ssp recycling inc

As the proprietor of the largest and most reputable used Subaru dealership on the planet — Auto World Subaru in Fremont, CA – there are very few other businesses which I would say have similarly high competence and character — and SSP Recycling is one of them.
Tony is an oracle of Subaru knowledge and the entire staff is extremely helpful. Unlike a lot of corporate parts dismantlers (LKQ for example) — these guys have a high standard of quality control so everything I get from them works great.
And in the rare case when a used parts doesn’t work properly they always seek to resolve the situation to the benefit of the customer. I recommend their shop to all of my Sacramento area Subaru customers.

This is my first Unilocal review, and that’s only relevant since I created a Unilocal account because I was above and beyond impressed with SSP Recycling. I mainly dealt with Tony, but the other employees are all friendly and will openly chat with you and offer their advice. Here’s my story. My faithful Subaru Forester lasted until 185 thousand miles until my engine gave up and ate a piston ring going up the freeway one day. It’s my work vehicle so I bought another Forester the next morning and set about how to fix my poor blown up one. Enter SSP. I found an engine online with new head gaskets and a year warranty out of a recycling yard in Rancho Cordova. I thought, this is too good to be true, but I went down to check it out. Immediately I was met with people who were excited to help me and just wanted to get my faithful Subie back on the road. They sent me home with an engine and core charge totalling 1250. As with wrecking yards the parts are used and not always what you’re expecting, the valves ticked something terrible. I was bummed, I thought I’d have to burn another entire weekend swapping in a replacement engine from them. So I drove down there to start the process. Tony was surprised that the engine was bad, and immediately offered to have me drop the car off with them and they would take care of it. Normally I don’t trust any shop with my car, but I went out on a limb and gave it back to them. A week later they called me and had me come pick it up. I’ve put 10k miles on it since, it sounds better than my motor ever did, has more power, gets better milage, and all around I couldn’t be happier. This shop knows their stuff, they have great prices on any part your Subaru could need, and they’ll even do the work for you (if you’re into that sort of thing)! I have never had a business back up their warranty so well.

I was looking for a Dismantler who could replace a door on my daughter’s 2007 Subaru Outback. I was very impressed by the service, reasonable price & great service John & the rest of the staff give to their customers. I mean, amidst doing their work, they were helping out a business neighbor by providing them assistance with a forklift and pallet jack so the neighbor could unload & move a pallet into their business. Great crew! I would not hesitate recommending them!

Great customer service, had ALL the parts I needed. Went out of their way to make sure I was happy and worked very fast to get my the parts ASAP. Ask for John, very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

Was looking through online for a Subaru Outback Grill and found
. Decided to give them a call and was immediately helped with great service. Instead of filling out a form and waiting for someone to call you back like most salvage yards, SSP Recycling not only called me back but took the time to find the part I needed and send me pictures of the item within the hour.
It’s hard to find service like this nowadays and from that alone, I will be back for more parts.

They always take good care of me. John is very helpful and knowledgeable. This is the best place for Subaru parts anywhere!!! Clean parts and great prices!!!
