Reviews of Gulf Coast Scrap Metal (Scrap Yards)

Saif Lokhandwala

All of Gulf Coast Scrap Metals’ staff is very nice, honest, and friendly. I would highly recommend giving them a call, or dropping by if you have any scrap metal!!

Kile Spelz

Went just like the reviews said, super easy, excellent service and we got more than we expected. Plus, he has a sign posted that says, "God bless America!"

Anita Ewing

Went to Gulf Coast on my lunch hour! They were FAST and it was even pouring down rain. They unloaded my husband's truck and we were in and out of there in minutes. Melena behind the counter was AWESOME!!! Great customer service - was paid on the spot. They are amazing and would recommend them to anyone who loves to scrap!

this place sucks always cheating people on the weight of scrap you take ,for example if you have a little pile of scrap metal instead of putting it on the scale they bring out the big metal bins, throw your scrap in the bin and then weight it their for not knowing what was the weight of your scrap and i guaranty you that the receipt does not give you the right weight of scrap you supposedly took

I've been going to Gulf Coast Salvage for a few years. Most of the time I only have a little scrap trying to get gas money. They've always treated me nice no matter how little or much I brought. I've tried other salvage places around Houston, but none can compare to Gulf Coast. You can't replace customer service with a 2 dollar bill.

David Ingro

Great people really really good price

Brandon Higgins

Scale must be way off they're screwing people out of there money I won't ever come back

Robin Blinn

The cashier not very friendly, wanted to question the fact that the ticket didn't show the tare/net, and I really feel that what I brought weighed a lot more than the ticket said, too late now, I'll go elsewhere next time.

Michael Myers

I have nothing but great experiences with Gulf Coast Scrap Metal. From the owner, office staff, and drivers, everyone was very professional and personable. These guys were able to do what others couldn't by thinking outside the box and offering real solutions. I've used a handful of their competitors in past, even the $2 bill guy, but will guaranty any future business will stay with these amazing folks. I recommend to everyone!

Today is 9 of April of 2020 I’m warning you guys the girl in front desk is sick she was coughing sniffing and had runny nose you better stay away from this place I rather take my metal to other place

sergio cosme

This is the only place I will sell my scrap metal. Prices and service is excellent.

Michael Gundersen

Gulf Coast is the only place I go for my scrap. They allways pay higher per pound wheather its copper, aluminum you name it. Gulf coast is allways better on your wallet. Even though I live far away and there are many other scrap metal shops right around the corner, I allways make the drive to Gulf Coast---anything else is just a waste.

Melissa Troncoso

Friendly staff and very helpful. Process to sell my scrap metal was quick and easy. Definitely recommend Gulf Coast Scrap Metal!

Fernando H

I brought scrap metal from my garage here on a Saturday to be properly processed. The place is industrial and busy. They came to my vehicle and unloaded my ~30 LBS of scrap. Keep texas beautiful and reduce your wastestream, Houston! Peace!

Kevin Pate

Extremely professional. I will definitely go back and recommend Gulf Coast Scrap to anyone.

Jenifer Lynn (Juniper Lane)

Truly great service and best prices in town. I called several other places but found that Danny was both the highest paying and the nicest to deal with. I highly recommend. He even gave us a hat. Thank you Gulf Coast scrap metal... we will be back!

Casey Colando

Wonderful place, fantastic people! They gave us a great price on our scrap batteries, as well as water bottles, snacks, and t-shirts. Looking forward to visiting them again! Highly recommended.

Leah Martin

They took advantage of me! I am a woman and I went by myself and they took that opportunity to rip me off by MORE THAN $150!! Do not let the numerous positive reviews fool you - they are deceitful with a clever scam. I was quoted a surprisingly high price for my copper to get me in the door: $2.46 compared to the salvage-market price of $2.38 for #1 copper. It took me several weeks to meticulously sort, cut, clean and WEIGH my scrap copper. I had 180lbs of #1 and 50lbs of #2 and I took photos of each bin on the scale. I was reminded more than once that they would "honor" the price I was quoted. They oversold their moral image which made me feel both suspicious and guilty for the deal I was getting. Gulf Coast weighed it in at 120lbs for #1 (66% of the actual weight) and 35lbs for #2 (70%). I was surprised to receive a check for just $375 on a MINIMUM $525 load but by then it was too late. I understand that they are in the business to make money but under-weighing my scrap to accommodate an inflated selling price is more deceitful than the bait and switch (bait and steal!) that got me in there. It's infuriating that their con has so many people fooled.

jeremiah nestor

Houston Evangelism

Called first to confirm price and weighed my copper beforehand. They stripped my copper for me and scales are correct. Great experience and I am forever a customer.

Juan Gonzalez

They always try to cheat you. Never give you the right weight

Easy, straight forward experience. I pulled in, they helped me unload, got me weighed in, and paid out. All in all took about 10 minutes. The helpers were nice, and professional. Thanks GCSM. See you next time.

Amanda Schwenke

Love the people at Gulf Coast, always so accommodating and the service is outstanding. We have been going there for years and don't plan to ever go anywhere else. Gulf Coast definitely has the best prices in town, you wont find anyone better.

These guys are awesome.! They gave me up-to-date rates and we're very helpful with gauging the quality of my material. They also went out of their way to get me loaded and unloaded quickly. I have used many scrap yards in my area, but this place is by far the best I've seen and dealt with.! Bring your scrap metal here .!!!!

