standard has a fantastic recycling program (probably the best I have ever seen). I am glad to have been a part of it. We are looking forward to our future visits. I would highly recommend!!
They had a lot of mazda 3's if you got the tools always a good deal!
we order used engine for 07 odessey we paid $1612 + tax on oct 14 2015 ten days after they deliver engine when we installed it start leaking coolant from head call & talk to sales person Malcom he said you have to replace water pump & …
Standard auto Wreckers never fails to impress. i recently scrapped a few of my own personal cars i had sitting around, they offered me the most money vs. the other guys. I was especially impressed by the professionalism and time management skills lets not forget their honesty. I spoke to Gail on the phone and she was straight forward with me and very helpful. Louis and Blair came to pickup the vehicles they were very professional , arrived in time and did not try to haggle with me on the pricing like other scrap yards. Great job Standard auto wreckers
I have been a Standard Auto Wreckers customer for over 20yrs. They never disappoint. When my father's radio broke in his 2011 Ram Truck, all he wanted was a stock deck to replace his. Marco sourced a new radio and provided a great price. If highly recommend Standard and Marco to anyone looking
My husband and I were getting rid of one of our vehicles so we were sent to Standard Auto by our brother-in-law. We had a phenomenal experience. Gail handled the sale and organized everything! She was very professional and so sweet to talk to! In this world it is rare to find good customer service with people who seem to legitimately like their job. Gail was happy to assist with all of our needs and any questions were answered promptly. Blair was our driver that picked up the van and completed the sale. He did an amazing job! They made sure they called ahead of time to make sure I would be around and have at least 20 minutes notice so I wasn’t caught off guard (I thoroughly appreciate this feature as I have a newborn at home) and could prepare. He took care of everything very quickly and made sure everything was handled on the up and up! He even called the office back to verify pricing and make sure we were all on the same page! Just an overall wonderful experience!!
Gail and Blair were great to deal with, fair price, very timely and I will gladly do business with them again
For my old 2000 Honda Accord, I used 'Retire your Ride' service and i chose Standard Auto Wreckers to pickup my car. The process was smooth right from start. Gail called me in advance to schedule pick up date and time. She was super friendly and answered all my queries. She scheduled the pickup data and time. Mr. Blair came by to complete the pickup and the formalities. Cash payment was made as discussed, no hazzle. He was excellent to deal with and the whole process was trouble free. Excellent company to deal with if you plan to retire/recycle your old car.
Marco went above and beyond to help me out. He was very professional, helpful and courteous. I will definitely be back!
Very bad service. I was referred here to order a window regulator for my car, the parts guy was very rude to begin with and even still I went in and made a payment I was told my order would be ready for pick up the next morning. The next morning I got no phone call so I called them they told me they'll call back after an hour I get a call back saying "sorry we don't usually do business like this but your order won't be ready until the following day" I gave them the benefit of the doubt and I waited until the next day, once again no phone call I called them and they say they need to call me back this time I waited two hours and I got a call back from the same rude parts man to say "we don't usually do business like this but we lost your part there's nothing I can do for ya so come down and pick up your money". First of all this is my first time ordering so what a first impression not to mention I drove almost an hour out to order this part waited for two days to have them lose it! And to top it off the parts guy had no decency or concern that this puts me in a bad predicament. Bottom line they have horrible customer service skills and I wouldn't recommend ever ordering from this company.
I had them take away my beloved car that I had driven for 16 years. When I called to make arrangements, Gail was so kind and helpful, giving me all the details I needed. When Louis came to tow my car away, he was also kind, friendly and seemed to care. All in all, they were both kind and helpful on a hard day for me, giving up my car.
What can I say, my first experience with Standard Auto Wreckers was a very pleasant one. I needed a new engine and of the three shops that I called, their prices were the best. Marco the sales representative was patient, accommodating and friendly. I must've called there several times seeking answers to questions that I had, and he was always willing to answer them without a fuss. The delivery was timely and the overall service was excellent. I would definitely recommend their services to others.
Gale at the office was friendly and charming, remember me by my voice, I felt like family. They were able to offer me the best bang for my car. I have and will continue to recycle my cars with them. Blair was awesome, the whole transaction took only 5 minutes. I can't ask for a more efficient / friendlier group of people. Thanks everyone @ Standard Auto Wreckers !!!
From Gail in the office to Blair with the truck, the service was terrific! they were both friendly and professional. The process could not have been any smoother. I was told I would receive a call 30 min before the truck would arrive, and that's exactly what Blair did, AND he showed up on time! I highly recommend this business!
