I drove about 1 hour to pick up a part that I was told over the phone that it was "insurance quality." Surprisingly it was not insurance quality and damaged with trim broken and deep scratches. Not even five minutes after purchasing without being able to look at the part thoroughly and part still on the car I was told that I could not get my money back. The representative was of no help and couldn't care less about the situation saying ! could not get cash back and it would be at least 25% restocking fee, eventhough the part is still on the car. After having to wait about 30 minutes for the part the mechanic who took it off the car damaged it even more. It's unfortunate that such a business deals with customers in such a disrespectful manner.

I recently searched online for a replacement part for my Mercedes-Benz. After calling multiple places in San Diego without success, I learned that the rear door window is referred to as a “vent,” not a “quarter window.” JR was the only one who took the time to understand exactly which part I needed. He patiently clarified that I had been searching for the wrong part all along. I called in the morning and arrived in the afternoon; he greeted me warmly (remembering my name) and sold me the correct part. Don’t hesitate to ask detailed questions about the parts you’re seeking; unfortunately, many salespeople in this industry don’t seem to care. Thanks, JR—you made my day

You know, having to buy parts for your car, body or otherwise can often be a pretty stressful experience; making sure its the right part, communicating with the company or people you're buying from, hoping the prices are fair, etcetera, etcetera! Well I can honestly say that from the very first interaction with Montoya's, Junior answered the phone, answered my questions, was knowledgeable, gave fair pricing and even went so far as to furnish a quote while on the phone! When I arrived to get the parts, everyone was super helpful and I HIGHLY recommend them if you need parts at a reasonable price! Junior is the man!

I can’t recommend Montoya's Auto Wrecking enough! If you're looking for high-quality used parts at unbeatable prices, this is the place to go. The entire team, including the owner, is not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable about all kinds of vehicles, especially European models. They helped me find exactly what I needed and even offered helpful suggestions based on my specific car issues. What really impressed me was their dedication to customer service. They go above and beyond to make sure you're getting the right part for your vehicle, and they don't just try to sell you something to make a quick buck. The team takes the time to understand your needs and offers honest recommendations, which is hard to come by these days. Their prices are the best in town, and the quality of the parts I’ve gotten from them has always been top-notch. Whether you’re in need of a hard-to-find part or just looking to save some money, Montoya's is the place to go. I trust them completely and will definitely keep coming back. If you’re in need of car parts, I highly suggest giving Montoya’s a try—you won’t be disappointed!

We were treated well from our first visit when we checked to see if there was a replacement engine for our 2015 Honda. We purchased the engine dropped off our vehicle on Tuesday afternoon and picked it up on Thursday. Less than 2 days to complete the repair. I would highly recommend Montoya’s Auto Wrecking & Auto Repair. We’re on the road again!

I was excited to have found this place as it seemed they would have parts I would need for my vehicle. I arrived and spoke to the manager on duty about a wheel I needed for my vehicle. I ask him what the procedure is and he tells me the wheel costs $100 + a $25 core charge and that it comes with the tire included. I was happy with that. I then ask him if I can pay for a warranty like many other salvage yards offer in this area. He says that they do not offer warranty on used parts as it is a liability so I then ask him if they offer warranty on any parts in the establishment as it is all used. He says that they do offer warranty on other used parts just not wheels. I then ask him if I can take a look at the wheel to make sure it is in good condition and it has no cracks. He tells me that I have to pay for the wheel beforehand and that all sales are final. I will not be spending my hard earned money without a warranty that I would have paid extra for or at least the option to take a look at the item and make sure it is in good condition before paying. I am not sure what type of business is being run here but that is not the proper way to treat a customer or run an honest business that is not trying to take advantage of people. Good luck. Side note: I asked the same manager about the possibility of buying a better tire as the one on the wheel was very bad. He said he could do that for $25-40. I then asked if he could instead just remove the tire for me since I have one I could use. He said he could not. Great customer service here.

purchased a transmission from this company with a 90-day warranty. When it arrived, the oil pan was broken. So i decided to use my old oil pan. After installing the transmission, it turned out to be defective. We removed transmission and returned it using my original oil pan. Despite this, they refused to refund my money and claimed the warranty was void because the oil pan had been opened. This excuse makes no sense—opening the oil pan is necessary to add transmission fluid and complete installation. I do not recommend buying a transmission from this company. They look for excuses to avoid honoring their warranty and issuing refunds.

I went out of my way to handle problems that should have never existed in the first place. The transmission I received had pre-existing damage, including a broken shift linkage and a broken mounting bracket, which later caused internal damage and made the unit unusable. Instead of immediately demanding a replacement, I spent my own money, my own time, and my own labor trying to fix their mistakes to keep things moving. Fluids, labor, teardown, inspection — all out of my pocket. I did this in good faith, trying to help both sides. And this is how I was treated. They refused responsibility, tried to shift blame elsewhere despite clear evidence the transmission was already damaged, and completely ignored the effort and cost I absorbed to clean up their mess. I’ve also been trying to reach the manager for weeks, with no response. This situation cost me real money, real time, and left my customer waiting — all because I trusted a seller who wouldn’t stand behind their product. Spending your own money to fix their screw-ups just gets used against you here. Completely unacceptable. Buyer beware.