Arrived with a truck full of scrap metal but I was turned away saying "they did not have room for it"

Jess Navarro

I come here just about once every 1-2 months for the last year and a half. They're great people plus always pay out the most on my aluminum!

Johnny Gomez

I looked online for reviews on Recycling Businesses and found excellent reviews on Gulf Coast Scrap Metal. I followed up with a phone call and received the information needed. Melissa and Danny were very helpful and friendly. They made me feel appreciated and important to their business. Thank You! I would NOT go anywhere else. Totally Awesome! Melissa was great and the attitude was positive and upbeat. Again Thank You

Alec Herrera

30$ for 200$ worth of aluminum due too one bolt per piece it gets considered breakage for 10cents. will rip you off due too one metal bolt for 5 ft of aluminum. not worth the parking.

Q Fitzpatrick

There service is second to none , i have been going there for years and I have never had a bad experience . great location and fair prices, definitely a thumbs up from me *****

Con R

Be careful! They dont clean under the platform of their scale so the weight was not correct. Thankfully I weighed my scrap before going - I recommend you do the same. Only after I complained did they clean under the platform and reweigh. Claimed it had been a "busy weekend" (I was there at 10am on a Monday and it was not busy at all when I was there - Plenty of time to clean IMO). I wont be back.

Nicholas Almanza

I go here on a regular basis it's a great friendly place n really fair on prices over the local yards from 249 to I10 I have to say this one was the best comparison to all of them with a great all around experience

Roland Dunkerley

I have been using this company for years and have been very satisfied with their service, speed and payment. They no longer buy aluminum cans. :>(

Randy Jenkins

Great service, quick process and fair price! They stripped the wire for free and unloaded the truck.

Jennlenn

Everyone is friendly and helpful. I was in and out quick with money in hand. I would recommend this place to friends.

Karlis Atencio

Seriously the best prices in town and very helpful staff!

Josh8 Cat

They’re very friendly to gypsy people

Santiago Galvan

Best place in Houston area to take your scrap, best paying top dollar. I will definitely be coming back here

George Williams

I went there being a skeptic, cause being messed over so many times by other places i judge them the same. You will not find better prices no where, and you will not get cheated on the scale. I met the owner who name is Joe and told me he been in business for 30 years, i didn't want to hear that cause i was being a butt hole, and even then Joe treated me with respect like a true professional do. Well before i left I gained a good friend and a honest business man, and i will not do business elsewhere. Please dont take my word for it go up there and see for yourself. Gulf Coast Metal get 10 stars from me.

alonso tristan

Gulf coast scrap metal is by far the best place I've taken my metal to friendly staff friendly environment quick easy in-and-out process thank you Gulf coast scrap metal

Bryan Crutcher

Great experience! Highest dollar for your wire! Speak to Dan! Nicest people in town!

Lane Harrison

Dan and the others at Gulf Coast Scrap Metal provided excellent, friendly service to me when I was there yesterday. I had a large amount of lead to sell off as scrap. They're prices beat most others, and yet they still unload for you and provide great service. I highly recommend them.

Steffie Giles Sloan

Great group to work with. They were quick to help and processed our drop off as quickly as possible. Fair prices given for scrap. We travel and use scrap yards across the country and this was, by far, one of our best experiences. This is our top pick when in the Houston area.

Bill Underhill

they always give me top dollar, they never try to cheat me like the other places around town. and like the fast in and out service. 5 * * * * * STARS bill underhill

Ronnie Fleminster

I ALWAYS TAKE MY BUSINESS TO GULF COAST SCRAP METAL, THE STAFF IS VERY PROFESSIONAL NICE, PLUS THEY PAY MORE!!!

Sean Dennen

In scrap business this is the classiest and most honest scrap yard I've ever done business with! Fast and friendly service, with a honest price.

ruben castaneda

I called and explained to Melisa the type of metal and load . She told me to give her name and will take load . Went by another person looked and told me to park on the back and wait to get unloaded. Waited for 45 min and all of a sudden a worker that just finished his lunch shift was told to get me unloaded said he would not get load. In very bad manner said noo!!!! I explained to him and he said that the people in charge didn’t no what they were doing ... Bad service

Joshua Cedillo

They tried to RIP me off and cheat me out of my aluminum clean wheels. On the phone they quoted me 55cent/pound and wen I got their they try to give me 25cents/pound .last time going here I learned my lesson.cant trust anybody!!!

Enrique Garcia

Nice service and good prices

Jacira Silva

My famíly owns a machine shop and we have dealt with scrap metal companies for years. We decided to call Gulf Coast Scrap Metal and give them a try. We have been with them over a year now.They give us prompt service. We have been Very happy with Them.

donnie straps

I went to this place for the first time and have to say Im very pleased. They gave me the best price for my metal and even sorted through it and seperated some of the metal that brought a higher price for me. I had taken the same mixture of metals to other scrap yards and they never bothered to try and seperate. They had a lot of people working to help unload and weigh metals, even on Saturday. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Next time I need a scrap yard, Gulf Coast will be my first choice and I have already recommended them to a couple of people. There weights were right where I weigjed them before I took them in, and no I didnt tell them I jad weighed any of the metal. This place is top notch in my book.

Jason fain

I have used several scrap metal companies in my line of work. i have found that Gulf Coast has the best pricing and best service. I have not had a bad experience at this location.