From Gail picking up the phone at SAW to Blair picking up my vehicle, it has been a great experience! Will definitely recommend.
Today I called to get my car scraped and spoke with Nicole and previously spoke with Linda they were both very helpful. Blair came to pick up my old nissan to be scraped today, he was very nice and professional. Took of my old plates without hesitation for me when I asked!!! I overall had a great experience and will recommend to my friends!!!
Louis and Blair very helpful and very professional went above and beyond and helped me get rid of my old car on there day off thanks guys for your great work
Blair came and quickly towed my car. He was respectful, professional, and friendly. If you're looking to wreck your car I recommend standard auto wreckers for value and great service.Thanks
I found an engine online at Standard, my mechanic ordered it, had it delivered to the shop, it was installed and luckily it works just fine for a used engine. I think the engine costs a fortune, but what are you going to do. The replacement engine went into a recent car purchase. Unbelievably, just 67 days into having this car, the engine #blewup. The car was bought through #SpotlessAuto in #Whitby, who washed there hands of the whole thing.
It's been over 10 years since I scrapped a car. From the moment I spoke to the Gal in the office to watching the old car disappear around the corner, I was glad it was Standard Auto Wreckers. Car was gone within 2 hours. Gail gave me the best price, very professional on the phone, gave me all the details for the pick up, and called back 20 minutes before the Tow truck arrived, charming to talk to, a great asset to their company. Blair did a great job on the pick up. Made short work of the seized up brakes. Went thru the car to make sure I got everything out. Very pleasant and professional young Man. Will always use Standard. Thanks for making my day.
I really recommend Standard Auto Wreckers because they provided a great service. Gail and Louis are amazing in providing a prompt assistance in a professional way and outstanding work ethics. I would recommend this company without hesitation. Thank you for a job well done.
5 star service. Standard Auto Wreckers value their customers, is the impression I got after they picked up my old RAV. I was a bit emotional watching my car drive off but was glad Standard was handling it. Communication was clear and the service was punctual. Thanks Gail and Blair. Standard is an asset to the community.
best play ground of toys for big boys... never disappoint, very nice crew, cool owner., nice place for finders keepers, lots of surprises, you look you’ll find. i like this place.. i think this is the only open yard, best place for spending good hobby time.. respect for you guys!! ????????????????????
Blair came to pick up our scrap car and he was very punctual and fun to have. We got delayed a bit in our process and was very helpful. Gave us good advice on whatever questions we had. Overall very good service.
I have been a customer of standard auto wreckers for years and have been a loyal customer and spent tens of thousands of dollars. But after the experience I have just gone through I will never buy from them again nor recommend any of my fellow repair shops to buy from them . Here is the story I purchased a used transmission from them and it was not operating correctly .After a few weeks they sent a customer relations person (Derek Albertini) I took him for a drive in the car he experienced the problem with the transmission but he has zero idea about transmission or cars . I called multiple times to bring it to there attention and after many calls i was told that they did not have a replacement and if I would like to try to fix it . I said sure what amount of financial assistance would be fair seeing as I had to remove it and disassemble and fix it . After many calls I was basically told they would offer nothing it was take it or leave it . I then asked who would be reimbursing me for the time I have spent on a faulty transmission . Once again I was told they would do nothing for me pay full price for a faulty piece . Every time they had Christine call me to refuse any type of assistance or take an responsibility for the faulty product. She is the nicest person at standard auto parts . If I was to run my business in such a way I would be out of business I am the only thing between my customer and a wrecker like standard auto wreckers I must have my customers best interest at heart . I would advise anyone to not purchase from the establishment they really don't care about there customers . Here are some really good auto wreckers that stand behind there products and take responsibility . Hilltop Auto wreckers, Cookstown Auto wreckers, Plazek Auto wreckers,
Today I called Standard Auto Wreckers (Scarborough location) to pick up my vehicle to scrap it for parts. They were on point with the scheduling. I was very pleased. The tow truck guy they sent to pick up my car was so friendly and very professional. I even received a call letting me know he was on his way and he arrived on time. I really didn't expect to have such a great experience with this type of service because most companies I have dealt with in the past have grumpy employees who don' t care about their job and don't take the time to make the customer feel appreciated. This is why I chose to write a review (I normally don't care to write one). Anyway, the lady I spoke to this morning was Gayle and she was so nice to me. I asked a bunch of questions and she was so patient with me. The tow truck guy's name was Louis. He was also very nice and I enjoyed chatting with him while he gathered the information he needed from me. My dad was there also and we left feeling in such a great mood. Louis didn't know it, but my dad and I had such a stressful morning but he made us feel relaxed and made us feel very appreciated as customers. He was a down to earth kind of guy, very professional and I felt comfortable with him. I'm so glad they sent him. Thank you Gayle and Louis!
