Yota yard

I stumbled up on Yotayard.com.. Are they part of this forum? Why i ask is ! They have some parts i need and i really want them . I just wanted to kinda be sure they are honest people.. I know so far they have been quick on the emails. Has anyone here done business with them?

No its not part of yotatech. I have heard alright things about the place but i have also heard that the Owner's wife took over the shop after a divorce and its kinda gone down hill. Im not sure if its all true but Im pretty sure it is

I have spent a couple hundred bucks with them, and they're ok in my experience.

I've had good luck with them, but I've always been able to go to the yard, and pick the parts myself. I have no idea how working with them on-line would be.

I have had numerous dealings with them. Some of them were excellent, i got a great part, and got it cheap. Other times i've had to dance in circles just to find what i wanted that wasn't complete junk, and then asked to pay way too much. I would say that the good certainly outweigh the bad. Never tried online.

HMM, I'm trying to deal with them on some seats and carpet for my truck. 100 bucks for the seats and 50 for the carpet sounds cheap enough.. 60 dollars to ship it too MS.. I hate the fact i can't look at it though.. I hate to buy something in the dark.

I have been using car-part.com for years. You can find the cheapest parts from salvage yards all over the country. I have had the best luck with it and have gotten alot of quality parts. Never gotten a bad part.

If I need a part fast and don't mind paying a higher proce for it, I was using TAPrecycling.com. I always call them because their web support sucks. They are a Toyota/Lexuz only yard, but you have to know what you want and the cross reference vehicles because they are retards.

Now I use a local Toyota yard for fast cheap parts.

Are you referring to yourself in the third-person?

My part i just ordered from them saved me almost $100 compared to other jyard's. You just have to keep calling to make sure they removed what you wanted, and that they shipped it. I would order from them again

I got my manual hubs there...good selection but the people weren't very friendly. Next time I will check you out Jim Wales!

I am pretty good at haggling and they didn't want to seem to budge at their prices.

AVOID THIS YARD. Straight fraud, charging my credit card in response to a disagreement I had with Troy, one of the owners, about a previous overcharge. He just gave me a big " you" with a $20 charge for no reason at all, currently being investigated as fraud by Mastercard and my bank.
