I purchased an engine that they were advertising on marketplace for $7,000 delivered. This was on June 18 2024. Today is August 8 and I have not received the engine and they have stopped taking my calls. Update: August 18th. I did finally receive the engine I ordered. It was in good shape and is running good. I will not be purchasing anything else from this company and I would suggest you proceed with caution.

Messaged American Auto Wrecking on May 18 on facebook marketplace they got back to me on Monday May 19 with a text message with a link to their flat beds for their trucks that are up for sale with a phone number. Called them back let them know which one I wanted drove up there looked at it payed for it they said it would be removed from the truck in the next day or two. They texted me on Wednesday May 21 that it was removed & I could come after 10AM. Drove up there & they loaded it up on my trailer. I highly will recommend American Auto Wrecking for any parts. I give them a 5 ⭐️. & the people working up there were so very friendly helpful & courteous. Thank you so very much with helping me with the flat bed. If I need anything else I will be getting in touch with you.

We are a body shop in Northern Michigan and made the mistake of trusting this company, if it can be called that. In total we paid $1800 for what was supposed to be used, but rust free and undamaged, truck doors. What we actually got was laughable. Heavy rust on all the doors made them unusable, and the fact that one door appeared to have been set on fire at some point was just the icing on the cake. We have tried unsuccessfully for MONTHS to get this resolved. Simply trying to get someone from American Auto Wrecking on the phone was like pulling teeth. Constant run around and playing phone tag. Finally they claimed they were going to send us new doors to make it right....it's been 4 months and we've yet to see these "new" doors. Please do yourself a favor before spending a dime with these people and just look at their Better Business Bureau rating (it's appalling) and all of the complaints on the BBB's page alone. American Auto Wrecking LLC has a history of doing this, don't waste your time or money.

Had a great experience with this company!! Easy payment, great communication. Never had any concern about the product. Drive up to get the doors and was in and out quickly. Guy at the yard was a great help as well. Purchased 2 doors for my 2003, F250. Great doors, no rust! If anyone needs parts for their super duty trucks this is the place to buy it!

Actual buyer here, summer of 2024. Ray is an absolute expert on these trucks. His parts are used and we live in the rust belt so is what it is. He does his best to be honest and fair on the condition and prices are great! I bought a front axle and it was exactly as he explained, loaded it for me, and I was on the way. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Not sure where some of these reviews are coming from cause Ray and his Team were absolutely wonderful. I called and asked him a few questions since then and he always gets back to me with the RIGHT answer. I will be back!!

Ordered and paid for a 7.3 powerstroke motor on 05/23/25. As of todays date 07/28/25 I have not received any update and my phone calls and messages have been ignored. I was told my motor was getting shipped out, but I was then told by someone else its now 4th in line. I know my calls are being screened, due to the fact of calling with a different area code gets an answer, but then put on hold or hung up on when they discover who is calling. I am now out $3k and still don't have my motor. I do not recommend anyone do business with this company. Trust the bad reviews. Im hoping this one will spark a response from the business itself. I will be pursing legal action in an attempt to either get my money back, or get the motor Ive already paid for.

I bought a ford 7.3 power stroke engine wired $2950 it never shipped. Now they block calls Do not do business with this company. I called the Lorain police dept.they said they get calls on them all the time but they can’t do anything. Don’t know why it sounds like THEFT to me.worst experience ever with an online parts provider. 00000 stars. Still blocking calls. I wonder how much they pay for these positive reviews they get one star or five.??Believe these negative reviews they get. For every negative they get they must pay someone to post positive ones. Because thieves like Joe Burda cannot have that many friends!! Contacted BBB they said they had been contacted many times on this business but there nothing they can do legally just give bad reviews.Joe Burda has got this SCAM figured out he even advertised on FB MARKETPLACE that he is somewhere in Dallas TX. Still trying to STEAL from people that work for they’re money.

Bought from Joe a few times and communication was easy & had the part I was looking for. Didn’t have what I needed this time but took the time to check other trucks in the yard. Thanks

American Auto Wrecking is absolutely terrible to deal with. They’ll gladly take your money, but once you try to get answers about your shipment, they completely ghost you. No calls returned, no emails answered—just silence. On top of that, the whole process feels like a scam. They steal from you with false promises and then disappear when you need support. Save yourself the headache and take your business somewhere else—there are plenty of honest companies out there that actually stand behind what they sell.

I have been doing business with them for years. They provide excellent customer service and I have never had issues with the parts I purchase from them. I highly recommend them. Nicole is awesome!

BUYER BEWARE!! I hope this post will prevent another buyer from being taken by these THIEVES. If I could give negative stars, I would. My father ordered a motor for his work truck. They wouldn’t ship the order until payment was received in full. Was very responsive until they received his money. Once money was received they’ve screened his calls and completely ignored him. He had to borrow money to get a replacement engine for his work truck and now he is out his money and his work truck. This is a SCAM! They request payment via Zelle or Venmo so you have no grounds to argue payment and you will never receive the parts you’ve ordered. They are thieves, taking advantage of honest hardworking people and deserve to be investigated by local authorities. based on the various reviews I’ve read other people have had the same experience as my father. BUYER BEWARE!!

Great experience at American Auto Wrecking! Everything was as expected, and clearly communicated. The parts matched the posted description. Friendly, helpful staff was ready when I arrived for the appointment, and he helped load it, in the cold rain! Setting the pickup time was super-simple. Good communication throughout the sale. I highly recommend doing business with them and will definitely be back. Great resource for Super Duty owners. Quality parts, plenty of inventory, and very good prices. No clue what those mediocre ratings are. Everything about my experience, and this location, was top-notch. Highly recommend and will be back!