Went here to get steering shafts, amazing yard, clean and organized, excellent guys to deal with ! Will be back again soon !
Great place to find used parts for cheap. They have a pull it yourself yard with lots of selection. Although it is more picked over then other wreckers north of the city. Great for Honda parts.
Called SAW looking for an engine, Marco was a great help, had an engine with half the kilometres sent over to my mechanic within a day. Highly recommended.
We called SAW for a pick up, and the service throughout was excellent. They were courteous and professional. Louis picked up the vehicle on time and was very helpful in the process. It was quick and painless. Thanks.
They didn't have what I needed, but still good people and easy to look around.
Great place for auto parts. All auto parts registered with Canadian Government online with photos. Standard auto wreckers in Port Perry excellent customer service.
I've been to standard auto yard before to pull parts, so when I needed to get a my old car removed I gave them a shout and they arrived in less then an hour. The driver Glenn was very friendly and professional. Would recommend these guys again.
I have a long time love for SAW since 1988 when I need a tail light and door handle for my dad's '78 Monte Carlo. For my current ride, the GM dealer quoted me $400 for the trunk actuator. One trip to Standard, $14 later and 2 bolts and I fixed it myself. Since then fixed both mirrors $30 each (well over $200/each at the dealership), odd and ends in the interior and have stocked up on wiper fluid pump, 2 radios, hub caps and small items like bulbs and fuses for a fraction of retail. Today on $60 all you can carry I scored 2 throttle bodies, an extra latch motor, and LH and RH lens assembly. All for $60. Great place to get OEM parts for a low price. Wear boots if you expect rain and remember these general salvage yard rules. 1) bring your own tools 2) Don't destroy parts you don't need 3) Don't leave parts scattered in the yard as it is dangerous 4) DO NOT BREAK glass just to be destructive 5) Respect the yard. It is not a free for all. UPIC is a privilege and not a right. I have learned how to fix my car by taking parts off at the UPIC yard. Thanks for keeping my 07 Saturn Ions going strong. Regards Bob Lum
I wasn't going to post a review but I seen a previous one from earlier this week. I had almost the same experience and thought it was important to make sure a manager was aware. A woman came out from a shed with a miserable look on her face after making me wait awhile at the gate. Very unprofessional. She spoke to me like I was stupid for not knowing that they were closed. When I asked for a telephone number so I could speak to someone else she told me the phones were not hooked up. I cannot believe that a company with such a high reputation would have someone so unfriendly at the gate as a first contact. Good luck on your opening. Do you have any idea when that will be?
Did an online request and Marco Sawph did the follow up and quoat. Great on line service and good chat. Friendly and attentive and not just a telephone talker but a real frienly person. Thanx Marco and Standard Auto used parts. Good stuff.
When getting rid of my car I used Standard as they offered the best price. Dealing with Gail and Blair was a pleasure and they provided fast and efficient service and their Customer Service was great.
Good source for parts Just go early On Saturday they say open til 3, but you can't go in the yard after 2:30 and at around 2:40 they kick you out
The best salvage yard in GTA. Fair price and good customer service. Keep it up
Dan and the gang are great! Very professional and helpful. Just left the yard with more then I came for. Thanks again!
I had an amazing experience with Standard Auto Wreckers. It was hard to see my car go but Gail was there the whole way helping me from pricing and arrange the car to be picked up. She was very fair and a pleasure to speak with. Louis came on time, gave me the amount we agreed and towed the car away. Amazing service and would always use in the future
Excellent choice for recycling. Prompt friendly service. They planted a tree for me. Eco friendly!!
Standard Auto Wreckers participates in charitycar.ca. You have many choices for where your donation can go. From the moment I contacted Standard to the time my vehicle was picked up, they were top notch. I was having difficulty with the …
I searched on their website for a part and was not able to locate it, so it asked to fill in an online form for the part I am looking for. I did the same on another large competitor website. I received a response 2 days later from the competitor, but no response from Standard. It has now been over 1 week.
