Garbage!!!!! If you see any high stars it’s because people have been paid off. If you are a females be very careful they will scam you. Smh lucky I know my metals. Two thumbs down!! πŸ‘ŽπŸΌ πŸ‘ŽπŸΌ.

Scam alert they are HORRIBLE!!! They will jerk you if you do not know your metals and wires. They will say Tin when it’s really magnetic stainless. I stripped all of my wires and they gave me the lowest wire when I had the second highest. If you take a chance with them be careful. I am done with them. Just warning everyone else how they scam people.

Review β„–4

Not a good experience. I’ve been there two times and got under weighed both times. The Mexicans speak Spanish and weigh your stuff twice which is interesting. Thought they were worth a try because they claim to have the best prices which may be true. That being said they don’t have honest scales and employees.

I give it this due to my own reasons. My experience at first was great, then ended terribly. Employees are amazing though!

This scrapyard is by far the best scrapyard in the area! The workers are very kind and very polite. Very spacious and very well organized. The workers in the metal shop move so quickly and elegantly that they can have you scaled very fast. It does not take very long for you to be scaled and paid! They have great prices for their scrap metal and you never have to worry about them trying to rip you off! Very loyal and very smart! Go to this scrapyard when you want to turn your metal in. You will not regret it!

Thought we were getting ripped off here, so before going today with a very small amount just to test it, we weighed it. 36.7 pounds. Guess what weight at scrap yard was? 10pounds. They rob you, go elsewhere... empire scrap in Albany pays you for what you have, the staff is friendly and you won’t leave needing a patch for your tire.

Very well organized, sweepers keep metal out of roadways so less likely to puncture a ride, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, prices are fair, scales are accurate and its spacious enough not to be crowded even during rush periods

$12 less a Net Ton For my vehicle because there was no motor. Just another way of screwing us over. Weight is weight. Like it makes a difference to them once they crush it up and ship it out. It’s just a big game they play. Definitely call around and check prices before going to Ben Wiseman.

Its my oppinion that having two prices for scrap cars is wrong. Im selling you cars as scrap based on their weight, not for what they have attached.