It has been nearly a year and there are still no signs of reopening the u pull it yard at Standard Auto Wreckers. That would be fine, but with the lack of communication and feedback through any channels (facebook, their website, etc) I am honestly giving up. They have stated they would reopen "soon" for the better part of a year. I have gone and found a new better yard to visit when I need something, I probably won't be back. Standard Auto - Take note, you are receiving this bad review due to your lack of communication. I would be fine with the fact you haven't reopened yet if you just kept your loyal customers up to date in some way.
If you buy a part, and it does not arrive at the specified time for pick up, Call the returns desk for a refund. (it's one of the options when calling in). If you call your sales agent, he/she will fool you that your part is on the way and waste your time. I had 3 days wasted, everytime I called in I was told someone will call me back and everytime no one did. I even called in to make a complaint and was told the same thing, someone will call me back. I gave up and called the returns / refund department and enquired about the terms for a refund, the agent was helpful and told me to come in with my receipt to claim my refund, he even told me that the shipping manifest was not even created for my ordered part and that it was not coming in next day as the sales agent informed me 20 minutes prior.
Prices here for used parts are a bit expensive. Customer service is great. The staff here are a pleasure to deal with and very knowledgeable. Prices they pay for scrap vehicles are very good as well provided you drive your vehicle there. If you use their free towing service to have your vehicle picked up and towed there they will low ball you and pay you next to nothing. You will get top dollar if you drive your scrap vehicle there. In spite of these minor things I would recommend this place and I would go back.
I was helped my Gail and Greg when getting rid of my Nissan Versa. Gail answered the phone and was extremely nice and friendly. Greg came and picked up the Versa within the hour and was also extremely pleasant. I can’t think of any way the experience could have been better. Very nice folks and they offered me a great value for my car.
It was an emotional day to get rid of my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder as it was my daily adventure SUV, sadly the headgasket was gone and was too pricy to fix. Luckily i knew standard auto wreckers would be the place i felt comfortable giving up my car. When i first spoke to Gail on the phone she was nice, understanding and very professional. She made it easier for me to let go of my car and knowing for every car that is being donated, a tree will be planted behalf of the car donor. I am very pleased to have Blair come by to tow my suv, Super nice and chill guy yet keeping it in a professional matter. He too also made the transfer of the vehicle ownership really easy as this was my first time ever selling a car. I highly Recommend anyone who has a car that they need to get rid of, aslo to make some extra cash to come by and check out them, make sure you speak with Gail and get Blair to tow your vehicle away!
I got what I want and the employees were so nice. Looking forward to do more business with them.
Happy I chose Standard Auto Wreckers to recycle my van & I received fair and competitive value for it. Gail is very helpful and a delight to deal with. James the driver who picked up my van is charming and polite, even while working in over 30 degree heat!! Thank you for fabulous service & for caring about our community with the tree planting initiative.
Got some winter rims , very happy with them, great price! The UPIC and tire guys are awesome and doing an amazing job!
Mario Vasconcelos was very helpful and professional in helping me with my purchase, and was extremely polite and helped me to feel confident ordering from Standard Auto Wreckers. Great experience!
My old winter beater gave up the ghost and I needed it scrapped. Standards, notably Gail and Blair made it a breeze! Gail was very kind and courteous and explained that my car would be recycled. I was also very happy with the complimentary Tree Certificate and UPIC coin that I can use at the yard. Blair was very friendly and professional and arrived on time to haul the car off my driveway. Will definitely recommend Standards to my friends and will be making use of the UPIC coin!
We scrapped our vehicle about 3 weeks ago, the whole process was as simple as possible. From the initial phone call (the lady over the phone was very friendly and well-organized) to pick up our old vehicle was all within 5 hours. I was a bit nervous about the process as it was my first time scrapping. Louis came to our house, checked our vehicle, explained all our questions, he was very friendly and knowledgable, totally made us to understand the whole process one by one. I don't know about other services they provide, but for scrapping vehicles I won't hesitate to refer to my families and friends. Thanks Louis and staff!!!
Watch out, these guys will promise you the world but they will NOT deliver. I paid over $200 for a part to be here in 2 days, it's now 5 days later and their rinky dink shipping company can't tell me where it is -- and the staff at Standard Auto Wreckers don't care once they've made a "sale". I'm having to reverse the charges on my credit card, and source the part elsewhere. Don't say you weren't warned when they try to rip you off!
Just had Standard come and take our car away for scrap. Gail and the ladies in the office were efficient, fun, and easy to deal with. I found them to be extremely helpful given this was our first car scrapping experience. We received a fair price, a tree planted in our name, and 50$ towards the u-pick yard. I would definitely use them again!
The only U-pick yard that doesn't have an inventory log of cars at the yard. Its disappointing to keep coming and seeing the same cars from a month ago. Its not that hard to keep an inventory list. YEAR/MAKE/MODEL
I had called a few places shopping for the best price on my Wifes old car, they were the ONLY ones that stuck by the price quote, Gail and Blair were a pleasure to deal with
These guys get no stars. They sold me a Subaru turbo engine that they advertised as grade A and in good working condition with less that 120,000km on it. From the very beginning after installation the engine has been burning 1 liter of oil for every 1000km that I drive. There are no external oil leaks on the engine as noted by the Subaru dealership. Some guy named Chris at the company has offered to refund me for the engine, but he is negating responsibility for the $1400 in installation labour that his company is responsible for due to selling a defective engine falsely advertised as being grade A and in good working condition. It looks like this company doesn't care if they sell you garbage with fraudulent claims of good condition, nor do they seem to mind you losing large amounts of money due to their false claims. There are many other scrap yards run by people with integrity who can be trusted. Don't put your faith in this shady American company. They have no compunction. Carefully read every review by the others who have detailed their problems with this company. Some person claiming to be the owner responds with what in my opinion are disingenuous apologies such as "I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience" or "It's unfortunate.." but I believe them to be empty responses in an attempt to create a facade of responsibility that costs them nothing as they continue to rip-off customers, even after all of these bad reviews. I will be warning the thousands in the Subaru clubs and those that I go to rallies with about my personal experiences with the company, and warn them to NEVER go to any of this company's locations anywhere in the continent. Through my testimonial and the testimonials of other victims of this company we will save other good people from suffering the same fate. I suspect that the positive reviews were posted by management's friends and family. There are more reviews and warnings about this company on sites like Yelp and Yellow Pages. The delay in documents that the owner mentions below is because I had to book leak-down and compression tests at the dealer to prove definitively how bad the engine is. I'll post a scan of the results so that all readers can see the condition that this engine was sold to me in after being rated as tested and Grade A, The manager Chris has accused me of slandering the company during a phone conversation with him. However, slander is not truthful. My comments are personal testimonials for all to see, with evidence to back it up. Maybe if more time was spent ensuring that products that they sold had accurate assessments instead of false quality claims, they wouldn't have to spend time worrying about negative reviews. Causing any customer to lose $1400 on installation of a defective engine sold as Grade A is enough to fuel the anger of any person for a very long period of time. I'll continue to update this review as the situation unfolds.
The staff is always great. Lots to chose from in the yard
A refreshingly smooth experience - Gail & Blair are both professionals and clearly this company is customer-centric. Thanks for the quick and seamless experience in using your services to recycle my car and get a little $$ out of it at the same time.
I found Standard Auto wreckers online but the name seemed familiar from seeing there trucks on the road. I used the internet quoting service and received a prompt e-mail and call. They explained over the phone how the procedure would work and even offered other incentives. The tow showed up with great timing and the transaction with Blair was appreciated in service and his transaction skills and creating a trusting business transaction. Thank you Blair and Gail its a service i am proud went exactly as explained
Gail & Blair were fantastic...they were very prompt and made me feel better about having my old car towed away.
100% Stellar! My friend Dominic and myself Tony picked up some parts for his and his wife's Range Rover, not only where the staff helpful and courteous but the OWNER himself was just STELLAR. YOU can't get better then that! Wonderful people old school courtesy, HELL we were even greeted by the owner at the gate! If anyone questions if they should go there I would say if you don't you are either insane or you want to spend more money for nothing! Selection was crazy. I would say "if they don't have it you don't need it"! Special thanks to David Gold! Love you guys and we WILL BE BACK!
My buddies and I are very happy that your finally open. We’ve waited so long. We were extremely happy with your new staff at the cash. She was very friendly. Keep up the good work and we’re Hoping you’ll get an inventory list posted soon. Any idea how long that will take.
Had the pleasure of doing business with Gail and Blair twice now. The first car we had recycled through them was a 2013 Nissan sentra who's transmission had died. Gail offered us a very fair deal, even more than some of the lowball offers I got on kijiji, with infinitely less of a hassle. And they even planted a tree on our behalf as part of the deal! We had shopped around and standard auto wreckers offered the best deal by far. Blair, came to pick up vehicle right as scheduled, and was a friendly and professional through and through! We were wrapped up and paid within minutes, with no delays (: The 2nd vehicle we had that we also used their service to recycle, we didn't even have to shop around. Just called them directly and set up the meet up. I truly can't imagine using another service when these guys do everything better.
I've had the pleasure of doing business with the polite, professional staff at Standard Auto twice in the past month or so and both times i've been pleasantly surprised with the fair trade in value they've offered on both vehicles I was looking to move. One was a scrap car and the other was a new vehicle with engine issues that holds a lot of potential for good quality takeoff parts. Both times I was promptly and politely offered a price I was happy to accept. Today I dealt with Gale and she was wonderful.
Very good service on the pick up of my car for recycling service today. The diver that came to pick it up gail was very good on his job today he was right on time, very freindly and also excellent on taking the car away. I like to say thanky again for your job today and for sure would use your services again
Top notch! I needed a part for my car...several people at this outfit tried genuinely to help...than came along Jude Smiley! Wow! She went above and beyond, first researching to find me an alternate part number that would match my number and than went out of her way in finding me that part at another vendor since Standard Auto was out of stock! Its humans like her that make this world survive. And she was so congenial about it too!Thank you Jude. Best, Arif Jan Pickering, Ontario
Marco was outstanding. He was very helpful. I felt comfortable knowing that he was being honest with me, while other places I called seemed to be pulling the wool over my eyes. He was very helpful with my situation and I would highly recommend Standard Auto.
I had a great experience with Standard Auto Wreckers. From Nicole and Gail in the office to Blair who came to pick up my vehicle - they were kind, professional, fair and helpful. Would recommend to anyone!
very rude lady here. For a place that isn't open and waiting to open and to have a ignorant old lady at the gate treating customers as well as speaking to her coworkers the way she did is unacceptable. The way she came out of her blue shed yelling was really uncalled for. I seriously hope this isn't a regular occurrence. I do wish the company in a whole the best and hope you will reopen again. Best wishes for you on reopening.
It's a little hard getting through, but once you do the service is outstanding; Jeff and Matt were very helpful and patient. Opting to call Standard Auto Wreckers also saved me $250. Thank you.
Marco helped me out a lot today, helped me find a drive shaft and a transfer case. Great service, great place.
From thethe time I called the ladylady was very helpful to when they arrived, Blair was punctual and provided assistance to remove old plates. He was veryvery nice and made the transaction seamless. Would recommend.
I needed a hard-to-find main fuse for a Hyundai Tucson. Staff remembered that I had called and let me know where to find the vehicle and when I brought the fuse to the counter, they gave it to me for FREE! It was a brutally hot day and they were also watching out for customers to make sure everyone was OK.
Gayle was "Awesome"! She eliminated any stress I was feeling. My issue was cleared same day service!!
I contacted Standard Auto Wreckers and had the pleasure to get serviced by Gail who made the process very easy for me and more importantly conveyed the trust I needed to ensure I was dealing with the right company to do this with. She walked me thru all the detials and the price I got for the car was very fair and the service was perfect. The pick up was exactly as planned and Blair who came to pick up the car was pleasant and helpful as well. I would not go anywhere else and will recommend them to anyone wanting to deal with someone which will make this easy and reliable. Thank you Gail and Blair and will be using my coins to visit the yard as well!
Gail was very professional and efficient when it came to arranging an appointment to get my vehicle picked up from my house. Blair and Remo performed excellent service, had very professional communication skills, provided the safest possible service during a pandemic and followed good social distancing. Provided myself with excellent customer service. will definitely be using them for any future needs.
We received excellent service from Standard Auto Wreckers. They are friendly, efficient, and they pay fair prices. Blair, who came to pick up our old car, was very polite, fast and helpful. I would recommend their services to anyone, without any hesitation.
Awesome company!!! We choose Standard Auto Wreckers to dispose of our vehicle because of the great work they do. Gail was very courteous over the phone and explained the process in great detail. Greg who picked up the car was professional and was very knowledgeable. It is good know the company will be responsibly disposing the vehicle and also a tree will be planted is a great incentiative. SAW is a landmark in community and their partnership with local conservation efforts demonstrate their commitment to the environment.
The gentleman who towed/ picked up my vehicle was super kind and friendly. He helped with all questions I had and made the experience super easy!
I really appreciate Gail and Blair helping me to process and complete scrapping my car within a few hours today. They are great and efficient. Thank you!
Slow service, but good prices for used parts.
Blair was very friendly and professional. He reminded me to check the trunk which turned out to be good because we had left some things there. We called and they came the same day. Would recommend Blair and Standard Auto Wreckers. Love the tree planting and certificate.
Thank you to Marco at SAW for his help with sorting out a part quickly and at a great price! According to our mechanic the quality was excellent. Much appreciated :)
Participated in the OARA Retire Your Ride program and Standard Auto Wreckers submitted the high bid. My experience in dealing with them was very professional and very efficient. I found both Gail and Blair to be easy to deal with and would recommend and/or do business with them again.
Staffs know what they are doing. Pleasant to deal with. May not get the best price but no need to worry about your old car may end up in wrong hand. This is my second time dealing with this place.
We had a 13 year old van to get rid of. Filled out their on-line form and they called us within 1/2 hour. We were offered a fair price and a pick-up was arranged for the next morning. Their driver (Blair) arrived right on time. He was very courteous and helpful, paid us what was quoted and towed the vehicle away. We even got $100 of UPIC coins for future purchases. A painless experience.
Standard Auto Wreckers did a wonderful job in towing my Mother's non-working car away. The driver Henry removed the plates for me and carefully got the car out of the very low underground garage without incident. Paperwork was minimal and they showed up at the arranged time. A very smooth operation all around. Thank you, Kelly Mills
Super amazing customer service and so easy to use! Gail was the absolute sweetest on the phone and so was Blair when he came to pick up my vehicle! I would highly recommend using this service as they made the whole process fast & painless. Also the planted tree in my name was a very cool touch
This week my wife contacted Standard Auto Wreckers regarding our vehicle to be picked up as it was no longer safe to drive. My wife spoke to Gail. Gail was most professional and understanding of our situation. My wife was very attached to our beloved vehicle and saddened to part with it. Gail was very sympathetic and helped guide my wife through the process. Our vehicle was not just a piece of scrap to us. Standard Auto offered free pick up in light of the current virus, which was most considerate and helpful. Gail was most personable, offering good health wishes and safety. Blair, the tow truck driver arrived at the given time. Blair was also most professional and personable. I cannot thank such beautiful people enough for their kindness and professionalism at such a difficult time for us in parting with our beloved vehicle. Gail and Blair are wonderful employees - they are a great reflection of Standard Auto Wreckers. We recommend this company highly. Thank you.
Amazing service, starting with Gail who setup the tow. They were able to tow same day! Jon the tow truck driver was very thorough and helpful. I would recommend them to everyone! I did shop around and Standard Auto Wreckers had the best offer and customer service.
Duke was awesome when he showed up to tow our vehicle. Very professional and attention to details. Excellent Customer Service.
Bring ur safety or dirt boots to check this place out = )
Gale and Blair were awesome to deal with! Gale was great at providing an update, instructions and pleasant to speak with. Blair was professional and speedy; we were able to complete the transaction in under 10 minutes and Blair was knowledgeable and quick. Would highly recommend!
BE AWARE WHEN YOU PAY FOR YOUR PARTS EXTRACTED FROM THE YARD!!! I recently got two little pieces of parts and was going to pay for them. The "cashier" told me, without doing anything and without checking the prices, that they were $39. It was absolutely a nonsense to me and I asked him how much of each piece. He then did something in his computer and told me that they were $7 instead. I was okay with this amount even though I was totally surprised of the huge difference. When I paid by my credit card, he was then surprised and was thinking that I was paying cash. I later found out that the machine only stated for $5 with the same amount on the receipt. I could not tell how but it was very likely that the "cashier" would pocket the $2 difference if I had to pay $7 cash in the first place. My suggestion is to (1) first know about the 2nd hand price of the parts that you are buying and to (2) use credit card whenever it is possible (at least some sort of protection). Alternatively, you can go to another scrap yard to get your parts. This is not a trustworthy one as far as my experience can tell ...
We chose to dispose of our 18-yr old beater with SAW, and it was a pleasant simple, straightforward experience from the initial phone contact with Gail thru the pickup with Blair who was pleasant and helpful. The potential headache was resolved without fuss or wrangle--quite different from dealing with interested private buyers.
I phoned in one day to scrap an Acura TL and a very lovely lady by the name of Gail picked up the phone and was professional, friendly, courteous, and helpful throughout the entire phone call. She answered any and all questions/inquiries I had about the process. Explained in clearly and concisely the process and what would happen on the day of the pick up while also giving me a more than reasonable price. She also let me know of a great program where they plant a tree for every car they pick up to scrap. On the day of the pick up, a gentleman by the name of Blair introduced himself and hooked up my my car to his tow truck. Also very professional, friendly, and made me feel very comfortable with my decision. I handed over my ownership, he gave me the receipt and cash for my vehicle. Afterwards he gave me a certificate for the tree that will be planted in exchange for my vehicle. He asked if he could take a picture of myself holding the certificate in front of my vehicle for their Facebook page and after Blair and Gail's amazing service there was no way I could decline! I would highly recommend the Sewells Road location in Toronto and my family have also used their service several years ago to scrap an old Dodge Caravan. A huge thanks again to Gail and Blair for their wonderful service!
Went to replace the front wiper motors of my 2014 Ford Escape. Saved a fortune compared to what was quoted to me by the dealership. Great place for budget DIY and finding "hidden treasures"
I had a very positive experience with Standard Auto Wreckers, - Blair did a great job while picking up my old car. He was very punctual: he called upfront and came in time. All work was completed quickly and in a very professional manner. I would highly recommend Blair and Standard Auto Wreckers.
Great service! Fast efficient and overall above what was needed called in for engine for my Ridgeline. Got the sales rep Marco. He was able to find me an engine for at minimum 600$ less then competition even took the time to cross reference to find alternatives for my application(something the other company’s wouldn’t do) gave me multiple options. Once I decided on which one I wanted I sent an EMT and within an hour he had it ready on a fork lift for me to pick. Much appreciated all at standard especially Marco Great job and will be my go to spot from now on!! Would recommend to any and all!
We just had our 97 Jimmy picked up by Blair. From the moment we called to when Blair came to pick up our truck our experience was excellent!! Blair was friendly, efficient and professional. The deal that we made on the phone was upheld. Another company we used in the past changed the deal at the last second when they got here. Standard Auto Wreckers definitely have my trust! I will be reccomending them to my family and friends and use them again myself.
I am trying to give it less than 1 Star but you can't! This is the worst auto wreckers in Ontario! They are over priced especially for a used part and they charge you a core fee for everything. It is better if you just go to Cookstown Auto Wreckers you get more for the money. Standard is a complete rip off ran by hillbillies! Could be part sitting outside for 20 years and they will still charge you top dollar and core fees etc.... I know that some people hang out there for living but trust me when I tell you that you can get the same parts at another wreckers for dirt cheap without core charges and hidden fees...
5 star service. Home from the UK and had to say a final goodbye to my Hyundai Sante Fe. After calling several different auto wreckers (none would take my car), I was referred by Chris & Shane's Cars Ltd. to call Standard Auto Wreckers. Just over an hour of my call, my baby was gone (a bit emotional, but she did a great job for the 13 years I had her). A big thank you to Glenn who not only towed my car, but also got my license plates off and started the vehicle after it sat for a year! Excellent service, would highly recommend them! :)
Dealing with Marco was a good experience. Was looking for rims for my Honda Civic and he provided me with what I was looking for. Heard alot of good things about the company and this was my first time dealing with them. Was completely satisfied. Marco was very professional. Will have no hesitation dealing with them and Marco again..
Blair was very friendly and move went without a hitch. These guys know what they are doing
Quality 5 star service. Blair was professional and towed my truck smoothly and quickly. If you need quality towing services, make sure to hit this Company up.
Love this place. Been here a few times in the past with a buddy and we alway found the parts we needed without too much hassle. Sometimes we buy the parts we need but sometimes we like roaming the grounds and see good stuff we didn't even think off. The guys here are helpful and easy going so if you have the tools and some time, good place to go hunting. If you go, wear boots or hikers. I always forgot that.
It was sad to see the old car go, but Gail made it easy with responding quickly by giving me a quote, not pressuring me at all, offereing me a reasonable amount for the car, Ragu gave me exactly what Gail quoted, Ragu took off the licence plates, and he arrived right on time. I'm glad I called them when I wanted to sell the old car.
Blair arrived to tow a vehicle for wreckage when he said he would, performed courteously and efficiently and met all our expectations.
Retired my old ride and received a fair quote. Speaking with Gale to coordinate the pickup provided clear information and instructions on the process. On pickup day Blair was prompt, professional, and excellent to work with. Entire process was clearly explained and service was excellent.
Had to let go of my dads car that was sitting in the lot for 2 years. Blair was the man. He got that car running and even drove it out of the spot. It was really nice to see the car move one last time. Blair was relaxed, professional, and kind. Thank you for helping me
Had a used car that needed to be scrapped for sale. Spoke with Gail on the phone who was super pleasant. She arranged for Blair to come by and pick up the car. Blair came by and was super friendly, fast and efficient, he was a pleasure to deal with. I got a great deal for the car with free towing and they plant a tree on your behalf!!! Couldn't ask for a smoother experience.
